The artwork is complete, as is the beer description (somewhere between nostalgic, and perverted).  Look for it on tap and 22 oz bottles later this year.

Terrapin Pumpkinfest 2012 Ships

Terrapin Pumpkinfest is now shipping. 2012 marks the 4th year of this beer.P-fest is actually a fusion of two styles – oktoberfest and pumpkin.

I have always wanted to brew a traditional Octoberfest for the Fall season, but it seems that these darn pumpkin beers are all the rage right now. So… keeping up with Terrapin’s out of the box brewing tradition, I have decided to brew a beer that combines both of these delicious brewing styles. “Pumpkinfest” is a traditional Octoberfest brewed with over 1 pound of pumpkin per barrel along with pumpkin spices.

All of the malt of a German Fest beer and all the spice of Grandma’s pumpkin pie! Eat it up! Spike

Style: Pumpkin Beer
Hops: Vanguard, Hallertau Hershrucker
Malts: Munich, Vienna, Munich II, Catamunich II, Melanoiden
Spices: Cinnamon, Ginger, All Spice, Cloves PUMPKIN!
