Pumpkinslayer is a big, rich blonde ale with the flavors of locally produced malts and carefully roasted coffee, delicately balanced with the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove aromas that have come to define autumn in Northeast Ohio. It’s a Pumpkin Spice Latte slayed into a beer. Nothing basic about that.
The brewing of beer with pumpkin pie spices in the United States dates back to 1771. The first commercially brewed pumpkin ale came from Buffalo Bill’s Brewery in Hayward, California, in the 1980s, with the recipe based on brewing studies made by George Washington. Our offering is a bold, beery take on the Pumpkin Spice Latte.
