Thrillist says Schlafley's Pumpkin Ale is one of the best in America...duh! One of favorite things about living in St. Louis is that there is so much amazing beer! And now we're getting into my favorite beer season too! My favorite beers are darker or medium body, like porters, stouts, browns, etc. Sometimes, it's a struggle to find those on tap during the summer. But now that the temperature is dropping...the options are endless. Now I need to get my hands on this "liquid pumpkin pie!"

No conversation about pumpkin beer is complete without Schlafly, which might just be the most well-balanced bottle in the patch. The spiciness on the nose may spook some, but one sip reveals how it's medium-bodied and smooth on the palate, with pumpkin flavors playing along more as an accent than the language. Oh, and the real good news is that it tastes exactly like liquid pumpkin pie. It's what people in the industry call a "converter" beer because even people who hate this style will usually find something they like. Not surprisingly, this makes it a pretty obvious choice for a cooler option at your Halloween party or mid-season tailgate.
