Our fall seasonal, The Great Pumpkin is the pumpkin beer you spend the summer looking forward to: a robust amber ale to which we add a blend of pumpkin spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, and allspice) while it’s in the kettle. Dark brown sugar adds color and a little bit of dryness to the spicy ale. Look for it in bottles and on draft.
The Great’ER Pumpkin, the bourbon barrel-aged version of The Great Pumpkin. Our brewers wrangled fresh, just-emptied bourbon barrels from A. Smith Bowman Distillery in Virginia, then fill them with The Great Pumpkin, and let the beer age inside the barrel for three weeks–bringing out vanilla and oak notes. The Great’ER Pumpkin will come out in very limited supply, in bottles and on draft.

This is Southern Tier Pumking from start to finish in 2 minutes.
Samuel Adams Fat Jack has hit shelves. A new pumpkin offering by the Boston brewery.
This rich and luscious brew indulges in flavor with over 28Ibs of pumpkin per barrel, for a full bodied sweetness and deep russet color. Classic pumpkin pie spices of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice ignite a warmth and spark that’s deepened by an undercurrent of roasty smoked malts. The result is a delectable brew full of enveloping layers of flavor and spice.
At Samuel Adams we love experimenting.
