It's that time of year - time for pumpkin beer!
I picked up a six pack of Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale this week.
Warning - this one goes down fast. Hide the car keys.
Though, the winner in this category, hands down (IMHO), has to be Cambridge Brewing Company's Great Pumpkin Ale - the best (and perhaps the only) reason I can think of right now to venture forth into the People's Republik.
Damn, but that's good stuff.

Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale is our homage to the craft and heritage of America's brewers. Recipes calling for the use of pumpkins in beer date back to early colonial times, when brewers sought to extend their supply of costly imported malt with locally grown ingredients, such as squash and "pompions."
In that spirit, we brew our ale with the addition of pumpkin to the mash, along with traditional spices to create a delicious American original.

Back by popular (and incessant) demand, CBC's most sought after seasonal beer, Great Pumpkin Ale flows from the taps all Autumn long. Brewed with over 125 pounds of fresh, locally grown, organic sugar pumpkins in each batch, it has an appropriately ruddy orange hue. The subtle pumpkin flavor is enhanced by the addition of traditional autumn spices, and is guaranteed to please even the most finicky of harvest-time ale fanatics. Come raise a glass in honor of the Great Pumpkin!
Damn, but that's good stuff.
