The fifth beer in the Unchained Series will be from brewer Nate Siats and is indeed an Imperial Pumpkin Porter.  Nate is a big fan of pumpkins and wants to do this up right, starting with where the pumpkins come from.  The  small, local, organic farm that is providing the pumpkins just so happens to be owned by Charles Jones, one of the strong fellas who work on our keg line!  Nate’s desired flavor profile in his own words- A dark, chocolaty, full bodied beer with a slight bitter after taste. Evenly spiced with a hint of pumpkin, you would think you were sitting down for thanksgiving dessert.  Perfect for a cool, fall afternoon.

We are shooting for the week of October 25 for a release date.  Yes, later than most of the other pumpkin beers out there, but his won’t be the more common ale style that you usually see.  He envisions this as a great big holiday beer to share with friends and family.
