Pumpkinator 2013

Around these parts, Pumpkinator is kind of a big deal. It’s made by Saint Arnold Brewing Company – a local Houston brewery. They have pretty rad tours and lunches, too.

The folks over at Saint Arnold put out a single batch of Pumpkinator each year….and that’s it. Bars run out quickly, grocery stores run out even faster.

I finally got my hands on the last two bottles [at a particular Spec’s Liquor Store] after many, many phone calls on day two of it’s 2013 release. I only drank half, gave the other half to Daniel, and am saving bottle #2 for a special occasion. Maybe Daniel’s birthday next week?

Below is my opinion. Nothing fancy…just me…ranting for a couple minutes. And possibly feeling the effects. hahaha 🙂

Here’s a little bit of interesting “history & trivia” [lifted straight off the website!]:
Debuted October 2011.

–>In the time it took to make the 154 bbls of Pumpkinator wort in our brewhouse, we could have made 1275 bbls of Elissa wort.

–>The amount of malt it took to make 154 bbls of Pumpkinator wort would have made 1514 bbl of Lawnmower wort.

–>During the time in the fermenter it took to age the 154 bbls of Pumpkinator, we could have made 1027 bbls of Amber Ale.

–>With the amount of pumpkin used to make Pumpkinator, we could have baked 437 pumpkin pies.
