This time of year makes me glad I hate pumpkin.

Stopped by my Whole Foods to taste a shot at some Alpine, but when they didn't have it, the beer guy had pity on me and hooked me up with a Cabernet Four Swords.

Pumpkin beers or pumpkin in general because pumpkin pie is awesome.

Pumpkin in general. Pumpkin pie is only good if you bury it in Cool Whhip.

Put me in the camp that doesn't have any use for pumpkin. Although I tried one of Avery's barrel pumpkin beers, rumpkin I think, at one of the bars at copper last year. It actually wasn't that bad, mostly cause it didn't taste like pumpkin too much.

Yeah, there's no doubt about that. One of these days I'd like to get a group back up for RAGBRAI. Well, assuming I learn how to ride a bike again.

I don't hate pumpkin. But I have no use for it either. So no chasing pumpkinator for me.

I love Pecan Pie. All other pies are second rate citizens, honestly.

I make a mean Pecan Pie.

What is the difference in pie and cobbler? I bought a pecan cobbler from a little kid doing a school fundraiser. I haven't had it yet, but it looks just like pecan pie.

Interesting - I've heard a variety of opinions from "tastes the same" to "much worse and I'll never buy it again." I've only had Nelson after the Green Flash acquisition so I don't have a reference for comparison but I thought it was really good.

probably the same people who swear Goose Island tastes different and complain loudly about InBev, yet will wait in line and drive all over town to pick up BCBS so they can post pictures on facebook and brag about "whalez bro."

I was buying beer at HEB Bunker Hill for a party at my house this weekend but they didn't have Nelson yet. I was hoping to give it a whirl to see if there was a difference.

Had the GF version and it was damn good. Wouldn't let it deter me from buying it.

the only alpine I've had was after the acquisition as well. I thought the hoppy birthday tasted significantly better on tap than the bottle I just had a couple days ago.

Picked up JK Estival Dichotomous yesterday. Farmhouse Ale Refermented with Melons.

It was at Choice Beverage in McKinney if anyone is looking for it. They also had Snorkel.

Excited to try both.

Pan style and structure of the crust.

Also, no such thing as non fruit "cobblers."

It's akin to all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are square. All cobblers are fruit, but not all pies are fruit.

Just got my 2015 Pumpkinator.

Only one I have ever had was at a beer dinner and it was a few years old and barrel aged. Not expecting this one to be as good, but excited to try it.

Did they have anything good on tap? I didn't see them on taphunter and the last tweet they had was from last weekend

I apologize for saying the CS heb was slacking. I asked Steve for a Pumpkinator in person, and he got one for me from the back. Thanks La Fours.

You're welcome, glad to help. Steve and Sereth are both really nice guys. I think they just are a little too busy to keep their social media stuff up to date.

La Cumbre in Albuquerque has some legit beers. Definitely should make a visit if in town. Grabbed a bottle of Project Dank and an Saison refermented with apricots.

Drinking a pumpkin from local brewery Barnett and sons. Only $4.50 for a 32oz growler.

Pretty tasty brew. Think I'll refill soon.

I need to find some Alpine bottles. Haven't seen them in west Fort Worth. Doesn't help that our central market is slacking.
