Pumpkin brew marks summer’s end

It may be August but Dorset’s Hall & Woodhouse is already preparing for autumn with the launch of a special brew for cooler evenings – pumpkin ale.

The seasonal beer comes under the Badger brand and is housed in a new, taller bottle.

The ale is described as having caramelised flavours of roast pumpkin and cloves and is 4.6% ABV. The brewer recommends using it in pumpkin soup, or serving with pumpkin pie or carrot cake.
