Brewing Details

Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline Non-Alcohol Malt Beverage entry caps alcohol below 0.5% ABV (0.4% ABW), says these beers can emulate amber to dark styles and should not be penalized for lacking alcohol; the guideline page read did not include a separate specialty non-alcohol entry. The published 0.39% sits under that cap.

Research Notes

• Name differs: the GABF list prints "F*kin Pumpkin"; the brewery sells it as "F*k'in Pum'kin Ale". The brewery home page banner reads "GABF results are in! Silver for F*k'in Pum'kin and Bronze for New School."
• The page gives 0.39% ABV and separately says "Under 0.5% ABV"; 0.39 is used.
• Lactose is recorded as an adjunct because it appears in the ingredient list.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Field pass 2026-10-13: The matching Untappd listing gives N/A IBU and names no hops. It reports 0.4% ABV against the existing brewery 0.39%; the existing value is retained.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery product page lists ingredients (water, malted barley, pumpkin puree, lactose, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, allspice, ginger, yeast), a brown ale base, 0.39% ABV and tasting notes; it names no hop and no yeast strain.
• Brewery site scrape 2026-10-14: found nothing new; 8 pages tried (robots.txt obeyed, one request every few seconds per host).
• Second deep dive pass 2026-10-14 (brewery site; press quoting the brewery): found nothing new; 6 pages tried. Product page confirms existing values; no hops, IBU, yeast strain or process for this beer. Naperville Magazine describes a general Go Brewing shortened-fermentation approach, not stated for this beer, so it is not recorded. Second round: Naperville Magazine describes a general Go Brewing method of shortened fermentation that arrests alcohol formation, with head brewer James Bigler; it is brewery-wide, not stated for this beer, so not recorded. No pumpkin-specific release post, hops or yeast strain found; the distributor sheet page returned 429.
