Pumpkin Beers at Library
Love them or hate them, pumpkin beers are one of the most popular
styles on the seasonal beer calendar. These spiced beers are
highly divisive, with some craft beer fans looking forward to their
arrival on shelves each year, and some dreading their progressively
earlier announcement of fall.
Due to their trendiness, there have been a lot of rushed examples in
recent years that have been too sweet and over-spiced, but the best
pumpkin beers employ subtlety to evoke the flavors of the season.
And pumpkin beers aren't anything new—some of the first beers brewed in
North America by Europeans settlers used pumpkins as a source of
fermentable sugar.
Join us as at the Greenville Public Library as Certified Cicerone David
Nilsen talks about the surprisingly long history of brewing with
pumpkin and walks attendees through a tasting of 5 distinctive
examples. This class is for patrons 21 years old and up only.
This event is free but registration is required. The dates are
Thursdays 10/24 and 11/14 (exact same class) at 6:30.
We hope to see you there!
