492. Garfield Brewery (Indianapolis, IN) - Garfield of Screams

“Fall is in the air which means our pumpkin ale is back on the board! A malty amber base with pureed [sic] pumpkin and spices make this beer THE fall beer.”

I’ve been wanting to try this place on the south side for a long time now, but we never seem to get down there. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they were one of the breweries set up with a tent in the parking lot of the corporate-coffee-chain-that-burns-its-beans-and-pretends-to-serve-quality-coffee during today’s Irvington Halloween Festival Street Fair. I could have done without the cinnamon sugar on the rim of the clear plastic Solo cup, but the beer was otherwise fine. More pumpkin than spice, but surprisingly flavorful for a 5.0% ABV brew, and very nice to walk around with.
