Description
If you didn’t know any better, you might assume that the whole pumpkin beer “thing” was an offshoot of Starbucks’ pumpkin-spiced-latte phenomenon. But it most certainly is not. The PSL only hit the American drinking public in 2003. Pumpkin beers, on the other hand, are typically dated to 1983 or thereabouts, shortly after one Bill Owens opened Buffalo Bill’s Brewery in Hayward California. It was there that Owens — a former award-winning photojournalist and future founder of the American Distilling Institute — pioneered the autumnal brew, based on a historical recipe attributed to George Washington, creating one of craft brewing’s most enduring calendrical calling cards in the process.
