It’s October, and that means it’s officially pumpkin beer-drinking season! But just where did the concept of pumpkin beer come from? Thankfully our friends at Serious Eats have tracked down all the details, including why Colonial Americans replaced malt in their beer with pumpkins, a pretty little ditty, and the brewery that invoked a pumpkin beer brewing renaissance. Check it out, but be warned, you might end up a little thirsty. Good thing we’ve got our Bugs and Brews event coming up soon!
