The Pumpkin Porter is a big, bold, complex creation brewed to be malt forward with both dark and mild chocolate malts, caramel sweetness, Maris Otter biscuit, and Naked Golden Oats for an extra creamy body.  Roasted Pumpkins were added to the mash for aroma and organic canned pumpkin, vanilla beans and lots of spices were added to the boil for flavor.  Then we threw the fruity-spiciness of Belgian Farmhouse Ale yeast at it to pull it all together.   The result is a thick, strong, black porter that smells of chocolate and spice and finishes as your nose would lead you to believe, but after a bit of a sweet fruity start.

Teton Gravity Research’s new flick, Way of Life .  Skiing around the world.  ”For some, embracing the mountains is not just part of life—it’s a way of life. The search for snow shapes not only how they approach these peaks, but also how they approach the world. The bonds that form from this community transcend continents and cultures, transforming strangers into friends. After all, a smile on a powder day needs no translation.”  Want a fresh pair of skis?
