Not sure on the official release date, but I'd guess that they'll start trickling out any time now.

Also interesting to note that the Beau's Weiss-O-Lantern isn't on the list. It's definitely coming, so might just be an oversight.

Really looking forward to the howe sound. As always will be buying a fair share of pumpking, which is one of my favourite brews.

Will definitely be searching for the ST Pumking. This is my all time favourite beer!

Pete, you shouldn't have to search too far as it gets a fairly large distribution.
Enjoy!

Well, it's not in Cambridge just yet. I'm willing to wait.

The Howe Sound is excellent.

I am not huge on Pumpkin beers, but I am intersted to try the ones I have't had yet: The Black Creek and the Rogue offerings. I will likely pass on the rest (although I doubt I will have the restraint to not buy any ST Pumking).

And keep those Howe Sound swingtops for any home brewers you know!

Maybe I'm really sensitive to diacetyl, but I find the Pumking to be a buttery mess. I can't finish a glass.

I'm looking forward to Howe Sound Obviously, but I wonder if the sleeper is going to be the Black Creek...
