I know we have a thread for "What are you drinking?" but I want to see specifically what everybody is drinking on Halloween.

Me? I picked up some Rogue Dead Guy Ale because it seemed appropriate.

Dunno. I usually drink whatever the former Pred who does adult as well as child Trick or Treat hands me (which usually means Molson, because he's Canadian and all). But maybe I should think about this a bit. Dead Guy would definitely be on my list, but may also consider Unibroue Maudite or Ommegang Scyth & Sickle, because I like all three beers, and they all have a nice Halloween-ish theme goin' on. If I had any local access to Great Lakes, Nosferatu would be on my list as well. I may have to hit the beer store tomorrow and pick up one of these three. I really wish I liked pumpkin beers, because I keep almost picking up New Holland Ichabod because I really like the label...

Unfortunately with no Michigan beers on the list, it may have to be a Rumpkin to pair with my peanut butter cups. But, am half tempted to get some Founders Breakfast Stout or Bells Expedition Stout. The wife did pick me up some Dirty Bastard, but I think she is expecting me to save that for Saturday''s c-o-l-d tailgate to go with the cider and Cap'n Morgans.

We've gotten a cold spell......might go down to 56 tonite So it's Stout time for me! Sorry Ron, there's none left for you.

We actually have trick or treat tonight instead of tomorrow night. And I will be drinking a Black Rajah IPA from Brew Kettle. It's not really a Halloween theme....but it is black!!!

You want me to pick up a 4 pack and bring it with me to Nashville?

You have to ask? Will 4 be enough?

I used to always have Rogue Dead Guy Ale as well at whatever halloween party I attended but I haven't been able to find any of their go in the dark jugs this year.

Not sure what I'll end up taking instead.

Doing an impromptu fall(ish)/Halloween beer tasting with some friends. Nothing too serious, very informal. A good amount of beers though
So far I'm bringing to the table:

Porkslap Pale Ale - Butternuts Beer & Ale
Schlafly Pumpkin Ale - The Schlafly Tap Room
Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale - Smuttynose Brewing Company
Punkin Ale - Dogfish Head Brewery
Fermentation Without Representation - Epic Brewing Company
Pumpkin Ale - Kern River Brewing Company
Pinchy Jeek Barl - Bourbon Barrel Aged - Anderson Valley Brewing Company
Fall Hornin' - Anderson Valley Brewing Company
Pecan Harvest Ale - Abita Brewing Co.
Grey Lady - Cisco Brewers Inc.
Barrel Aged Red Ale - can't think of the name right now
Pecan Pie Porter (2014) - Clown Shoes
Drago - Specialty Stout - MY HOMEBREW

Damn, thats a hell of a list.

What can I say? We are lushes!
No but seriously, its not as intense as it seems, we pour 5 ounce pours and taste over the course of the entire night 4-5 hours, so really it only works out to like a pint an hour give or take a few ounces.
Although Halloween might be a bit more than usual, one of the girl's coming tells me she got a bunch of beers for the tasting too...I'm up for the challenge!

Thats the way to do it.

I'm taking Friday off, and I have errands to run, including getting a new CO2 bottle for the keezer and taking a trip to the LHBS for Sunday's brew day.

I won't be drinking anything special, although Friday night is bowling league night, and I always have two or three Muddy Creek Lagers during the evening.

This I had it last weekend at Beach Brewing's 4th anniversary celebration, and I have to say, it is one of the most complex and interesting beers I've ever tasted.

I got 2 bombers at $12 a piece (ouch), I'll probably hold the second one for News Years Eve
