Shipyard’s Smashed Pumpkin is a 9%’er, part of the Pugley’s Signature Series, and available in 22oz bombers. Weyerbacher’s Imperial Pumpkin is 8%, available in 12 oz bottles and draft with the new artwork seen below. I guess the season starts early this year.
Weyerbacher Sour Black Drops This Friday
Sour Black, Weyerbacher’s follow up to Rapture, arrives Friday. The beer is a black ale aged in pinot noir barrels, the same barrels used to age Rapture. The black ale base for this beer has never been released in any other form by Weyerbacher.
Flavor Expectations per Weyerbacher: Brettanomyces lambicus was added to the barrels adding a nice acidity. It’s fruity and tart with just enough roasted character; a truly delightful dark ale.
Style: Black Ale (Barrel Aged)
Availability: 750 ml bottles, Corked & caged. 350 cases produced
Arrival: 6/29/12, 4:30 pm. Brewery only. No distribution.
5% ABV (estimated)

Weyerbacher Seventeen, A Boozy Saison Ships
Weyerbacher Brewing has a little more info on Seventeen, now shipping.
Seventeen is a Saison Ale brewed with pink peppercorns, orange zest, lemon zest, and grapefruit zest. Brewed to the classic “Weyerbacher anniversary requirement” of a strength of 10% abv or more, Seventeen weighs in at a style-obliterating 10.5% abv. Seventeen releases subtle notes of fruit, berry and pepper upon pouring. You’ll notice a balanced sweetness with a touch of citrus and spice with a dry and peppery finish.
Seventeen is a once-and-done release only and will not be here for long! This style of beer should age very, very well. Be sure to get some before it’s gone!
Style: Saison
Availability: 12 oz bottles, Draft. One time brew.
Arrival: June, 2012
10.5% ABV (quite high for a saison)
