Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guidelines define Pumpkin Spice Beer as having pumpkin or squash character from very subtle to intense with spices present and in balance, at 5 to 35 IBU and 2.5 to 12 percent ABV. The published 5.1% ABV and 13 IBU fit both ranges, if the recipe is unchanged since 2014.

Research Notes

• The brewery website failed with a self signed certificate error, so no current brewery page could be read; beer url is null.
• ABV and IBU come from a 2014 trade release and may not match the 2026 batch.
• Conflict: a BeerAdvocate brewery list, seen only as a search snippet and not opened, shows a Pumpkin Ale at 5.4%; the 5.1% figure from the page actually read is used.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Field pass 2026-10-13: A working brewery domain was found through Memphis Beer Blog. Its Our Beer page names Pumpkin Ale in its award list, so the beer list is used as beer url because no dedicated page was found. Neither page names hop varieties.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: Beverage Industry's 2014 release item carries the company's description (mild pumpkin flavor with ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg) at 5.1% ABV and 13 IBU; no hop, malt or yeast is named.
• Brewery site scrape 2026-10-14: found nothing new; 3 pages tried (robots.txt obeyed, one request every few seconds per host).
• Second deep dive pass 2026-10-14 (brewery site, trade press): found nothing new; 2 pages tried. Trade press and brewery page only repeat the filled ABV 5.1, IBU 13 and spice description; no malts, hops, yeast or gravity published.
