Hell officially froze over today, June 30th, as the pumpkin beer trend became a mockery of itself with the release of this year’s Southern Tier Pumking. A pumpkin beer. In June. Which, according to reports from BeerPulse, was bottled in late May, and brewed even earlier than that.

I’ve documented Seasonal Creep for years here on this site, and it wasn’t long ago that we mocked the release of Shipyard’s Pumpkinhead when it was at the end of July. Last year, we pointed out the irony of Samuel Adams Summer Ale being released on a snowy day. In recent years, we’ve pointed out that many of these beers aren’t even available in the season they’re inspired by.

But now, brewers are just throwing the calendar out the window for good. Summer officially began just nine days ago, and with it comes fall beers that most level-headed beer geeks wouldn’t want to drink in 90-degree weather.
