Creating the Buzz of the Season


Braxton Pumpkin Pie Beer

Launching Braxton's Pumpkin Pie Ale

Born in a garage, the passion for brewing became an entrepreneurial obsession. Melding the age-old tradition of brewing beer and innovative new-age technology, dreams are born and fermented at Braxton Brewing Company. Braxton launched a seasonal Pumpkin Pie Ale in celebration of Fall, partnered with a 148-year old ice cream brand, Graeter’s Ice Cream. This Braxton Brewing Co. flavor brought beer drinkers an adult-friendly beverage that rings with the Fall season. Mimicking the nostalgic flavors found in a slice of pumpkin pie, it featured notes of pumpkin pie spice, as well as hints of pie crust. The brew was the quintessential ode to pumpkin pie.
