I’m so with you on loving the pumpkin beers. I just had one last night from a local Richmond brewery that was awesome.
One I would recommend to you is PUMKING from Southern Tier Brewery- it’s amazing and it’s made with actual pumpkin puree. Here’s what I had to say about it
I’m interested in Matt’s home pumpkin brew. How did it turn out?
p.s. I love the quality of photos your new camera takes!
What a fun post – great idea!
