Here’s what you have to look forward to:
Prairie Artisan Ales - Pumpkin Kerfuffle - 8.2% ABV x 1 can
The crew at Prairie, who brewed one of the 12 most popular beers on Tavour last year, crafted this tart Autumnal treat with pumpkin pie spice and gooey toasted marshmallows. Each sip starts refreshingly tart and crisp before easing into the rich, cinnamon-y flavor of a slice of whip-cream topped pumpkin pie.
Only it’s better, because this pie was baked with a bold 8.2% ABV!
Energy City - Bistro Grande Pumpkin Cobbler - 6.5% ABV x 1 can
We can’t even count the number of “best pumpkin beer ever” and “perfect pumpkin brew” reviews on Bistro Grande: Pumpkin Cobbler’s UT page.
To craft it, the brewers at Energy City started with their Berliner Weisse base and added pumpkin, vanilla, and autumnal spices after fermentation. It’s everything you want in a cozy fall treat — cinnamon and nutmeg flavors make this full-bodied “pumpkin pie in a glass” taste just like the beloved seasonal dessert!
Aslin Brewing Co. - How Now Brown Cow: Pumpkin Spice - 6% ABV x 1 can
This festive Milk Stout really brings the spice, spice baby! Aslin Brewing Co. conditioned the brew on pumpkin pie spices and vanilla for notes of pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger over the deep, rich, chocolatey Stout base.
Craft fans on Untappd are really falling for it: @Blake A. calls it “soooo amazing!!! Such a great mix of pumpkin and chocolate.”
Rahr & Sons Brewing - Rumpy Rum Barrel Aged Imperial Pumpkin Ale - 9% ABV x 2 cans
When the skilled brewers at Rahr and Sons crafted this brew, they wanted a Pumpkin Ale you could bring to the party. Heck, this beer IS the party!
Whether you’re heading to a Sunday afternoon tailgate or a holiday soirée with your in-laws, its mosh pit of top-shelf rum, cinnamon, and allspice — doused in a sinful 9% ABV — will keep the pumpkin party rockin’ all season long. A jam session of caramel and brown sugar from the Brown Ale base vibes alongside a slightly hoppy finish.
Hoppin’ Frog - Frog’s Hollow Double Pumpkin Ale - 8.4% ABV x 1 can
The only thing better than pumpkin spiced coffee is taking lush, 8.4% ABV quaffs of Frog’s Hollow Double Pumpkin Ale!
To craft their ode to the autumnal equinox, the award-winning crew at Hoppin’ Frog used an extra-special spice blend. Like master bakers, they infused the beer with cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and real pumpkin puree! It’s like savoring a creamy bite of homemade pumpkin pie, but with a lusciously boozy kick.
Destination Unknown Beer Co. - Mandatory Pumpkin - 6% ABV x 1 can
DUBCO brewed this seasonal Ale with real pumpkin, then kicked up the complexity by weaving in a host of baking spices: cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg!
Every sip is like wrapping yourself in a soft sweater and stepping outside to take in the crisp fall air. The brew is smooth and brimming with pumpkin-spice depth, finishing briskly with a note of bread-y pie crust.
Wyndridge Farm - Pumpkin Spice Cider - 6.0% ABV x 1 can
Using proprietary cider apples sourced from their South Central Pennsylvania farm, award-winning Wyndridge imbues each crisp taste with the semi-sweet sensations of juicy, slightly tart apple, surrounding the palate like a group of friends around the fire.
Additions of pumpkin and fall spices like clove and cinnamon add an earthy, yet lightly-bitter backbone to the refreshing effervescence of the Cider base. Dashes of maple syrup and dates elevate it to even further heights, creating swaths of rich complexity reminiscent of a lovely glass of mulled Cider while under a warm blanket.
Masthead Brewing - Haunted Hayride Pumpkin Ale - 7.3% ABV x 1 can
The inventive brewers at Masthead thought outside the gourd with this brew. They went to Great Pumpkin-sized proportions and added a massive amount of cinnamon sticks, freshly-cracked nutmeg, fresh ginger, and real pumpkin to their succulent, seasonal sipper!
The result is a creamy-bodied, liquified pumpkin pie-like sensation reminiscent of Mom’s special recipe. After a swig or two, you’ll be feeling as giddy as a kid diggin’ into the famous fall dessert!
No tricks here — just 8 delectable treats to get you ready for the changing seasons. Grab a sweater, light a fire, and get ready to fall for these pumpkin brews!
