All this info, 3 release topics at once is causing info overload.

I'm still trying to figure out how much Hennepin I should buy.

Thanks for the good work Greg!

I don't like pumpkin beers, so I'm sort of on the same boat.

But then if they did a release with 9 RIS in it I'd be overjoyed, so I guess I'll temper my criticism.

I'm not a fan of the Ghosttown either. Oh well. More money for the autumn release!

It's Hallowe'en folks, not Beer Diversity Day. Pumpkin beers seem to be hard to get a large, Ontario-size supply of and they sell well here, so it's good they're meeting the demand.

At least they're not buying beers like Malted Corpse purely based on name. Though I'd surely love a Fantome feature... now there's a 750ml worth ten bucks.

Yeah, what other Hallowe'en beers are there beyond pumpkin ones... Looking forward to trying the new ones.

Really looking forward to Pumking as always. We had it on tap numerous times in NYC the last time we were there. Downright dangerous beer for me... :wink:

I was hoping for St Ambroise Maple Ale.

I guess that's for next year?
