Craft Brew Alliance’s Seattle-based Redhook Brewery is expanding distribution of its Out of Your Gourd Pumpkin Porter this fall. Previously only available in New England, the seasonal pumpkin beer will be offered nationwide starting August 5. Out of Your Gourd, which is made with Northern Brewer hops, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and maple syrup, will be sold in six-packs and 12-packs of 12-ounce bottles, individual 22-ounce bottles and on draft. The 5.8%-abv entry joins Redhook’s Winter Hook, Mudslinger Brown Ale and Wise Cracker Wit in the brewer’s seasonal lineup.
