🌍 United States · Pumpkin Ale · One of 1 Pumpkin Ales in hopIQ

One of America's original and most beloved pumpkin ales, brewed every autumn since 1994 with real pumpkin, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice — rich and warming with a bready malt base, holiday spice, and a smooth, clean finish. A seasonal tradition that predates the craze.
