Another thing to keep in mind is that none of us are professional beer judges just professional beer drinkers. This taste test was not a blind test, everyone knew what they were drinking but did their best to not let that influence their decisions. The beers were rated on a 50 point scale with aspects of the beer weighted with different maximum point values depending on their importance. We scored the beers using the standard BJCP score sheet. Since we were tasting such vast list of beers it was only appropriate that we scored each one to find out what our favorites were. With this in mind I got some friends together to taste all the pumpkin beers we could get our hands on and that turned out to be quite a few. In total we tried 18 different pumpkin beers that varied in style from pumpkin porters to pumpkin Oktoberfest and a few other unique pumpkin variations. I love pumpkins, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cream liquor, roasted pumpkin seeds, pumpkin coffee, jack o’ lanterns, the color orange, pretty much anything pumpkin related. Every year there are more and more pumpkin beers as new breweries and old not so craft breweries try their hand at crafting these autumn treats. In addition to those great styles popping up the Pumpkin Beers start flooding the market. It is harvest season for hops so fresh hop beers start hitting the liquor store shelves and winter warmers and seasonal stouts start to show their faces as well.
