Tried the Kentucky Pumpkin Barrel Ale at Bearno’s Highlands last night, only because they let me keep the cute glass. I generally avoid vegetables in my beer, especially pumpkins. I loathe all things pumpkin — pie, spiced lattes, ice cream, wallpaper. But this strong brew (10% abv) packs a punch and doesn’t reek of that horrid pumpkin taste. Instead, there are hints of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice, as well as bourbon.
Belle,
I know as an ardent St. Patrick’s parade participant you would appreciate the fact that today(9/17) is halfway to St. Patrick’s Day. Slainte.
Doh! I, um, well, of course I remembered that fact. I’m kinda bad at math, so I thought we had a few more months. 🙂 Cheers!
