A Note on This Beer
Megan has been part of the Tavour family since the beginning. Another thing about Megan? She loves Pumpkin Beer. And I don’t mean in the ho-hum “I enjoy sipping Pumpkin Ales by the fireside,” kind of way. I mean in the “I drink nothing but Pumpkin Beer from September to November,” kind of way.
So when Elysian sold out -- and took her beloved Punkuccino with them -- Megan collapsed into an inconsolable puddle of Pumpkin-withdrawal misery. Where was she going to find a boozy craft brew with nutmeg and allspice aromas and the rich, molasses body she loved?
To fill this void in Megan’s heart, we set out to find an even better, 100% independent craft beer replacement: we found it in Pumpkinator Imperial Pumpkin Stout from Texas’s Saint Arnold Brewing.
One sip had Megan muttering, Elysian who? Punkuccino what? And Megan’s not the only one -- Pumpkinator is ranked #2 in its style on BeerAdvocate by Pumpkin fans who love how Saint Arnold doesn’t sacrifice flavor for booze and vice-versa. This Pumpkin Ale is packed with a Texas-sized 10.5% ABV that will keep your lantern lit long after All Hallows Eve.
Built on a rich dark chocolate malt base that highlights aromas of cinnamon, molasses, and brown sugar, this booze-o’-lantern smells like hanging out in the kitchen while your mom bakes her famous pumpkin pie -- and tastes like eating the batter and chasing it with a shot of whiskey!
We get a lot of Pumpkin Beers here at Tavour, but we love Pumpkinator so much, we bring it back every year. And even though she happily sips on every delightful gourd we get, Megan eagerly counts down the days until her favorite indie-crafted boozy pumpkin is back.
