Gourd-geous Brews--Pumpkin Beers

The fall of 2012 has, for me at least, been the season of pumpkin beers.  Last year, I saw a handful of pumpkin-flavoured brews, tried some, and reviewed one. This year, they've been completely ubiquitous.  I've seen pumpkin beers from all over the US and Canada, from breweries small and large, and in a variety of styles.  My original plan was to have a pumpkin beer theme week, but there are too many for that.  It'll be more like a theme fortnight.  Brace yourselves.
