The beer
Pumpkinhead NA is Shipyard Brewing’s non-alcoholic version of its Pumpkinhead Ale, the Portland, Maine brewery’s best-known fall seasonal. Shipyard lists Willamette and Saphir hops, pale ale, whole wheat and Munich light malts, and a proprietary pumpkin spice blend.
The producer says it uses traditional brewing methods, not alcohol removal, so the beer is classed as naturally low alcohol rather than dealcoholized. It does not say how alcohol is kept below 0.5%. A firsthand tasting is needed before this profile can carry an editorial review or score.

Research notes
Shipyard says Pumpkinhead NA is made with traditional brewing methods, not alcohol removal, so it is not classed as dealcoholized. The producer does not say how alcohol is kept below 0.5%: no yeast strain, arrested fermentation or other technique is published, so the method facet stays undeclared. Launch coverage describes it as the non-alcoholic version of Pumpkinhead Ale after more than two years of development, with a pumpkin spice, cinnamon and nutmeg profile; the can reads Pumpkin Brew and calls it near beer containing less than 0.5% alcohol by volume.

Where sources disagree
Sources disagree on the following points.
- ABV: The producer product page prints the ABV as "<.05%", which would be a ceiling ten times lower than the can and the producer press release, both of which say less than 0.5%. The page figure looks like a typo, so the canonical value follows the can.
- Availability: WGME reports the launch in 19 states and Promising Beer reports 18. The count is not recorded as a number.
