It’s Pumpkin Time! (Grandma SueAnn and Amy Review Zombies and Double Zombies are People Too and Braaaiins!) https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/09/10/its-pumpkin-time-grandma-sueann-and-amy-review-zombies-and-double-zombies-are-people-too-and-braaaiins/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=its-pumpkin-time-grandma-sueann-and-amy-review-zombies-and-double-zombies-are-people-too-and-braaaiins Tue, 10 Sep 2024 13:44:58 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=15499  

It’s Pumpkin Time!

So…. a couple leaves have changed color on the tree in our front yard.  So…. it’s technically not too early, right?  I can talk about pumpkin spice now?  They were the first ones I saw in the store and I had to grab a couple for me and Grandma SueAnn to enjoy.   (See: A Beer Review by Grandma SueAnn [Beer Review: Braaaiins! by Spring House Brewing Company].)

We were shopping at the local Weiss and I saw it on an end-cap and I had to have it.  Braaaiins by Spring House Brewing Company.  I grabbed the 4pack with the approving nod from the boyfriend.  I could hardly wait long enough for them to chill.  Grandma SueAnn was in agreement; kicking our pumpkin beer drinking season off with a loved classic was the way to go. The first pumpkin beer of the year, near end of August, and I had to grab it!

Braaaiins! by Spring House Brewing

Once chilled this pumpkin ale is the perfect beer to kick off Autumn with.  It is described on Untapped as “our pumpkin ale is brewed with generous amounts of real pumpkin blended into the mash.  The subtle fresh pumpkin flavor is enhanced by the addition of a touch of traditional autumn spices and sweet dough, thus creating a beer with an orange amber color, warm pumpkin aroma, a bold malt center and a crisp finish.  We are proud to offer you a balanced and delectable fall treat.  Suitable for zombies.”  It has an 8.5% ABV so I isn’t anything to mess around with.  It has an overall rating on Untapped of 3.70.

Zombies are People Too by New Trail Brewing

On another occasion we swung into West Connection Beer Vault in Hummelstown (find West Connection Beer Vault on Facebook).  Amongst the mix of six we picked out were two from New Trail Brewing. (We also scored a fantastic Barleywine by 3 Floyds Brewing – Pillar of Beasts. See Ben’s beer review of that here: Beer Review: Pillar of Beasts by 3 Floyds Brewing.)

 

Zombies Are People Too and Double Zombies, two pumpkin beers from the mid – Central PA brewery up in Williamsport. They clock in at a 5.7%ABV and an 8.5% ABV respectively. My first instinct was to see if Grandma SueAnn could tell the difference between the two New Trail pumpkin beers. (Because who better to try out new pumpkin beers with than Grandma SueAnn?) Yes, the Double Zombies has a higher ABV but Double Zombies is also supposed to be packed with, according to Untapped “twice the strength, maple syrup, vanilla, and pumpkin spice.”  Grandma SueAnn thought she tasted just a bit more spice to Double Zombies but she happily helped me drink both pumpkin beers.

Overall though we enjoyed both of the New Trail pumpkin options. In the mid-state (Harrisburg area) you can find them at your different beer distributors and bottle shops like Breski’s Beverages, West Connection Beer Vault, Brass Rail, Bradford Village Beer and Soda, as well as at your grocery stores like Wegmans, Weiss, and Giant. You might even be able to find them in some gas stations like Rutters, WaWa, or Sheetz. So be on the lookout and the hunt!

Check out our Instagram post about the pumpkin beers: Pumpkin Beers on The Beer Thrillers @ Instagram. (And be sure to follow us on Instagram at: https://instagram.com/the_beer_thrillers).

Both are wonderful beers for this time of year and will definitely get you into that fall and pumpkin season feeling!

Jackass Brewing Adding Williamsport Location in 2024 https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/11/13/jackass-brewing-adding-williamsport-location-in-2024/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=jackass-brewing-adding-williamsport-location-in-2024 Mon, 13 Nov 2023 17:19:07 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=13085 Jackass Brewing Expanding to Williamsport

The Lewisburg brewery has teased and now announced that they will be adding a second location in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

The Northcentral PA group that first teased and showed the above picture, released a report that then Jackass Brewing corroborated and shows that they are indeed expanding into Williamsport. The Northcentral PA report can be found here: Northcentral PA Report – Williamsport.

The new brewery location will be at 301 W. Third Street in Williamsport. This puts them just seven minutes away from New Trail Brewing, and just two minutes away from Bullfrog Brewery.

Williamsport Pennsylvania is quickly becoming a brewery destination spot – with New Trail Brewing, Bullfrog Brewery, Boom City Brewing, Rosko’s Brewhouse, Riepistine’s Brewpub, Therapy Brewing, and now Jackass Brewery. Excluding Therapy Brewing – in nearby Montoursville – all of the other breweries are located in Williamsport and are within a total driving distance of 18 minutes (stopping at each spot). With Therapy Brewing added to the mix it comes out to 41 minutes. You can see a map of these breweries – including the new Jackass Brewery – here:

Jackass Brewing Company

Jackass Brewery opened in March of 2020. Started by home brewers Larry Winans and Skip Kratzer. They quickly became a popular destination spot in Lewisburg PA. Their spot in Lewisburg is a 7 BBL brewery.

The following comes from Untappd:

Jackass Brewing Company is a micro brewery from Lewisburg, PA. They have 97 unique beers and over 12,000 ratings for a global average rating of 3.7 (as of 11.13.23). Their Untappd description is blank.

You can find them on the following social media sites:
