I don't know if the links on the right still work.  They'll remain as a testament to the cool, interesting, and foggy yesteryear.

 

 

I love you Em.... here's to keeping us going on until infinity... 19 years strong

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.

Sangre Fall Feast

Pumpkin spiced, drunken jerk sauced pulled pork & coleslaw on a toasted ciabatta bun, beet bloody garlic aioli fingerling potatoes, and a beet, red onion, green pepper, cilantro salad coated in olive oil and pomegranate balsamic vinegar dressing.

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?!

Harvestous Mutation

Samuel Adams Harvest Pumpkin Ale is all things pumpkin pie spice and just in time for the autumnal equinox. 5.7%.
