Plus, at the end of the post you can download a FREE tasting card to use for your own tasting. Unfortunately, I could only talk my family into trying nine, and today I’m sharing the results of our pumpkin beer tasting with you! In fact, according to ’s list there are more than 1,250 different pumpkin beers in production. These days, you can walk into any grocery and liquor store and easily find 10 different pumpkin brews just waiting to go home with you. The more modern revival of pumpkin beers goes back to the late 1980s when Buffalo Bill’s Brewery began producing America’s Original Pumpkin Beer – a brew that uses one of George Washington’s recipes as inspiration. The drink’s continued until the early 19th century when pumpkins began to be viewed as rustic, and quality malts became more readily available.
Fermentable sugars weren’t always readily available in those days, and the meat of pumpkins could easily replace malts in a pinch. In fact, they have a long and storied history dating back to the mid-1600s, well before we even became a country.
Every brewer worth their malt seems to have one in their fall seasonal collection.īut pumpkin beers are nothing new to America. Over the last few years as the craft beer market has grown leaps and bounds, so has the availability of pumpkin beers. I can’t think of another hot topic in the Halloween community more polarizing than your love of or disdain for these autumnal treats. We all have VERY strong feelings about pumpkin beer, and we all seem to fall in two very clear camps: love or hate.
