For the seasonal beer lover, October very well may be the best month of the year as two favorite brews return to local taps: Oktoberfest and Pumpkin Ale.

In honor of Cleveland Beer Week, we’ve tackled one of these fine seasonal brews and compiled a list of Cleveland’s best pumpkin pints.

As you sample around over the next nine days, do let us know which pumpkin ales you love and loathe. We’re keen to see how your list and ours compare.

Cheers.
