Pumpkin ale

Pumpkin ale is a popular style of beer in the United States.

It may also be produced by adding natural or artificial flavor to a finished beer.

Often produced as a seasonal beer in the fall,[1] it is produced by several breweries including Sea Dog Brewery, Shipyard Brewing Company, Saint Arnold Brewing Company and Blue Moon.

[2] The brewing of beer with pumpkin in the United States dates back to 1771.

[4][5][6] The beer's contemporary popularity has been described as part of a "pumpkin spice craze," initiated by a rash of pumpkin- and pumpkin-spice-flavored consumer food products, such as the Pumpkin Spice Latte.
