Mother's Brewing Squashed Chocolate Pumpkin Porter

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.

Mother’s Squashed Chocolate Pumpkin Porter is brewed with cocoa nibs, pumpkin pie spices, locally grown butternut squash and pumpkins and aged in rum barrels.

“Pumpkin beers are one of our favorites styles and we knew we wanted to add another one to our lineup,” said Jeff Schrag, Founder. “Squashed is complex and yet extremely balanced. 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.)
