THE STORY OF THE PUMKINGDOM

Welcome to the Pumkingdom—a land filled with magic, cheer, delicious beer, and countless adventures! For many years, the Pumkingdom has been ruled by Pumking: a ruler beloved by his loyal subjects. Pumking surrounds himself with his Royal Court, a group of the best and bravest from all over the Pumkingdom. Together, Pumking and his Court are tasked with brewing the best Pumking Ales & Whiskey and ensuring cheer and merriment of the kingdom… especially during Pumking Season’s annual celebrations!

The Pumkingdom is a joyous and plentiful land. All year round, its citizens work hard in preparation for the return of Pumking Season! The Pumkingdom is a land filled with powerful magic flowing from the King’s Great Pumpkin Patch. The magic of The Great Pumpkin Patch spreads all through the Pumkingdom, powering machinery, helping its citizens, and of course, growing the biggest and best pumpkins each year for Pumking’s Imperial Ale! The return of Pumking Season is met with joy and excitement as festivals, parties, and contests take place all around the land to celebrate each year’s bountiful harvest. Don’t worry, there is plenty of delicious Pumking beer and spirits to go around!

THE REALMS OF THE PUMKINGDOM

Each of the realms of the Pumkingdom are important and unique, with their leaders earning a special place as members of Pumking’s Court. While the leaders of the realms may change over the years, rest assured the Pumkingdom is in good hands as new leaders rise to take their place and continue Pumking’s legacy.

‍The leader to the North, Warlock, dabbles in the “dark arts”. With a little extra magic from The Great Pumpkin Patch, this mischievous conjurer uses his magic to keep the realms roaring fires at the perfect temperature to roast all the dark and delicious malts that his realm is known for. You’ll frequently find Warlock experimenting in his lab, brewing up secret formulas, and testing the upper limits of his plentiful magic. Folks that live in this realm love gathering around the fire on a cold and crisp night to watch Warlock perform his newest tricks and watch sparks fly!

To the West, Cold Brew is always awake for whatever job needs doing and is known for lending a helping hand with his boundless energy! He farms his lands not only for the Great Pumking Patch but also for an experimental dancing bean. This magical bean provides a pleasant boost of excitement for all the citizens of the realm. When Pumking Season comes around, Cold Brew’s realm is notorious for being the first to rise in the morning and the last to go to bed, celebrating the harvest all night long!

‍Heading East, Pumking Nitro – the King’s smooth-talking sibling, likes to keep things chill and cool. This realm is full of innovators who have developed a way to harness the power of bubbles to do wondrous things! With their friendly sibling rivalry, Nitro knew he wanted to follow in his big brother Pumking’s footsteps, while also forging his own path. With the magic of The Great Pumpkin Patch, Nitro has used these tiny bubbles to innovate Pumking’s original Imperial Ale recipe into something new and unique to be shared across the Pumkingdom!

‍To the South, things move a little differently. Leading with strength and fierceness, Whiskey keeps all the King’s citizens safe and protects the crops from harm to ensure a smooth harvest. While Whiskey is known for his strength, he is also famous for always being in high spirits. Whiskey’s realm, while at first approach may seem fiery, also hosts some of the most spirited celebrations come harvest-time!

‍The newest realm, developed on the outskirts of the Pumkingdom, is led by Caramel Pumking. Pumking knew this realm would need a strong leader to bring together citizens from the distant corners of the kingdom. The King began his search for a new Champion who embodies all the spirit and strength of the King’s Court. Through a course of challenges, Caramel proved to the entire Pumkingdom that his sticky sweetness is a strength, making him ideal to unite the citizens on the outer edges of the Pumkingdom. Caramel continues his work bringing people together as an ambassador to other kingdoms as Pumking’s legacy continues to spread across the land.

‍Ruling over the entire Pumkiingdom from its heart is Pumking! Pumking oversees the rest of his Court and ensures the safety and merriment of each of his loyal subjects. Pumking is responsible for turning each year’s harvest from The Great Pumpkin Patch into Pumking’s famous Imperial Ale. He is beloved by his loyal subjects and the envy of those who try to steal his throne. Pumking works tirelessly to ensure the Pumkingdom is a vibrant and joyful land for everyone!

Previously In the Pumking Realm

It’s a crisp fall morrow in Pumkingdom...

As Pumking, Cold Brew, and Nitro prep for their guest of honor, the esteemed Pumking Whiskey! Where’s the ever-scheming Warlock? Shouldn’t he be cooking something up by now?

Ah, Warlock is busy, deep in his secret chambers, conjuring up something truly mystical for the Pumking Whiskey Welcome (as he is known to do). But what’s this?! The potion is bubbling like mad, frothing out of his cauldron and filling the air with smoke. This isn’t right. The great Warlock, in danger?

In search of Warlock, the King and His Court travel north to the mischievous sorcerer's realm where magic and fiery furnaces provide roasty toasty malty warmth.

When the gang arrives at Warlock's chamber, they notice an experiment going awry!

Whiskey tries to put it out, knocking over the cauldron, but its magic envelops them and spirals the court to an unknown world.

After being pulled on through to the other side, Pumking and his court find themselves in a mysterious void.

They see something familiar yet unfamiliar. It's like looking into a delicious mirror but something is off? How will they return to Pumkingdom?!

Something felt off and the gang knew they needed to get back to Pumkingdom. They harnessed what little pumpkin magic they could source from afar to return. While the King and His Court were away, the entire realm became completely void of what fuels it – pure & delicious pumpkin flavor. What are our heroes to do?

To restore flavor back to the five realms, Pumking and his court had to do what they do best...RULE ON 👑
