What Pumpkin Ales are sold in Western Massachusetts?

Question

I'm trying to figure out what breweries sell Pumpkin Ale in package stores in Western Mass around Autumn/Halloween time. Planning in advance!

Answer 1

Hi there.  Not sure which pumpkins are available for packaging.  According to Ratebeer.com, the following pumpkin ales are brewed in Massachusetts:

Beerworks Pumpkinhead Ale

Cambridge Great Pumpkin Ale

Cape Anne's Fisherman Pumpkin Stout

Northampton Pumpkin Ale

Stone Kat Pumpkin Ale

The Tap Srybnys Pumpkin Patch Ale

Watch City Pie-Eyed Pumpkin Ale

I have to admit, I live in Michigan and I haven't heard of any of these beers.  I found them doing an Advanced Search on Ratebeer.com.  There may be many more available, based on distribution in your state.  Sorry I can't be of more help.  But, hopefully, this gets you started.  I would highly recommend ratebeer.com or the beeradvocate.com to do some searching of your own.

I love pumpkin ale.  Good luck!
