The Great Pumpkin IS coming!!!

GreatpumpkinCan you think of a more appropriate time to release a 9.2% abv pumpkin beer than on Mischief Night?  That’s when we’ll roll out our Imperial Pumpkin Ale.  This is a little like the famed “Ichabod” that Larry likes to make.  Mine isn’t done with a Belgian yeast though and I’ve added a bit of molasses to the brew along with the Belgian candi sugar.  It’s rich, warming and pumpkiny!  It will be on tap tomorrow at 5:00 pm.  Enjoy!  Also look forward to the bourbon barrel aged version of this beer in a couple of months.

Cheers,

Chris

P.S. Speaking of the Great Pumpkin… A couple of years ago Tomme Arthur of Port Brewing / Lost Abbey did a blog post involving trick or treating, beer and the Peanuts.  It cracked me up.

    Mr. Lappy,

    Being a seasoned parent of trick-or-treaters, you bring your your own beverage. We can’t be choosers, unless it comes down to KitKats vs Snickers ;-)
