The orange slice is what makes it. Changes the flavor of the beer completely. I like to wipe the orange around the glass rim before taking a swig.

A bit of Pumpkin Beer History
Posted by Kimo on 30 September 2009, 11:54 am
Prior to the Great Pumpkinoff, I decided to do a little research on the origins of Pumpkin beer.
From some of the books (Google books is great for searching these old books!) describing beer in colonial times, it seems like Pumpkin beer was not that unusual. During different times malted barley would be in short supply so the colonial brewers would use a wide assortment of whatever organic ingredient was handy. Pumpkin was in abundance so it was probably one of the most common of the ingredients.
One reference to pumpkin beer was from the 1863 book “History of Hadley” by Sylvester Judd:
“In Hadley, around 1800, beer was generally brewed once a week; malt, hops, dried pumpkin, dried apple parings and sometime rye bran, birch twigs and other things were put into the brewing kettle and the liquor was strained through a sieve. This beer was used at home and was carried into the fields by the farmers. “
It also seems that pumpkin beer was an ingredient to making a very popular drink of the day, the ‘Flip’. From the 1919 book ‘“Colonial Folkways” by Charles McClean Andrews, there is a reference to using Pumpkin Beer to make a very common drink of the time, the ’Flip’:
“Flip was made in different ways, but a common variety was a mixture of rum, pumpkin beer, and brown sugar into which a red hot poker had been plunged”
American flip was made in a great pewter mug or earthen pitcher filled two-thirds full of beer; sweetened with sugar, molasses, or dried pumpkin, according to individual taste or capabilities; and flavored with “a dash” of rum. Into this mixture was thrust and stirred a red-hot loggerhead, made of iron and shaped like a poker, and the seething iron made the liquor foam and bubble and gave it the burnt, bitter taste so dearly loved.
Anyone ever try making a Flip (or something similar)? Would love to hear how that turned out….
The use of pumpkin beer was brought back into style in the 1980s by Buffalo Bill’s Brewery offering, Pumpkin Ale.

it's too bad you have no clue what good beer is. Then again when you turn 21 in a few years you can try it. Now hurry back to your room before mom catches you not doing your homework.

Some folks are addicted to the mass produced urine they think is beer. Lord help them if they ever tasted the real stuff.

That is to miss the point though I figure everyone knows what you mean. As far as it goes, the 'mass produced urine they think is beer' is, in fact beer. By and large, the masses prefer pilsners and the 'mass produced urines' are, by and large, very good pilsners. Micro pilsners are still pilsners, not some revelation.
The issue here is choice of beer. Not quality.

And once one has had one of said beers, they realize how loose the definition of "beer" is. Budweiser is like rice water. I would take the fruitiest, spiciest craft beer over that sh#t any day, thank you.
For all the stupid things our government tries to control, why don't legislators put a gag on Bud, Coors, etc.? Snap people out of their watered-down gaze.

Hmm, I dunno Larry, A Twinkie cake is a decent cake, but no match for a good made from scratch sort of cake
(Said as I take another swallow of a fine lager from the good folks at the South Street Brewery in Charlottesville, VA)
