A Note on This Beer
The Colorado brewers at 4 Noses have strong opinions about Pumpkin Ales: they think most of them suck. Setting out to correct the problem, they went to Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin-sized proportions and added a massive 10 lbs-per-barrel of real pumpkins in their Pump Action Imperial Pumpkin Ale.
What happened next? The craft world hoisted them on their shoulders, awarding Pump Action Gold at both GABF and the World Beer Cup for best Pumpkin Ale on the planet.
Like 4 Noses, maybe you’re a bit leery. Maybe you think that once you’ve tried a few pumpkin beers brewed with cinnamon, cloves and allspice -- you’ve tried them all. You’re wondering what difference using 10 lbs-per-barrel of real pumpkins actually makes. Taste the difference in Pump Action: those other beers are like “10% real juice kids’ drinks” compared to the creamy-bodied, pumpkin pie-bolstered sensation you get from drinking today’s beer.
4 Nose’s created today’s Pump Action with one goal in mind: serve it to skeptics that say they “don’t like pumpkin beer” and watch as its pie-like flavors make them say “except for this one, yum!”
