Bourbon Bison Chili
The idea for the chili began with the pumpkin beer. Matt brewed a 9% Bourbon Barrel Pumpkin beer this year so we wanted to incorporate the light spices of the beer along with a rich bison chili. The beans and Worcestershire enhance the flavor of the bison while the pumpkin, cinnamon, and brown sugar are intended to remind you of the sweetness of the bourbon.
