Dogfish Head Punkin It's that time of year again! The pumpkin beers have arrived! First brewed back in 1994, Dogfish Head Punkin is one of the first pumpkin beers every created and the second to be mass produced.

Click Here to Let Head Brewer Florian Tell You All About Oachkatzlschwoaf. Your speakers aren't broken; he's speaking in German.

Oachkatzlschwoaf Oktoberfest Lager Looking for that authentic German experience in a bottle? Look no further than this extremely tasty but difficult to pronounce bier. This “export” style lager, brewed for Urban Chestnut's annual Oktoberfest celebration, is malty yet well balanced like the bier traditionally served at Oktoberfest in Munich. However, their Festbier has a tale/tail of its own–Oachkatzlschwoaf (pronounced “oh-khut-zel-schvoaf”) translated is “tail of a squirrel”…just a little Bavarian humor. Available In: 50L Barrels 6/4 NR Cases

Elysian Night Owl The newest addition to Zink's fall portfolio: Elysian Night Owl Pumpkin Ale! A very drinkable pumpkin ale—brewed with seven and a half pounds of pumpkin per barrel and spiced in conditioning with ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice. Available In: Half Barrels

Summit Oktoberfest Another fantastic expression of the Märzen/Oktoberfest-style arrives with Summit's Oktoberfest!  Brewed in the classic Märzen style with Northern Brewer hops from Germany. Rich, toffee malt flavors up front with a clean hop finish as crisp as the autumn air. Unfortunately, like the fall colors, this seasonal beer is gone before you know it. Available In: Half Barrels 4/6NR Cases
