Pumpkinhead - Ale

The inspiration for this autumnal delight is Pumpkin Pete The legendary mascot of the Shipyard Brewing Company is an unbeatable genius at the table tennis table, a hero in the fight against nasty crimes, a connoisseur of fancy coffee specialties and a lover of pizza with lobster His favorite drink for all these illustrious activities is his own beer: the Pumpkinhead Ale

The seasonal beer specialty is brewed every year just in time for the golden autumn and enchants with an aromatic composition of pumpkin notes and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg The spicy wheat ale brings 4.5% alcohol content to the table and is brewed with three types of malt and the hop varieties Willamette and Saphir

Most beers are served plain and simple in a well-chilled glass or mug Garnishes have no place in beer Shipyards Pumpkinhead is a completely different story: For a special beer treat, the brewers (and Pumpkin Pete) recommend garnishing the glass with a rim of brown sugar and cinnamon This little extra emphasizes the warm spice of the pumpkin beer and complements the aromatics wonderfully If you want to top it all off, have a shot of spiced rum or vanilla vodka with it An absolute novelty for the Bavarian beer drinker, but we think it might be worth a try Wohl bekomm's!
