DRINK THIS IMMEDIATELY: The Pumking Bomb at P.O.P.E.

Filed Under: Booze | Eat This Immediately

Hollis Alger, a very creative waitress at P.O.P.E. (1501 E. Passyunk Ave.) has come up with a drink worthy of your time and money. It's not on the menu at the beer bar, but I think it should be. Take one shot of SNAP liquor. Take on pint of Southern Tier Pumking Imperial Pumpkin Ale (sometimes it's on draft, but you can always order a 22-ounce bottle). Mix them together, and voila, you have the perfect fall beverage to get your autumnal drink on. It tastes like a wedge of pumpkin pie thanks to the ginger cookie elements of SNAP combining with the caramel malt and pumpkin puree in the beer. Peep the above video, featuring Hollis, Dr. Tony Fast and yours truly for a how-to walkthrough. Drink this immediately!

National Mechanics has been doing something similar, a pumpkin pie shot with the Pumking and Pinnacle whipped cream vodka.

Wishing well has the 'autumn bomb' that's New Holland pumpkin with a shot of snap.  Damn good.

This mix is a bit of an autumnal assault.  I like Snap and JK Scrumpy's Apple Cider.
