Welcome to October! Golden copper leaves, indian corn, football, sweaters and toasty beverages. Many say this is their favorite time of year and to live in Michigan it almost has to be, because what proceeds these beautiful transitions is sometimes unbearable and menacing. This time of year brings about some great seasonal delights from local breweries, octoberfest, fall ambers, and of course, pumpkin (and spice!). Pumpkin beers can very greatly between flavor profiles, some a rich as a muffin and others as light as a seed. Spice profile can be abundant as well, with obvious hints of vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger. Below is a list of some pumpkin specialties available within the southeast, some are bottled, while others are tap only. Enjoy one with a giant piece of pie!
New Holland Brewery - Ichabod (bottled)
Arcadia Ales - Jawjacker (bottled)
Michigan Brewing Company - Screamin' Pumpkin Spiced Ale (bottled)
Dragonmead - Lil's Grumplin Pumpkin
Bastone Brewery - Belgian Pumpkin Porter (my personal favorite)
