Sadly that also means that I don&#8217;t dig it.<\/p>\n<p>This beer does come in a regular 12oz size bottle so if you see it out, I say still give it a shot.\u00a0 It might be right up your alley and it&#8217;s always nice to try new beers.<\/p>\n<p>But for us, this one won&#8217;t be making a return visit.<\/p>\n<p>Check back next week to see what new pumpkin beer we&#8217;ll be talking about! <img src='\/images\/pumpkin.gif' alt=':pumpkin:' \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check out the first Pumpkin Beer review of 2013 here.
