BJ’s Brewhouse Pumpkin Ale
November 6th, 2010 § Leave a Comment
Today was my wife’s birthday. As is our normal custom, we let her pick the restaurant for her birthday dinner. Even though it was her birthday, I feel like I got the present because she picked one of my favorite restaurants, BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse. I always enjoy going there because it’s one of the few places locally that you can get a good craft or microbrewed beer on tap.
Today was no exception, as I had their Pumpkin Ale.
BJ’s classifies the style as a Spiced Beer. The best way I can describe this beer is to imagine if you combined beer with a pumpkin pie. It was sweet, slightly spicy and according to my wife it “smelled like fall”. In fact it’s sweetness means it would make a great desert beer. It was easy to drink and had a reasonable alcohol content.
It’s definitely worth having again sometime.
