Here’s a list of the 16 tastiest pumpkin brews from the New England area that you MUST try this fall!
- Fisherman’s Pumpkin Stout- Cape Ann Brewing Co.
Fisherman’s Pumpkin Stout is a dark stout accentuated by flavors of the Autumn season. Using real pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice, the Cape Ann Brewing Company took a fresh take at the common fall seasonal. This rich dark stout offers an inviting pumpkin spice aroma that gives way to the delicate essence of real pumpkin. - Bushido Pumpkin Ale – Revival Brewing Co.
The pumpkin beer to slay all pumpkin beers. Made with ginger, lemongrass, rose hips, and pumpkin. Fermented with Saki and Octoberfest yeast.
- Great Pumpkin Ale – Cambridge Brewing Co.
New England’s first and CBC’s most sought after seasonal beer, The Great Pumpkin Ale, is back in bottles and on draft! We are very proud to be brewing with locally-grown sugar pumpkins from our friends at The Farm School in Athol, and Wilson Farms in Lexington. We’re also using organic barley that was grown in MA and then small-batch malted by our friends at Valley Malt in Hadley, MA.
- Jack-O-Traveler Pumpkin Shandy – The Traveler Beer Co.
Jack-O Traveler is an alluring wheat beer illuminated by the tastes of fall. He strikes a perfect balance between bright refreshment and seasonal spice. Jack is brewed with fresh pumpkin, for a delicious dark-hued, Shandy-inspired beer.
- Smashed Pumpkin- Shipyard Brewing Co.
A big bodied beer with a light coppery orange color and pleasing aroma of pumpkin and nutmeg. Pale Ale, Wheat and Light Munich malts combine with the natural tannin in pumpkin and the delicate spiciness of Saphir and Hallertau Hops to balance the sweetness of the fruit. To fully experience all the flavors, this beer is best enjoyed at 55 degrees Fahrenheit. - Pumpkinhead- Shipyard Brewing Co.
Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale is a crisp and refreshing wheat ale with delightful aromatics and subtle spiced flavor.
- Pumpkin Ale – Wolaver’s Fine Organic Ales
A golden amber ale with well-balanced malts and hops and mildly spiced. Brewed with local, organic pumpkins grown by Golden Russet Farm in Shoreham, Vermont. - Pumpkin Ale – Smuttynose Brewing Co.
We brew Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale with real pumpkin and a blend of classic pumpkin pie spices in tribute to our colonial forebearers. Recipes calling for the use of pumpkins have been found from early European settlers in New England, when brewers sought to extend their supply of costly imported malt with locally grown ingredients, such as squash and “pompions.” - R.I.P.umpkin – Newport Storm Brewery
Boasting 3 pounds of pumpkin per keg, coupled with lactose milk sugar, a touch of chocolate malt for a ruby/orange color, caramel and cara malts for sweetness and copious quantities of pale malt, the only ingredient left for this liquid pumpkin pie libation was spices. Staying true to RI, we sourced those spices locally from Spice Mill, located in Wakefield, RI. The mixture of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and cloves will ‘warm you up with a cold one,’ all fall and winter long!
- Pumpkan – Wachusett Brewing Co.
New England’s first pumpkin in a can. A blend of specialty malts, pumpkin puree, spices and Blonde Belgian Candi Sugar creates a deep orange color with subtle spice flavor. - Imperial Pumpkin Ale – Wachusett Brewing Co.
A generous amount of Two Row Barley is blended with Carmel Malt, Pumpkin, Belgian Candi Sugar, Vanilla, Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Ginger then fermented with our Northwest Yeast creating a profile as unique as every pumpkin in the patch. - Wilhelm Scream Pumpkin Ale- Magic Hat Brewing Co.
Wilhelm Scream is ripe with fall flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and caramel malts. Medium-bodied and the color of orange setting suns, it finishes similar to the way we finish summer: with just a hint of bitterness. - Pumpkin Ale – Long Trail Brewing Co.
When the nights grow cold and the moon hangs low, we carve out a space for Pumpkin Ale’s great return. Artfully brewed with all natural pumpkins, Pumpkin Ale features a slightly sweet finish from additions of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger that deliver a well-balanced brew reminiscent of grandma’s pumpkin pie. - Imperial Pumpkin- Long Trail Brewing Co.
This limited release, seasonal treat is small batch brewed with pumpkins, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves with increased malts and a touch of bitterness for the perfect balance.
- UFO Pumpkin – Harpoon Brewery
Imagine a pumpkin vine wound its way in a field of barley, and a brewer harvested it all to make a beer. Add Northwestern hops and a blend of spices, and you’ve got UFO Pumpkin. The malt combination provides a smooth body and slightly sweet flavor, which balances perfectly with the earthy notes derived from the pure pumpkin. And like all of our UFO beers, UFO Pumpkin is UnFiltered. - Imperial Pumpkin – Harpoon Brewery
Half imperial stout, half pumpkin ale, with aromas of dried fruit, chocolate, and freshly baked pumpkin pie, this black full-bodied stout is ready to be enjoyed now or saved for a chilly fall evening.
