Flying Dog The Gourd Standard: Hops Meet Pumpkin

Flying Dog The Gourd Standard, a hoppy pumpkin offering on the horizon from the Frederick, Maryland brewery.

As you can gleen from the label, the base beer is an India pale ale, brewed with pumpkin puree and mix of spices.

I know it’s cheesy, but I feel grate about tonight. We just have to keep in mind that if the clock gets hungry, it will go back four seconds, but the bike can’t can’t stand alone because it’s two-tired. My one friend used to be addicted to soap, but he’s clean now. And whatever the banana wears better be appealing. Seriously, this is going to be the gourd standard at parties.

Flying Dog The Gourd Standard will be available in 12oz bottles. The brewery has not yet announced this offering.

Style: IPA (w/ Pumpkin. Spices.)
Availability: 12oz Bottles, Draft.
Release: TBA

Rogue Pumpkin Savior Ale, Spring 2015

Rogue Farms had a bountiful pumpkin harvest this year. Some of those pumpkins are used in Rogue Pumpkin Patch Ale. With the excess pumpkins, Rogue frozen the gourds whole, and is creating Pumpkin Savior Ale.

Rogue Pumpkin Savior Ale is a witbier, brewed with fifteen ingredients, including cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla beans, and cloves.

Created with pumpkins grown at rogue farms in Independence, Oregon. This year we had an abundant harvest that left us with extra pumpkins after we brewer  pumpkin patch ale. So rather than let our precious pumpkins rot in the field we decided to save them by freezing them whole and brewing a spring pumpkin wit.

Rogue Pumpkin Savior Ale will be available of 750ml bottles in Spring, 2015.

Style: WItbier (w/ Pumpkin, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Vanilla, Ginger, Cloves)
Availability: 750ml bottles

Mother’s Squashed Chocolate Pumpkin Porter, Year 2

Mothers Brewing (Springfield, MO) Squashed Chocolate Pumpkin Porter is back for a second year. What started as an experiment (Thing 1 & Thing 2 Series) prompted Mother’s to promote the beer to seasonal. Another boozy round cometh.

The flavor really compliments the weather as we move further into the fall season and people enjoy outdoor fall activities like bonfires, barbeques, and camping. We’re excited to get this beer out into the market again for our fans to enjoy.”

Squashed Chocolate Pumpkin Porter is available in 22oz bottles and draft.

Style: Porter (w/ Chocolate, Butternut Squash, Spices. Partially Barrel Aged. Rum.)
