Oh man, I am one lucky beergirl -- my new Facebook friend Kate Robertson gave me a bottle of her husband's homebrewed Pumpkin Beer!! It is slightly embarassing, because I do not know her husband's name. So he will be known in this post as MR. ROBERTSON WHO MAKES EXCELLENT BEER!! How embarassing. Anyway, she is in SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY and FABULOUS 50's CHRISTMAS at the Towle Theater in Hammond, Indiana -- Just one more weekend, folks!! www.towletheater.org -- go if you can. And she mentioned that her husband loves beer and in fact brews his own. Long story short -- too late -- I gave her some beers that I happened to have in the car for her family, and Sunday she brought the last bottle of her husband's pumpkin beer for me!! Hooray!!! Whoopee!!!
It is a beautiful beer! It is unfiltered so there are traces of delicious yeasty sediment, which is so good for you and helps stave off hangovers. The nose is full of ginger and fresh cinnamon! The mouthfeel is light and effervescent, much lighter than many major label pumpkin beers. It's spicy but not at all heavy. Really easy to drink. And so fresh! I gotta tell you, there really is nothing like fresh beer. Another argument to always drink what's local if you can.
Oh, it's so good. Sadly for most of you, you don't get to taste this beer. Oh well, please vicariously enjoy it with me. She says his Christmas beer will be ready soon. I can't wait! I have to prepare a six pack or two to swap.
