I love pumpkins. Actually, that is an understatement, I AM OBSESSED WITH PUMPKINS. Every year and at the end of the fall season, I'll go to my local grocery story and stock up on canned pumpkin puree as if I was preparing for a natural disaster. You know, when there is a "tropical storm" heading your way and all of the sudden everyone is running to the supermarket to get bottled water and canned goods and usually by the time you arrive, if you're a procrastinator like me, only your ridiculous $13 dollar designer water and chicken broth left.
So every year I look forward to Southern Tier's Pumking release date, usually the end of August. Pumking is so popular that they will only stock a few bottles on the floor and keep the rest of the cases behind the counter. 99% of time you are limited to a certain amount of bottles that you're able to purchase- due to the high demand and popularity. I recommend calling local beer stores to see if they have some Pumking available (and kindly ask them to reserve you a bottle or two because you are literally en route) before you make the anticipated drive over only to be let down and left feeling depressed and saddened because they just sold the last few bottles 30 seconds before you arrived.
If you can't get your hands on Pumking this year, a great runner up is Schlafly's Pumpkin Ale- definitely quite tasty. So run along to your local beer store and look for Pumking, Schlafly, and other various pumpkin beers so you can have a fun beer tasting with you and your friends!
