  • 5% Alcohol
  • 190 Calories
  • Aged with Chai Tea
  • Made by adding Pumpkin Mash into the Apple Press

  • Mango Colored- Very bright

Smashing Pumpkins Scale: 2.5 out of 5 Pumpkins

So, I love sweet, but this was a tad too much for my liking. Maybe I’m just used to a less sweet cider beer, but the addition of chai and other spices made it hard to fathom drinking more than one.

Smashed [Pumpkin] Scale: 4/5

  • Pumpkin-y
  • Hints of: Vanilla, Clove, Cinnamon, Nutmeg
  • 2 types of Hops
  • Low Bitterness
  • Med-Light Body

After I hit up the Williamsburg Schmorgesborg, I went to Brooklyn Alehouse where I ordered the pumpkin beer on tap: Southern Tier PUMPKING beer. I was ecstatic when the bartender asked if I would like a cinnamon sugar rim. This was something Bud’s in Astoria, Queens, used to do, unfortunately they closed down, so this was an amazing find on my part. Very happy. I have had the Pumpking before, and it never disappoints. If you like your beer a tad on the lighter side, with the hint of pumpkin, this should be your pick. Also a great for a pumpkin beer virgin.

Enjoy & As always, Drink RAEsponsibly!

This beer is BY FAR the best Pumpkin Beer I’ve ever had and it’s made in NY! With a cinnamon sugar rim, pumpkin-y taste and 9% alcohol content- it’s a WIN-WIN-WIN in my book!

Stop by & try it @ Bud’s Ale House in Astoria, Queens, NY. Hit me up & I will come meet you for this delicious beer!

P.S. Remember that it’s 9% alcohol… Drink RAEsponsibly! — Or have 5 like I did and a massive hangover the next day!

Either way, this beer was well worth it!
