Seasonal Beers

Blue Moon's is pretty good. Ichabod is one of my favorites this season. Another very good one is Flying Dog's Dogtoberfest.

Of all the Pumkins i've had so far this year the Dogfish Head has been my favorite with the Blue Moon not far behind.

I wait all year for October to roll around for Pumpkin beer season.

Post Road has been my favorite for years, but this year it's #2.
Buffalo Bill's is darn good, I put it at #1, but just barely.
Saranac is #3, and Smuttynose lags behind at #4.

I'm not a fan of Dogfish Head and Blue Moon Pumpkin, not spicy enough. Same reason I put Smuttynose at #4. Seems you get spiced beer, or pumpkin flavored beer, I'm partial to the spiced style.

Then in Feb the local microbrewery makes 'Naked Fish', a chocolate raspberry stout. Some people look forward to Valentine's Day, I look forward to 'Naked Fish' day

PUNK'N by Four + Brewing (Salt Lake City) is pretty good stuff.

My favorite is coming out soon.

Brooklyn Brewing Company's Black Chocolate Stout.

I'm looking forward to some Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale.

One of my favorites was the 06 Blue Moon Winter Ale. I remember last winter I was excited when I saw it on the shelves and bought it. To my surprise they changed the beer, the 07 wasn't as good as the 06 winter ale.

I hope they bring it back this winter.

Check around--I've been able to get this for a few weeks now. And I think I'll be picking up a 6pk every time I go in the store until they're out

I like stouts but found this weak and tasteless.
