Pilgrim is BACK!

TIS THE SEASON! Our most hotly anticipated annual release is finally here. It’s Pilgrim time, and this year, it’s brought an all new pumpkin spiced pal along!

Our pumpkin spiced pale ale has become, dare we say it, a bit of a Halloween icon that heralds the arrival of spooky season across the beery land. First released in 2017, our Pilgrim was originally inspired by a trip to America. We came back with a secret recipe provided by friend of the brewery and World Beer Cup award winning brewer Dan Rogers. We knew we were taking a bit of a risk that first time Pilgrim was unleashed upon our drinkers, with pumpkin spiced everything not having quite the pull over here as it did on the other side of the Atlantic. But it immediately found its niche, and now we couldn’t imagine our autumn without it!

…AND THAT’S NOT ALL. This year, our intrepid little Pilgrim hasn’t been alone on its journey, and has brought along an even more EXTRA friend! Introducing MARSHMALLOW PILGRIM, a Pumpkin Pie stout bringing a little bit of the dark side to this Halloween. Featuring the same lip-smacking blend of warming pumpkin pie spices as the OG Pilgrim and also coming in at 5.0% ABV, but with roasted malts for extra cosy campfire vibes and additions of sweet vanilla and fluffy marshmallow that’s sure to have you coming back for s’more…

Last year Pilgrim sold out in record time! So this year, along with adding a new squash sibling to the family, we’ve upped the brewlength and will have more Pilgrim available than ever before. GOOD GOURD!

Casks and kegs sold out during the pre-order window, but we still have cans of both Pilgrim releases available for trade customers, and on our online shop. Plus, we’ve got Pilgrim tees and even Pilgrim inspired pumpkin spiced vodka available, distilled for us by The Sheffield Distillery Co. It makes an absolutely fantastic White Russian!

Join our Pilgrimage and let’s get this Pilgrim party started! (PS – join us for an actual Pilgrim Party at our very own Abbeydale Beerworks taproom, from Thursday 29th to Saturday 31st October!)
