As the leaves start to change color and consumers begin to shift their thoughts to the crisper seasons ahead, beverage-makers release their seasonal offerings. Below is a list of a few beverages created for the fall and winter seasons ahead.
Kahlúa Pumpkin Spice
Purchase, N.Y.-based Pernod Ricard USA, a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard SA, launched Kahlúa Pumpkin Spice coffee liqueur for the fall season. Available through the end of the year, Kahlúa Pumpkin Spice blends flavors of pumpkin and spice with 100 percent Arabica coffee and sugarcane rum, the company says. A 750-ml bottle contains 20 percent alcohol by volume and retails for approximately $17.99.
Rogue Farms Pumpkin Patch Ale
In October, Newport, Ore.-based Rogue Brewery will release its fall seasonal, Rogue Farms Pumpkin Patch Ale. The beer is made with pumpkins that are grown and harvested at Rogue Farms in Independence, Ore. Once they have been picked, the pumpkins are driven 77 miles away to the Rogue Brewery in Newport where the pumpkins are hand-chopped and seeded, roasted in a pizza oven, and pitched fresh into a brew kettle to create Pumpkin Patch Ale. The beer will be available on draught and in 650-ml bottles.
