Troegs Master of Pumpkins 2013

Shoot the messenger!

 

CLEV-ER, CLEV-ER!
Your clever post has caused me to scream!

And yes, the beer looks tasty.

 

Mas-ter Mas-ter

 

When does this come out?

 

They just picked up the pumpkins yesterday, so not for a couple of weeks at least.

 

thanks

 

I live in Pa, will probably make a road trip to Hershey for a growler or 2.

 

Update:

Master of Pumpkins
After the success of last year’s Scratch #79 – Pumpkin Ale, we simply couldn’t resist releasing a pumpkin beer this fall. With the recent acquisition of our cork & cage bottling line, we thought this would be the perfect time to package this delicious fall treat in the same 750mL bottles we traditionally have filled with our Splinter beers. Brewed with native Pennsylvania neck pumpkins harvested just a few miles from our brewery at Strites’ Orchard, Master of Pumpkins conjures the spirit of autumn by combining roasted pumpkins and traditional pie spices with a French saison yeast. This natural fermentation releases a palate of vanilla, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger, and honey. Master of Pumpkins will be available by late October-early November in 750mL corked and caged bottles only at Tröegs Brewery. Taste it you will see, more is all you need!

 

Looks like I'm finally going to visit Tröegs!

 

I didn't know they were bottling it. Awesome news. I don't think they bottled it last year (I could be wrong). Assuming this is more or less identical to the one they brewed last year, it should be great. That was one of the better pumpkin beers I've had.

 

Where's the dreams that I've been after?

Troegs is promising me only lies!

Actually, on a similar note, doesn't the Nuggett Nectar bottle label look almost identical to the artwork on St. Anger cover? Same artist perhaps?

 

2.5 hours for me... may make the drive...

No bottles last year just on draft at the brewery. Apparently they sold out in record time.

 

That's what I thought, though I couldn't remember for sure. I just remember it being damn good last year.
