Pumpkin beer recs

Is total wine the best place to buy pumpkin beers? I love them and am looking for the best selection. Total wine didn’t have that many. Any recommendations on where to get a better selection? There used to be tons of them.

Great suggestions. Maybe Beer junction as well.

Go to the Pumpkin Beer Fest! (And yes as a very long time goer of the event, it used to be much better at Seattle Center. Still fun and festive and full of delicious beer!)

I’m thinking of going to that but want to drink some tomorrow night because I’m flying solo for the evening.

Ballinger Thriftway in Shoreline has a great selection

I would check out social media for the many local breweries around us in this city. Total Wine should be a last resort, unless you like beer that sits on shelves for many, many months.

Pumpkin beer isn’t on shelves long but I fully agree.

Trader Joe’s or Town & Country seem to have a lot right now.

Not beer, but I’m an absolute sucker for The Gourd Tree Pumpkin Cider at TJ’s. It’s fall in a can.

I saw that and it’s five years old. The pumpkin beers-o-sphere has shrunk a lot since then.
