Craft beer fests are great, here is an example of one taking place November 7th in New York. Caitlin Colford of the Huffington Post got a chance to interview Jim Pickett, the NYC Craft Beer Festival's beer curator.
Sadly pumpkin beers are only available in the fall and since the NYC Craft Beer Fest is focusing on winter brews, will we still be able to sample pumpkin beers? Yes. For very selfish interests, if you must know. I love pumpkin beers and think they should be available at least until Thanksgiving -- if not Christmas. They are released way too early in my opinion. Because of that, we will include the best of what is still available in our offerings at NYC Winter Harvest Craft Beer Fest. Our plan is to have the best available fall and holiday / winter beers garnished by a few staples from year-round offerings.
I have to agree with this, I absolutely love pumpkin beers. My favorite being the one dogfish head makes. She asks him other questions, but this one made me instantly like Jim Pickett. At the craft beer festival I went to in Baltimore last Friday I was told by the dogfish head tent that "pumpkin beers are so September bro." Needless to say he did not win my affection.
