We get all sorts of seasonals at my LCBO store and a lot of them sit on the shelf for some time. But the great Lakes pumpkin ale sells out faster than you can imagine. Every joe 6-pack is buying one. I am not complaining, rather stating fact. I wonder why this is?

Because pumpkin (along with pumpkin pie flavourings) is one of the most underrated food products in the world. We all forget about it for 11 months then you see pumpkin flavoured products in October and you are like, "Oh ya, pumpkin is delicious!" There are pumpkin products everywhere from lattes at Starbucks to donuts at Tim's, so when people see pumpkin beer, it probably doesn't seem intimidating to them.

Then I'll enjoy a slice of pumpkin pie or pumpkin muffins my wife just made. Oh and later, I'll be sipping some Great Lakes Pumpkin Ale on tap from my keg fridge! You gotta love pumpkin!

The Brooklyn was weird to me in that it was a total one-hit-wonder. The first bottle was awesome and then it was a total chore to finish the rest that I bought last year. I forget what others I've had. Matt7215's homebrewed Pumpkin was delightful.
