Portsmouth, N.H<\/strong>., Aug. 13, 2012 \u2013 It\u2019s true, summer is nearly over, which means that fall is about to begin.

Redhook\u2019s Pumpkin Porter pays tribute to the season and he\u2019s stoked to release it as the fifth beer in his Brewery Backyard Series.<\/p>\n

The dark chestnut brown beer is made with pureed pumpkin, along with light chocolate, Munich, and caramel malts, roasted wheat, oats, and locally malted barley. Cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger are also added during the brewing process, and maple syrup is added to the brew during fermentation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a lot of fun with this brew,\u201d said Alex Kopf, Redhook senior brewer. \u201cWe wanted to make a great porter and added traditional fall flavors \u2013 pumpkin, chocolate, maple syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg \u2013 to put a little Redhook twist on the style. Lightly hopped with Northern Brewer hops, Pumpkin Porter is a full-bodied, rich and roasty porter perfect for all things fall \u2013 eating turkey, watching football or drinking with your buddies around a bonfire.\u201d<\/p>\n
