Fisherman's Pumpkin Stout

A slightly different take on pumpkin beer, Fisherman's Pumpkin Stout combines real Pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice for a stronger, heavier beer that’s perfect for a cold autumn evening. (ABV 7.0%)

Harpoon UFO Pumpkin

Slightly less popular but equally as awesome as it's Oktoberfest counterpart, UFO Pumpkin is a great beer for pumpkin lovers. The unfiltered pumpkin ale with a blend of spices provides a smooth body and slightly sweet flavor. (5.9% ABV)

Mayflower Autumn Ale
