It’s that time year once again when the leaves begin to change colors and thoughts of colder weather and the harvest come to the forefront. Here in Arizona very little of that is true, but we try to think positive and be excited those times are only a couple months away. To help kickoff the fall season it is time once again for our series of Pumpkin Beers Show! The 2014 edition will feature three parts with a total of five new beers and of course the returning champion, Pugsley’s Signature Series Smashed Pumpkin from Shipyard Brewing. We start part one today with the Wilhelm Scream Pumpkin Ale from Magic Hat Brewing and the KBC Pumpkin Ale from Trader Joe’s. As we have done for the past several years we will taste all of the beers including the previous years champion before deciding on which beer is victorious. The criteria is a bit loose, but we make our choice based on which of these beers makes the best use of not only pumpkin, but the incorporation of spices.
