SCOTTISH ALE WITH PUMPKIN

A pumpkin ale that bucks the trend.
Some might think we’re out of our gourd for making a pumpkin ale, but our Pumpkin Down is not like the others.  The caramel and toffee maltiness of our Piper Down Scottish ale is the perfect backdrop for a boatload of roasted pumpkin. Just before bottling, we add a subtle amount of spice to complement, but not overwhelm, the earthy flavor. It was a smash at the brewery, and we think you’ll agree.

Atomic Pumpkin

6.4% alcohol. 10 IBU. Introduced in 2017. Brewed by New Belgium.

"Enough with the run-of-the-mill pumpkin beers. I’m not interested in an ale that takes cues from a frozen coffee drink, and neither are you. That’s why I made Atomic Pumpkin. Does it really feature Habanero peppers? Yep! What about Saigon Cinnamon? Ding! I round it all out with a hearty malt bill that makes for a spicy brew that puts the “Fun” back in Pumpkin. (Spelling was never my strength). -- Voodoo Ranger."

Uncle Neville the Devil

7% alcohol. 62 IBU. Introduced in 2016. Brewed in Mississippi by Natchez Brewing.

"An American Red IPA named after a well-known local radio personality known for his devilishness. It has a dark red to amber color with a rich malty backbone supported by American hops that give it a floral aroma and grapefruit taste."

Karbachtoberfest

Every year in Munich a little party is thrown. If you've ever been, there are some things you may or may not remember: Lederhosen envy, oompah music, dirndls, and rolling down the hill. One thing you surely haven't forgotten is the extremely quaffable beer!

While you may not be able to attend Oktoberfest this year, you can experience the world's biggest beer festival right here with Karbachtoberfest! An authentic, Bavarian-style Marzen, decoction mashed with Vienna and Munich malts, cold fermented and aged for six weeks, this beer pairs well with pretzels and sausage, but it tastes mighty fine on it's own.

Love Street

4.9% alcohol. 20 IBU. Brewed in Texas by Karbach Brewing Company.

"In the 1960's on Allen's Landing sat Love Street; a hot spot of music and social impact. The venue hosted eclectic characters ranging from open mic'ers to the Lizard King himself. Love Street was not only a place, but a state of mind. A place to unwind and let the music refresh your soul.

Likewise, Love Street is a state of mind. Brewed in the Kolsch-style and hopped delicately with floral German hops, this beer boasts a clean malt profile that refreshes to the core, without sacrificing character. So crack one open and find your own Love Street."
