It can't be all hard liquor at your Halloween party -- not that you don't plan to sip martinis all night, but some of your guests might prefer beer or wine. For the beer drinkers at your Halloween party, there's Post Road Pumpkin Ale.Each batch of beer is made from hundreds of pounds of pumpkins, which create an orangey amber-colored beer with a pumpkin fragrance. The Pumpkin Ale is available for about $9.
Now here's a tip for chilling and serving that Pumpkin Ale. Get your hands on the largest pumpkin you can find, top it off, hollow it out, clean it, then fill with ice. It's a pumpkin cooler!

There are lots of pumpkin ales out there.
My favorite - and I'm not a huge pumpkin ale fan - is Dogfish Head (http://www.dogfish.com/) Punkin Ale.
I could drink TONS of it.

I'm currently drinking Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale. It's not bad, but other opinions have told me I should be going for Post Road or Dogfish Head.

Post Road is a good pumpkin ale, possibly the best you can buy in stores. I like many Dogfish Head beers, but I don't think I've had Punkin. The best pumpkin beers I've had have been at brewpubs.
Do not, under any circumstances, drink Blue Moon Pumpkin. It's terrible.

At least, in my area, you can buy the Punkin at Total Wine (that area being Northern VA).
I saw that there's an Anheiser-Busch (I believe) seasonal pumpkin ale yet - but haven't had the guts yet to try it. That line of seasonals they're doing, though, haven't been that bad - I kind of liked last winter's bourbon cask ale or whatever it was.
