Dogfish Head Punkin Ale

Pumpkin beers aren't for everyone, but I love 'em. And Punkin Ale is one of the beers that makes me look forward to fall. Clocking in at 7% ABV, its perfect in the slightly cooler, crisper nights of September. Hints of pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg and a slight sweetness from brown sugar give it a rich mouthfeel that pairs well with football and baseball games, relaxing after raking leaves, or just about anything fall-related. Beer Geek Factoid Bonus: For those who don't know, Punkin Ale gets its name from the annual Punkin Chunkin contest held in Delaware, near Dogfish Head's headquarters. The event-- hurling pumpkins for distance using medieval trebuchets and air cannons--is as off-centered as Dogfish Head.
