Avery Rumpkin

Just confirmed that more cases hit Austin than the original 5. Specs RR now has 1 "surprise" case (limit 1), so likely other places got more cases as well.

Nothing personal but screw you Austinites!

HERE HERE!

Haters gonna hate

wha wah wahhhh!

Petrol Station tweeted that they will have Rumpkin bottles this Saturday:

Uncle Hoppy‏@Petrol_Station
Anniversary party this sat @noon: bottles- Avery rumpkin & Saint Arnold Bishops Barrel #1

I'm there dude!

I'll be there also.

I don't think I can drink enough with all of the awesome stuff they are having... almost wish I could buy a taster card..ha.

I had a bizarre dream that I bought a ton of this since it was sitting on shelves a long time. How far from reality that is

I remember when you could get Rumpkin by the pint!

Sadly even run of the mill stuff is hard to find sometimes because of craigslist hoarding a-holes...

I visited Specs Airport on Saturday around 3pm and was told they were all out. I'll keep checking around town while crossing my fingers.

Is Rumpkin worth it? I loved Pumkinator and was wondering how Rumpkin compared. Is it more a buy and age beer?

Cheers.

I had one last night and I think it's absolutely worth it. I have one from last year and I'm going to drink that one soon to compare. The only thing about aging it is they develop a LOT of sediment. There's an inch of goop in the my bottle from last year and I had a couple more that were becoming increasingly more "goopy". Rumpkin and Pumpkinator are totally different beers. Rumpkin is not a stout but just an extremely potent ale brewed with pumpkin and spices. Pumpkinator is also not barrel aged as Rumpkin is rum barrel aged. It took me 2 hours to finish the Rumpkin and the fun thing about it is that the beer completely changes from when you first pour it to the last sip. I started out with a cold, boozy beer with light carbonation and great pumpkin spice and rum flavor. By the time I finished I felt like I was drinking a pumpkin liqeuer. Do yourself a favor and track a bottle down...

Bs, I was just told its not coming to Dfw...all sold down south.

Time to pull Avery products from your cold box then.

After all "No glovey, no lovey"

Just grabbed some of this at Specs Brodie. There was about 4 left after i grabbed one.

Bought 3 today at Twin Liquors. Plenty more. If anyone wants to trade up, let me know.

Any Rumpkin sightings in Houston?

do you do shipping ? Or coming to houston any time soon ?

Hmm there might be hope after all

If we can work out logistics, i'd be down...

Which Twin Liquors?

I'd like to know which Twin as well.

7301 FM 620 N. The bottles are in the fridge, big box. 10 bucks a piece.

I believe there were two cases and I did get 4 bottles, split em with a buddy.

King Liquor on Burnet has some left.

Grabbed 3 bottles at the Twin on 620 on Friday. They still had a good 15 bottles or so left. I think I'll give them some age before even opening one. We'll see how long until temptation gets the better of me though.

Did they up their beer game? I walked into that place a few years ago and I wasn't impressed.

yes, they've been getting much better beer over the last year to year and a half.

Screw Avery.

How about no but, I feel your pain.

Meh. Not an Avery fan really.

Saves more Mephistopheles, Samael's, Czar and Kaiser for me.

Maharaja, Uncle Jacob's Stout, Beast.....

Fixed...

I missed the bus on UJ and I am a sad panda for it.

I had a Beast a couple of months ago for the 1st time since I got into craft. It was one of my first "big beers" I couldn't stand it then and I enjoyed it 2 months ago.

Even as a craft guy I didn't like the Beast or Samael. That was over 2 years ago though. Maybe it's time to try again. I've never had Mephistopheles.

And Uncle Jacobs is soooooo good. They say it'll be back next year, so fingers crossed!

I have had DDH Dugana and would like to try DDH Maharaja if they ever bring any our way.

I went away from Avery for a while then, I had Dugana and it was all good.
