Pumpkin Beers Worth Drinking This Fall
Indulge in the delights of the upcoming fall season with brews that are both sweet and spicy, offering a hint of toasty warmth.
While Florida’s weather may not be cooling down just yet, and the leaves may not be turning burnt orange, it’s that time of year when we can longer escape the allure of delicious pumpkin-infused brews.
Typically, pumpkin beer is an ale that is brewed with real pumpkin meat and fall spices including nutmeg cinnamon, and brown sugar to create warm pumpkin pie flavor notes. Beyond these classics, there are those that venture into more adventurous territory, adding notes of buttery crust, invigorating coffee, rich dark chocolate, creamy caramel, and the nostalgic essence of toasted marshmallows.
