Blight - Elysian Brewing

Toasted cinnamon & ginger crusted apple crisps. Sugar malted candy corns.  Your dentist cringes at the mere aroma of this beer.  7.4%.

The undisputed masters of pumpkin beers.  The end is beer.

Imperial Chocolate Pumpkin Porter(s)

If brewing died off over tomorrow there is little doubt that beers under the 'Imperial Chocolate Pumpkin Porter' category would be the first ones re-liquidated by Herbert West.

Pumpkin Junction

My long overdue first trip to Beer Junction conveniently coincides with their 1st annual pumpkin beer extravaganza.  Elysian are the Tyson of pumpkin beers but Puyallup's Jack O' Lahar was gingerbread torsos blended, blasphemied, and battered in boozed caramel icing. 

Pumpkin beer milkshakes?!
