Celebrating the abundance of local pumpkins in and around Half Moon Bay, Brewmaster James Costa has created an amber ale that features over 120 pounds of Sugar Pie pumpkins. Although the Pumpkin Harvest Ale will be available starting mid-September, guests are invited to come celebrate the release of this seasonal favorite at a special release party on September 25, with highlights of the Oktoberfest menu presented by Executive Chef Gaston Alfaro, and Oktoberfest music by Big Lou, the Accordion Princess.

The Mavericks Pumpkin Harvest Ale is an amber ale made with more than 120 pounds of locally-grown, roasted and spiced Sugar Pie pumpkins which are added to the brew kettle, resulting in a subtle pumpkin pie flavor balanced by a biscuit maltiness. The Pumpkin Harvest Ale will be available September through November at the Half Moon Bay Brewing Company. Alcohol by volume is 5.5%.
