Brooklyn Breweries Post Road Pumpkin Ale is the best drink to kick off October! After doing some research, I found that, early colonists to America (George Washington was known to brew pumpkin beer), wanted to find alternative to brewing beer, something that was highly available in the colder months and would provide a richer flavor. Quickly, it was found out that pumpkins with their rich starches and sugars made the perfect brewing companion to beer. Because the fermentation process is not as long, the alcohol content on the beers tend to be lower, Post Road Pumpkin Ale hails a alc. of 5%. The beer is smooth and easily drinkable, quite crisp. It has a warm malty flavor that peaks with hints of pumpkin. It is not overtly sweet, but does pack a nice mix of spices.
