Davik Brewing

This recipe is similar to Dogfish Head’s Punkin Ale, which I was unfortunately unable to get this year. The spices additions might be a bit different, but when you make this beer, you will notice the aroma of pumpkin pie. You can use a pumpkin pie spice mix instead of the individual spices, but be sure to add the coriander!
This is a great beer for Thanksgiving.
