Pumpkin ale
Pumpkin ale is a popular style of beer in the United States. Pumpkin ale may be produced using pumpkin flesh in combination with malt or other more typical beer grains as a portion of the mash bill, contributing fermentable sugars to the wort. It may also be produced by adding natural or artificial flavor to a finished beer. Spice flavor may be added to evoke the flavor of Pumpkin pie, a popular American wintertime dessert.
Many styles of pumpkin ale are produced, including pale ales, wheat beers, porters, and stouts. Often produced as a seasonal beer in the fall,[1] it produced by several breweries including Sea Dog Brewery, Shipyard Brewing Company, and Blue Moon.[2]
History
Brewing of beer with pumpkin dates to before the founding of the United States.[3][4] Its contemporary popularity has been described as part of a "pumpkin spice craze," initiated by a rash of pumpkin- and pumpkin-spice-flavored consumer food products, such as the Pumpkin Spice Latte.[5]
