Pumpkin (Beer) Week Is Here!
Pumpkin Beers one of our favorite seasonal treats is yummy, festive, and here today, sold out tomorrow… Last year we learned that pumpkin beer wasn’t likely to stick around long enough to make Halloween, (the perfect time for a pumpkin beer) in fact, most wouldn’t even be here much past August… Not so cool!
This year… we wanted to have some of your favorite spicy, sweet pumpkiny treats on hand for all your Halloween festivities… so today, the Monday before Halloween, We declare… Pumpkin Beer Week officially here! We have saved some of your favorite pumpkin beers, ales, and imperials, for sale this week… so come on in and share the bounty before the Pumpkin King says goodbye for another year…
Instead of pottage and puddings and custards and pies,
Our pumpkins and parsnips are common supplies;
We have pumpkin at morning and pumpkin at noon;
If it was not for pumpkins we should be undone
… Hey down, down, hey down derry down….
If barley be wanting to make into malt
We must be contented and think it no fault
For we can make liquor, to sweeten our lips,
Of pumpkins and parsnips and walnut-tree chips.
