The fall weather is definitely here and clearly noted with sales of the ever popular Mothers Milk stout beer rising and Allagash White slowing down. With that in mind, we introduce our customers to a great Pumpkin spiced beer from our neighbors at South Hampton brewery. Not too overwhelming with spice notes, this beer pours a thick head that settles slowly and allows a distinguished flavors of malt to come through. Another new bottle to the list this week is Stone brewery's (San Diego) Ruination IPA. We love our hops here at Press 195 and this is a double IPA that simply kicks ass!
