It's Not Too Early for Pumpkin Spice Things in New England

Was that headline triggering? That may have been a little dramatic, but can we all agree that pumpkin spice-flavored things are elite? Whether it's pumpkin coffee, pumpkin beer, or the pumpkin spice overnight protein oats I make after the gym, it is what it is. I just think it's absolutely hilarious to see the constant battle Americans go through each year, as we try to hold out on buying pumpkin-spiced things until October hits. Let's normalize not fighting one of the most amazing coffee flavors of the season, and just ordering it.

Actually, Shipyard Pumpkin Head, the brew that just won Portland's best beer of 2024, is available on tap all over Maine for the season, whether we like it or not. But we do like it. In fact, we love it, and you know it.

I love what Pumpkin Pete did in this next reel by reading out haters' comments on social media about the beer being out too early for the season. Watch this:

Remember when Cumberland native Julia Gagnon would read haters' comments on her own Instagram with her American Idol bestie (and winner) Abi? Let Pumpkin Pete & Julia be the poster children for how to combat miserable bullies on the internet. We love to see it, and we love pumpkin beer, so shut up.
