Meet Terrapin Imperial Pumpkin Porter [VIDEO]
Terrapin Beer Co. (Athens, GA) is ready to ship their 3rd release in the Special Reserve Series, Imperial Pumpkin Porter.
A departure from the brewery’s other pumpkin offering, Pumpkinfest, Imperial Pumpkin Porter starts with a porter beer as a base. From there, the beer is then nuanced with a plethora of spices – nutmeg, clove, ginger, and of course, pumpkin. The result is what “Spike” calls, luscious.
Terrapin Imperial Pumpkin Porter follows inaugural release White Chocolate Moo-Hoo, and Cinnamon Roll’d W-n-B. In the video above, Spike discloses the next two offerings, MooHoo-ciato (chocolate milk porter with coffee), and French Toast Wake n Bake. (Think breakfast.) Those two will round out the Special Reserve Series in 2014.
There are about 10,000 bottles of Imperial Pumpkin Porter headed into the wild. Be on the lookout starting this week.

Fall: Leinenkugel Harvest Patch Shandy
Leinenkugel’s has made a big name for themselves in the shandy market. The beer meets lemonade offering has done very well for the brewery – more than 60% of their sales, despite a full portfolio of other offerings.

Thus, Leinenkugel Harvest Shandy. The brewery is combing a the flavors of a wheat based beer, citrus, allspice, clove, and nutmeg.
