"Portland's master of barrel-aged sours treats its beers with the care of wine, with bottle-aging transforming different vintages of its more coveted beers. And Pumpkin Smash is certainly coveted: it's a blend of the brewery's blond and quad ales that sits in bourbon and brandy barrels for up to two years, chilling with a bunch of pumpkin from a local farm. The result is a complex beer, with layers of sour and spice and more that just keep transforming over time. This is a special-occasion beer. But as "special occasion" is a relative term, that means it's as good at Thanksgiving as it is carving pumpkins on a Tuesday morning."
