Carry Out
From Eric at 21st Amendment Liquors in Broad Ripple:
Over the next month or so, as the weather continues to cool, there's nothing I like more than a well made pumpkin ale. Of all the pumpkin ales we have on our shelves, my two favorites are the Dogfish Head Punk'n and the Schlafly Pumpkin. Both of these beers give you the brewers take on what pumpkin pie in a glass tastes like.From Jeremy at Big Red Liquors (E. 3rd St., Bloomington):
Dogfish Head has also supplied us with a single case of Burton Baton. The Burton is an oak-aged Imperial IPA. It's smooth and balanced enough to drink right now, but further aging will help bring out new levels of flavors.
In addition to those wonderful beers, we've got an extensive collection of Oktoberfests and Pumpkin Ales ready to go for you!
