Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales is kicking off the year with the launch of its Oro de Calabaza in cans.
“Oro is our flagship beer,” said Tony Grant, CEO of Jolly Pumpkin’s parent company, Northern United Brewing Co. “It has won more awards, been in more publications and received more recognition than any other beer we’ve made. It is my personal favorite. We are so proud to be able to release it in cans.”
Oro is aged in large oak casks and brewed in the Franco-Belgian tradition of strong golden ales. It is described as spicy and peppery with a gentle hop bouquet and influence of wild yeast.
