Thinking About Pumpkin Beer

Updated: Jul 31, 2022

Yes, I know it's too early, but..... I saw this video and wanted to post it here for future reference. Sounded really nice, not too sweet with a pumpkin and spice note to it.


I'm not really a fan of this style but I still feel like brewing one usually. This one is basically an amber ale.. What style of beer do you think works best for this fall classic



Best Pumpkin Ale Base Beer?

  • Amber Ale

  • Porter

  • Dubbel

  • Scotch / Scottish Ale



RECIPE FOR 5 GALLONS:

7 lbs 2-row American Pale Malt

2 lbs Aromatic Malt

2 lbs Munich Malt

2 lbs Victory Malt

1 Roasted pumpkin

1.00 oz Northern Brewer [8.50 %] - Boil 60.0 min

1.00 tsp Ginger Root (Boil 10.0 mins)

1.00 tsp Cinnamon Stick (Boil 10.0 mins)

1.00 tsp Nutmeg (Boil 10.0 mins)

1.0 pkg American Ale (Wyeast Labs #1056)


Pumpkin prep: Slice, sprinkle with brown sugar, bake at 375F for 1.5-2 hours. Remove skin, mash pumpkin pieces, and add to the start of the mash.
