Great Pumpkins
First brewed by English colonists in the New World during the 18th century, pumpkin ales are usually a rich amber to orange color, with a nice biscuit-like maltiness and a pumpkin aroma. Some are made with actual pumpkin with others achieve flavor with pumpkin pie spices. We’ve got several pumpkin beers for you to enjoy, including selections from Blue Moon, Dogfish Head, Samuel Adams, Coronado, Almanac, and Buffalo Bill’s (which tastes exactly like a slice of pumpkin pie). The Almanac Barrel-Aged Pumpkin Barleywine might be our most unique, made from California-grown pumpkins and aged in wood barrels for added flavor.

These ciders are made with organic hibiscus and lemon with real cane sugar, and they’re fermented with a strain of yeast that’s typically used for specialty beers, adding another layer of flavor and depth to the product.
