Pumpkin Conundrum


Okay, GPs...we have a bit of a conundrum to discuss with you all.

Dave and I came across a great article on recommended beers in the NY Times this week. Full of lots of new and interesting beers to try. So, what's the problem?, you ask.

Well, the first beer on their list is--get this--Jolly Pumpkin. Do we embrace this beer and try it since it's "pumpkin" or do we steer clear since it's "jolly"?

Now you see the source of our dilemma.

Also, just to make our decision even more difficult, the full name of the beer is "Jolly Pumpkin Oro de Calabaza." The Spanish sounding? name is sure to score extra points with many of the GPs.

So, let's hear it from you. None of us should try this beer without some discussion and clear consensus.

Your Sister/Cousin,

Sally

  1. I'm still confused.

    At first glance, this seems like a beer we should all go out and try. But, not if we have to be all "jolly" about it. You feel me.

    Maybe we should make some home brew and call it "Grumpy Pumpkin de la Orzo y Mancha"

  2. Arrggggg matey - why not be jolly? Nothing says a grumpy pumpkin doesn't have jolly moments.

    Andy why would Notorious want to call his beer "Grumpy Pumpkin of the Rice and Mancha"? What is Mancha? Beans?

    I say let's get it and try it. Arrrgggg - and if it's nasty, then "Sal" and "Notorious" get to walk the plank.....arrrggggg.....
