BEER: S’MORES YAMMY BY PLATFORM BEER COMPANY When I was picking drinks for the October issue, I didn’t want to do the old tired pumpkin beer. Little did I know Platform was brewing up a nifty yam beer. If you’re familiar with their Yammy Yammy, you may want to give this one a try. S’mores Yammy takes the sweet potato ale to a whole new level, adding notes of chocolate, graham crackers, marshmallow, and lactose. If you’re not super familiar with sweet potato ales, it may take some getting used to, especially when it comes to its aftertaste. All you need to know is that it has a 7.9% ABV, which means that it WILL get you there. If you’re a fan of pumpkin beers and want to try something in the same family, yet slightly adventurous, (I was going to say a dirty joke about butt stuff but I won’t ‘cause I’m a lady) you should give this beer a chance!
Listen up, you spooky bitches. I’ll admit it. I am not a fan of pumpkin-flavored things. This may shock some of you, but I hope that we can get past the initial discomfort. Look, pumpkin was not really a part of my diet growing up. I know what you’re going to say. WhAt DiEt, BiTcH? Shut the f*ck up or I will eat you. When I was assigned this piece, I took it upon myself to not go the typical pumpkin-alcohol route. I even went out of my way to share my Hot Toddy recipe so you can impress your girlfriend during autumn break cuddle sessions or whatever it is you do in your dorm, you nasty.
