Every year I look forward to Fall for many reasons:
- Gloomy, chilly weather
- Gorgeous colorful trees
- Pumpkin beer
- Thoughts of New England
- Excellent running weather
- Snuggling with my ladies
- Corduroy
- Octoberfest beer
- Wool sweaters
This year I have tried four "pumpkin" beers.
- Samuel Adams' Octoberfest
- Lakefront Brewery's Pumpkin Ale
Milwaukee, WI - Shipyard Brewery's Pumpkinhead Ale
Portland, ME - Blue Moon's Harvest Ale
Coors, Denver, CO - Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale
Hayward, CA
All of these ales have their own unique taste. Some have a more pronounced pumpkin flavor than others. My two favorites thus far are the Lakefront and Shipyard, but the Sam Adams has been growing on me. I have not tried the Buffalo Bills but when I do, I will post more photos and review.
If you are looking for a refreshing, seasonal beer to replace your normal Bud, or Coors, you might like these. If you do not want a strong pumpkin taste, I recommend the Sam Adams Octoberfest or the Blue Moon's Pumpkin Ale.

I'm a big fan of the Sam Adams Oktoberfest. It is everything you could want in a beer. It's tasty without being too bitter and even though I like a wide variety of beers, I like the smoothness of this one. It's awesome. I only recently had it and immediately it went to the top of my list.
Damn I just gave all my corduroy to Good Will - did it make a come back???
