Description
Our oldest recipe calls for fresh-picked, locally-grown, pie pumpkins planted specifically for Rusty Nickel Brewing Co. by Zittel’s Farm in Eden, NY. Harvested at the peak of ripeness and personally inspected by our head brewer, these precious pumpkins undergo a truly unique brewing process that transforms them into a deliciously sweet and spicy ale. You’ll swear we stole your grandma’s recipe!
What separates us from the big guys? Real. Pumpkins.
Most large breweries will use canned pumpkin or no pumpkins at all to get their pumpkin flavor; they also get their beer to market at the end or even beginning of the summer. Staying true to the seasons we wait until the harvest is complete to get our garden-fresh ingredients and beer to market.
