Generally brewed and released as a fall seasonal beer, the Pumpkin Ale style dates back to some of the earliest European settlers in America.
Generally brewed with cut pumpkin, pumpkin puree, or just pumpkin flavoring, these beers also usually include pumpkin pie spices - ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. The beer itself is usually on the mild side, with a low bitterness and subtle malt backbone that allows the pumpkin and spices to come through.
Generally served cool, 46-54 degrees, in a pint glass or beer mug.
This rich and luscious brew indulges in flavor with over 28 lbs. of pumpkin per barrel, for a full bodied sweetness and deep russet color. Classic pumpkin pie spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice ignite a warmth and spark that’s deepened by an undercurrent of roasty smoked malts.
