Pumpkin

posted by john

You’re kidding right? Drinking a beer made with parts of pumpkin? Serious? Yessir. This time of year is when the pumpkin beers appear. And as weird as you might think that is the beer is actually pretty good. Okay, we admit that pumpkin isn’t something that we’re going to seek out. It’s not going to become our go to beer any time soon. But it is an interesting thing to take to the football or costume party. While you might only have one you’ll be a braver person because of it.

Beers on the show:
Buffalo Bill’s Brewing Pumpkin Ale, Shipyard Brewing Pumpkin Head, Dogfish Head Punkin Ale, Brewery Ommegand Chocolate Indulgence and Calabaza Blanca from Jolly Pumpkin.

Homework:
Seek out a local pumpkin beer that might be at your brewery or from your bottle shop.

Hosts: John Foster and Motor.
Guests: Chris White (not the from White Labs) and Tom Mahady from the Beer and Salad show.

Be sure to visit Magnolia in San Francisco for the best pumpkin beer ever.

Good noon! Recorded in San Francisco on 10/19/2008.
