If America's hearty pilgrims had developed advanced punk rock brewing techniques and had somehow managed to produce Thanksgiving type meals on a weekly basis, the Dogfish Head Punkin Ale would be the beverage of choice. Punkin Ale is a thick brown ale brewed with classic holiday spices such as brown sugar, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and of course the meat of pumpkin. Dogfish Head brews Punkin ale every fall to help the citizens of America warm up, get cozy, and survive the often stressful and consumption heavy holiday season. The brew is malty and toasty, it features hints of brown sugar, pumpkin and caramel, making it a perfect vessel for mental transportation into the holiday spirit. It seems unlikely that this brew would be craved with most meals due to it's undeniably holiday vibe, but paring the Punkin Ale with roasted duck, turkey, venison, or the pheasant you recently shot, would be an excellent choice. Buying several four-packs or even a case to save might make the holidays and family receptions just that much more bearable.
