If you are Avery's Rumpkin Ale, you defy any category. This Imperial Pumpkin Ale is brewed with pumpkin puree and a blend of five spices, and is aged in fresh Gosling's Rum barrels for six months. Rumpkin is currently on tap at The Avery Tap Room in Boulder and truly is God's gift to Fall. Trouble is, the only places you can find it are The Kitchen in Boulder or at the brewery itself as it is a draft only release available for a limited time. Visit the Tap Room at Avery any night of the week to savor the stuff while it lasts.
Those outside of Colorado can track down Rumpkin at the Cambridge Brewing Company Great Pumpkin Festival (Cambridge, MA) and at the Elysian Brewing Great Pumpkin Beer Festival (Elysian Capitol Hill, Seattle WA). Avery says that kegs of Rumpkin will also be made available at a select few beer bars nationwide.
You better just have one ten ounce glass as the alcohol content is 13.2%. Pure gold.
