COMING SOON: Southern Tier Pumking

I’ve probably said this before, but Southern Tier really has become one of my favorite breweries.  Even more exciting is that Southern Tier’s Imperial Pumking beer is coming to Atlanta.  Now it’s just my opinion, but Pumking is one of my favorite pumpkin beers on the east coast.  This beer is actually made with real pureed pumpkin.  Ingredients:

Hops: Sterling, Magnum

Malts: 2 Row Pale, Caramel,

Pureed Pumpkin

From the label:

“Pumking is an ode to Púca, a creature of Celtic folklore, who is both feared and respected by those who believe in it. Púca is said to waylay travelers throughout the night, tossing them on its back, and providing them the ride of their lives, from whichthey return forever changed! Brewed in the spirit of All Hallows Eve, a time of year when spirits can make contact with the physical world and when magic is most potent. Pour Pumking into a goblet and allow it’s alluring spirit to overflow. As spicy aromas present themselves, let its deep copper color entrance you as your journey into this mystical brew has just begun. As the first drops touch your tongue a magical spell will bewitch your taste buds making it difficult to escape. This beer is brewed with pagan spirit yet should be enjoyed responsibly.”
