A full-bodied brown ale with smooth hints of pumpkin and brown sugar. We brew our Punkin Ale with pumpkin meat, brown sugar and spices. As the season cools, this is the perfect beer to warm up with.

Our Pumpkin Ale recipe uses REAL Pumpkins from a sustainable farm, Stahlbush Island Farm. Along with 3,000 pounds of real pumpkin, we also use cinnamon, allspice, cloves, ginger to spice and flavor this beauty. It doesn’t get more authentic than that!

Early American colonists, seeking natural ingredients for brewing ales, turned to pumpkins, which were plentiful, flavorful and nutritious. Blended with barley malt, pumpkins became a commonly used beer ingredient. Post Road Pumpkin Ale brings back this tasty tradition. Hundreds of pounds of pumpkins are blended into the mash of each batch, creating a beer with an orange amber color, warm pumpkin aroma, biscuity malt center, and crisp finish.

For those who enjoy Chai tea, you’ll recognize the distinct clove and cardamom spicing, paired with a traditional pumpkin spice blend. The brew is finished with a delicate amount of natural black tea extract creating a herbal essence in the aroma. Tea is sometimes enjoyed with milk or cream to cut through any astringency the spices and tea may leave. Lactose works well to fill that role by leaving a pleasant amount of residual sweetness and enhanced malt character. We add pumpkin puree to the mash that includes Crystal, Munich, and Vienna malts creating an authentic pumpkin profile.
