Whether you like it or not, summer is coming to an end in Colorado. You can feel the impending change of season in the cool breeze, and may even notice the leaves starting to hint at their changing colors. There is no escaping it, autumn is on the way.

We prefer not to be sad about the ending summer season, and instead look forward to what fall has to offer: pumpkin beer!

Pumpkin beer is sort of like of the Donald Trump of craft beers – some people love them and can’t get enough, while others vehemently hate them and want they would go away already. The similarity ends there, however, because unlike the one-of-a-kind Trump, there are countless different styles and varieties of pumpkin beer. With so many options to choose from, even the biggest pumpkin-hater is sure to find a pumpkin beer they can enjoy.

To encourage you to get out there find your own pint of pumpkin beer perfection, today we bring you the following list of Colorado pumpkin beer releases.
