Catchin' the Fall Buzz!
After the brutally hot end of summer we had here in Portland, I am anxiously awaiting the fall. I love being able to walk on an uncrowded beach, watching the leaves change, and perhaps most of all I love Shipyard’s Pumpkinhead ale. Though my final semester at USM and my time spent working afford me less time than I would like to be out on the town, I have heard that Pumpkinhead taps have been springing up as the seasonal beer at a couple local pubs. Even lacking some needed pub time with friends, I still manage to swing by Hannaford and snag a twelve-pack of this delicious pumpkin-pie-in-a-bottle brew! This has definitely become the symbol of a changing season for me in Portland.
I know that fall is nearly here
when I taste pumpkins in my beer.
