The Terrapin Beer Company has confirmed they’re releasing their Pumpkinfest this fall, for the third year in a row. Originally released in 2008 as part of their Side Project Series, it appears it has now made a place in it’s seasonal rotation as a fall beer. The availability will only run from September through November and marks a place for Terrapin in the popular Pumpkin-style beers.

From Terrapin’s website:

Too many beers… too little time. I have always wanted to brew a traditional Octoberfest for the Fall season, but it seems that these darn pumpkin beers are all the rage right now. So… keeping up with Terrapin’s out of the box brewing tradition, I have decided to brew a beer that combines both of these delicious brewing styles. “Pumpkinfest” is a traditional Octoberfest brewed with over 1 pound of pumpkin per barrel along with pumpkin spices. All of the malt of a German Fest beer and all the spice of Grandma’s pumpkin pie!

The Pumpkinfest is made with some delicious spices: cinnamon, ginger, all spice and cloves, as well as well as a plethora of malts: Munich, Vienna, Munich II, Catamunich II, Melanoiden. Coupled with Vanguard and Hallertau Hershrucker hops, this beer comes in at 6.10% ABV and will be perfect for the fall.
