It has finally come to that time of year. We are starting to get some cooler weather, the leaves are starting to change color and drop, and all the good fruits and vegetables in the gardens are starting to get picked. This means a couple of things. 43days until Thanksgiving and 19 days until Halloween. Why did I pick these two holidays? Pumpkin pies. And what goes better with pumpkin pie than pumpkin beer. If you have yet to discovery these masterfully created concoctions, do not fret, that what we are here for. This week is Pumpkin Beer week at Kelley’s, so come on by and sample our selection. We will have offerings from Smuttynose, Weyerbacher, Blue Point, Blue Moon, Tommyknocker, and Southern Tier for drinking pleasure. The Southern Tier Pumking is the highlight beer for the week, and for good reason. This smooth, copper color ale hails from New York and delivers everything you would hope for and expect from a pumpkin ale. It smells of pumpkin, nutmeg and gingerbread and delivers the same tastes you would expect from liquid pumpkin pie. It goes down almost too easily, but that is ok since it comes in a 22oz bottle. But Southern Tier did remember to include the “trick” in this beer for “Trick or Treat.” The trick, it packs an 8.6 ABV, so be forewarned. All in all, this kingly pumpkin ale packs everything you would hope for and expect from a well-executed beer, and will make you crave pumpkin pie long before Thanksgiving. So come on by any of our locations and pick yourself up your favorite pumpkin beer, or create your own six pick and bring them all home. Cheers!
