My local Costco has a 4 pack of Pumking for $12. Is that a good price? Haven’t had it in years.

Yeah. I think it’s usually $14 or 15

Tried some Rhinegeist seasonal called Streaker. It’s an IPA that I rank as just OK.  Sometimes I wonder if Rhinegeist is making too many beers. 

Meanwhile, I picked up a six pack of Great Lakes Ocktoberfest.  My mind was refreshed as I had forgotten how good it is.

So I went to my go to place for sweet Italian sausage for my wife to make her excellent spaghetti sauce and I look over on the beer shelf and see an 8 pack of Little Kings from good old Hudepohl- Scheonling in Cincinnati. 
 

After trying craft beer after craft beer, these ones were great with my leftover turkey sandwich on toast with mayo and dill pickle. 
 

Would do again.

Enjoying a Blackout Stout.

Seems thinner than last year.  Still good, though.

It was a few years ago but they had samples of it at Jungle Jim's. I tried one then bought some. It actually tastes better than it used to. The owner of Christian Moerlein bought the branding and brought it back.

Little Kings aren't bad at all.

Just read that they are going to rebrand Little Kings to add Agave Lime and Blood Orange...not sure what to think about that. I also didn't realize it was once available in 48 states.

Eight pack of Little Kings after the Key Club meeting. Those innocent high school days.

I'll try it.  Could be okay.

I might try that too because Little Kings. Don't think I'll be buying a lot of it because it's not my style.

While I'm posting...Jungle Jim's has their Barrel Aged Beer Bash in January, cough cough Justincredible, I'm going again. Not just Bourbon barrel, but wine, rum, tequila barrels and the such.
