Pumpkin Beer Brewed in Upstate New York Named Among Best in America
Once again, a pumpkin-flavored beer brewed in Upstate New York has been named among the best in America.
Last year, there were two representatives from Upstate on the USA Today 10Best Readers Poll of the best pumpkin beers in the country. Lake Placid Pub and Brewery's Autumn Rye was ranked 5th, while Southern Tier Brewing Company's Pumking Imperial Ale was ranked 9th.
A huge congratulations goes out to the folks at Southern Tier, as the Pumking is once again ranked as one of the best pumpkin beers in America in 2024!
Not only that, but Pumking was ranked higher in 2024 compared to 2023. The delicious pumpkin ale was ranked 6th on this year's USA Today's list of the ten best of its kind in America.
On the Pumking Imperial Ale, USA Today said the following:
"This deep copper Munich malt features the aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and allspice, and it's basically pumpkin pie in a glass." - USA Today 10Best Readers Poll
