Another Abbreviation: short for Oh MY Gourd since this is a pumpkin spice ale. Also: the release date is the official (I think, im not looking it up again) release date of Pumpkin Spice Flavoring at Starbucks. Gotta have those PSLs!

2-Row, Malted Rye, Flaked oats, and Dextrin Malt

Hops

Galaxy

Other

House made, and toasted pumpkin spice blend (Cinnamon, All Spice, nutmeg, and cloves)

The Fun Facts

There’s actually not much in the way of a style for an autumn ale, its pretty much any beer you want to make and release in autumn but traditionally this “style” of beers is more malt centric (less hoppy) and, as we have done, has some additional fall flavoring added in.

The Pairings

Chili, shepherd's pie, turkey/apple/brie sandwich, cranberry/walnut salad, chicken Alfredo, or mashed potatoes.
