Gritty McDuffs . Halloween Ale
Gritty’s Halloween Ale is BACK
#beer, @grittys
As we enter august, the fall beer releases are fast approaching — and some are already here. Gritty McDuff’s mentioned, in their recent newsletter, that the HALLOWEEN ALE IS COMING! Be afraid, be very afraid of running out of Gritty’s cult beer classic, Halloween Ale. Stock-up NOW!
Unlike their headless horseman neighbor, the Halloween Ale is NOT a pumpkin ale. The Halloween Ale IS an ESB.
Here are the details:
Every fall marks the return of our legendary Extra Special Bitter for the season, Halloween Ale – the beer so good, it’s scary! From its humble beginnings in 1990 as a small-batch seasonal in our Portland Brew Pub, Halloween Ale has grown to be one of the year’s most anticipated beer releases. This robust brew has a deep amber color, a bold, malty palate and a well-rounded hop finish. The perfect beer for a crisp autumn day!
Halloween Ale is available in ominous six-packs, and on draft at frightening establishments all over the terrifying state of Maine. Be afraid, be very afraid…of running out!
Starting Gravity: 1060
Hops: Whitbread Goldings, East Kent Goldings, B.C. Kent
Availability: 6 and 12-packs, 22 oz bottles, mini-kegs and draft, September-November

They have also changed their packaging – what do you think? (I like the former logo.)
