OUR TASTING SCHEDULE
Tonight is BEER NIGHT!!! 4:00 - 8:00 pm
Pumpkin Ale
Our list of the best pumpkin beers will satisfy true seasonal enthusiasts.
It ranges from classic spiced amber ales to creamy coffee stouts.
"The return of fall means many different things. For some, it means that their yards will soon have a blanket of yellow, orange, and brown leaves.
It means the temperatures are growing colder and the days are getting shorter.
It also means the return of one of the most seasonally specific beers: the pumpkin ale.
They hit the store shelves in September (sometimes appearing in the midst of the August heat).
Then they’re gone like a ghostly phantom in the night by Thanksgiving.
If it seems like pumpkin beer is a rather recent phenomenon, it’s not. When European settlers first came to North America, wheat and barley were hard-to-come-by ingredients. If you had any, you were more likely to make bread than alcohol. In place of grains and malt, native pumpkins became an important ingredient in beer. There’s even a recipe that dates back to 1771 for ‘pompion’ ale.
In the case of this particular recipe, the writer wrote that due to a “twang,” you might want to wait a couple years after bottling to drink it."

Over recent months, Austrian wines have continued to outshine competition from around the world.
In international trade magazines and at renowned wine competitions,
they have been picking up enthusiastic votes, top ratings, gold medals and coveted trophies.
Every year, the International Wine Challenge (IWC) in England announces the best wines and winegrowers in the world. This year was another very successful one for Austria. Of the 120 wines tasted, 66 received at least 90 points and 12 were awarded 95 points or more.
Shortly before the IWC awards, the trade magazine Decanter published the results of its World Wine Awards in which they tasted over 18,000 wines from around the world. 184 of these wines came from Austria; 15 of them were awarded 95 points or more; five wines even received 97 points.
Two Austrian victories deserve special mention here. Despite the comparatively low number of Austrian submissions, two wines ranked among the 50 Best in Show – the Grüner Veltliner Ried Kammerner Lamm “1ÖTW” 2020 from the Birgit Eichinger winery and the Riesling Ried Pfaffenberg “1ÖTW”’ 2019 from the Salomon estate.
