Description: This seasonal ale was born out of necessity. If the years pumpkin harvest was better than expected, something had to be done with the excess pumpkins. Beer was an excellent way to preserve the pumpkins’ nutrients and since winter was approaching, the beer could be stored longer than usual. Even George Washington brewed pumpkin ale. When not a soldier and a statesman, the father of our country was a plantation owner whose family and large workforce grew, bred, and brewed most of what they ate and drank. The beer you taste here today, however, tastes drastically different than the one brewed years ago. Our pumpkin ale was brewed with 50 lbs. of fresh roasted pumpkin. Spices were added to the kettle to give it just enough of the pumpkin pie flavor that makes us feel so good this time of year. Although the ale is brewed with fresh roasted pumpkins and flavored cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg, don’t expect pumpkin pie in a mug! Like most of our beers, it is balanced. Balance is usually achieved between hops, malt, and alcohol. In this case, it’s between pumpkin and spices. This beer has a beautiful orange/copper color, is 5.25% ABV and pairs well with chicken, turkey, cheese, and most desserts
