With fall weather now here, the News & Brews team finally cracked open some pumpkin beer.
The divisive style peaked a few years ago and while it isn’t as prevalent as it once was (or as its coffee equivalent is), there are still a few to be had around town.
We kicked it with Sideswipe Brewing’s Squashing Pumpkins, an ale that uses both squash and pumpkins in its recipe in addition to the traditional assortment of spices.
Was it gourd to the last drop? Tune in to find out.
We talk about the interesting origins of the Columbus craft brewery before jumping into the notable beer news of the week including naming the new Blue Jackets-BrewDog USA beer (there’s still time to vote); Seventh Son Brewing gets into the hard seltzer business; New England-based Narragansett arrives in Ohio; and the self-serve Whistle & Keg opens in the Arena District.
