Today’s second “Beer to Drink While Posting” is:
Great Divide (Colo.) Brewing Co.
Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout
I spied the leaves beginning to turn as I drove home in western Vermont yesterday. That means it’s time to bring out the pumpkin beer review.
Last Fall, I drank as many pumpkins as I could find for a newspaper article. I will post it shortly
I have already started up again this year, having the Southampton pumpkin on tap at The Local in Saratoga Springs and bringing home a four-pack of the Dogfish Head version. The Southampton was a touch light, and the Dogfish was consistently good. I also picked up something new during the Vermont trip, Wolaver’s Certified Organic Will Stevens’ Pumpkin Ale, which is named after the guy who grows the pumpkins.
The Wolaver’s is brewed by Otter Creek in Middlebury, Vt., and I have not tried as many of the beers as I should have. This one I liked because it was more of a real “pumpkin” beer, rather than a spiced beer with pumpkins. The Dogfish Punkin Ale takes a chance and uses cinnamon, which sometimes does not translate well in the brewing process, and this is one of those cases.
