Fify...;)

And don't forget there is a difference between a Shandy and a Radler. One means to ruin beer. The other means to ruin lemonade. (You choose which is which)

It set a record. They raised their $30,000 in 35 hours. Best of any brewery on kickstarter. The record for the most money by a brewery on kickstarter is $66,000. Braxton still has 27 days to break that.

One of the head brewers is Richard Dube. He was the head brewer at Christian Morelein.

I really loved that Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin when I had it but haven't been able to find it since.

This stuff is ok. 8% makes up for it. Ok flavor, but I like heavy spices in a pumpkin beer. Will finish the eve. with a Warlock.

Agreed. That beer is the definition of meh. Mediocre brown ale, mediocre pumpkin. It should just stop.

Only thing it has going for it is 7% ABV

Yeah, honestly, if they just pitched it as something else, it might actually come across as better. The pumpkin element is so flacid, you might as well not advertise it as a pumpkin ale at all.

Two pumpkin beers I decided to try.



The Pumpkick has a more subtle pumpkin flavor with a hint of cranberry at the end. The Mudshark Peaceful Pumpkin has more of a pumpkin taste but still not too overwhelming. I'm a fan of both

Had the Curious Traveler Shandy. It tasted like nonsense. But it had alcohol in it.

REALLY good. Not as sharp as Fitzgerald, a lot more smooth. Damn good.

Had a 14 Stone IRS tonight. First time having since it was released. I got more roasty coffee out of it with some age, and less Chocolate then fresh. Awesome beer. Would/will bang again.
