A full-bodied brown ale with smooth hints of pumpkin and brown sugar. Punkin Ale is brewed with pumpkin meat, organic brown sugar and spices. This is the perfect beer to warm-up with, as the season cools.
Punkin Ale is named after a locally-famous and seriously off-centered event in southern Delaware.
In fact, Punkin Ale made it's debut as it claimed First Prize in the 1994 Punkin Chunkin Recipe Contest. Punkin Chunkin has grown in size and scale with pumpkins now being hurled more than 4,000 feet through the air!
It is released right around September first each year. When you find it, grab some extra because it's usually gone by Thanksgiving.
