You swore that this year would be different -- you would plan ahead for the family ski trip. Bags are packed, the car is loaded up, and you’ve prepped and cellared a bottle of Copper Kettle’s Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Pumpkin Porter to get you through the (very) long weekend.

Don’t let the Pumpkin haters get you down -- the rich, boozy strength of this 9.1% ABV Dark Beer is built for the looming colder weather. Autumn can’t contain this pumpkin!

You’ll sled down the allspice mountain with aromas of cinnamon and nutmeg, but the Porter’s dark, roasty body built on Dark Chocolate Malt will keep you warm as you kick back in the lodge. The oaky-vanilla kick of Bourbon Barrel-Aging makes this the perfect sipper to share with your whiskey-loving grandma.

While your parents sip their cider and your cousin flirts with the ski instructor, this boozy brew will keep you coasting down fresh powder and carefree of the family drama. Cheers to Copper Kettle for this bourbon-kissed, winter-ready Pumpkin Porter!

*Best enjoyed sipped from a Thermos at the top of the summit.
