If you’re one of those people who don’t hear the beer talk back, but want to know the answer to your questions about beer, this is the column to turn to. Ask Beer is where you get to ask a question and receive an answer without looking like the crazy person at the end of the bar. Got questions? Email AskBeer@thebeermag.com Q:DO THEY ALL HAVE HOW DO THEY GET THE PUMPKIN INPUMPKIN BEERS, AND PUMPKIN IN THEM? Got a question? Remember there are stupid questions...and stupid people. A: TheGreat Pumpkin question, Charlie Brown.majority of breweries either use canned pumpkin or bake their ownfresh pumpkins and add it along with the grains in the mash. Most ofthe flavor comes from the addition of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg,and allspice. There has been some debate about the flavor contributionthat pumpkin adds, including starches, fermentable sugars, color, and vegetable? flavors. Despite being a small contribution, it’s not a pumpkin beer without the addition of pumpkin. Pumpkin ale without pumpkin is just a “pumpkin pie spice” beer. 18:
