Even if you're not into pumpkin beer, this is a blend worth trying: combined with an equal part of deeply smoky Rauchbier—a brew made from wood-smoked malted barley—the drink acquires a rich, savory quality with notes of bacon.

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces pumpkin ale, like Southern Tier Imperial Pumking
  • 6 ounces rauchbier, like the Marzen pictured above

Directions

  1. 1.

    Combine both beers in a Collins or highball glass and stir gently.
