Halloween beers must be consumed between Oct 16 and Nov 1. No exceptions. :D
Hehe. My appetite for pumpkin beers is about 2 weeks long. I really like the ones that are nutmeg/spicy/different.

Despite their not so long shelflife, I still have a few left from last year. Think I'll onyl stick to new ones I haven't had this year.

Shipyard had both their regular pumpkin ale and the smashed pumpkin on tap and in bottles at the brewery last week. Pretty sure I saw Pumking in stores as well as the Sam Adams one all while in the NY/NH/ME area.

Having 9 of them does seem like a bit of overkill until you go to Premier in Buffalo and see about 40 of them ;). Will still happy to drink a few of these - at least until November rolls around.

That's the way she goes. Sometimes she goes, sometimes it doesn't. She didn't go. That's the way she goes.

This isn't part of the listing (according to OP), so this would probably be left over stock from last year, which as I recall, was delayed in actually reaching the shelves in the first place. That's not cool.

Well to be fair, the LCBO labs tested and found pumpkin in the beer.

"PUMPKIN"!! Can you imagine that in beer! Think of society and the children! The Children! They would love this! And it's in an ORANGE BOTTLE!
