Urban Chestnut Count Orlok Black Pumpkin Ale Pumpkin beers are everywhere right now. Consumers are trying anything and everything they can get their hands on so why not give them something a little different. Nosferatu (Bird of Death) aka Count Orlok was THE German Count Dracula. He was a blood-sucking vampire…but being German he must’ve enjoyed beer too, right? Urban Chestnut believes it is so and thus have created a Black Pumpkin Wheat Ale in his honor…a “bier noir” if you will. Available Now In: 50L Barrels 6/4NR Cases
