A few months ago we thought about spending our Thanksgiving weekend in Portland but the house happened and the more I thought about it, it would be silly for me to not celebrate the holiday in our new home. So while I plan my menu, there is one addition this year that I’m confident will make it to my dinner feast. It’s going to be a sweet beer pumpkin honey pie that’s infused with a deep caramel malt lager from Negra Modelo. This medium-bodied lager made by Negra Modelo is absolutely perfect, it’s got a delicious caramel flavor that’s built into the beer by subjecting the malt through a slow roasting process. Once you fold these caramel notes into the pumpkin purée and bake it, you will end up with a delicious smooth pumpkin pie that bursting with deep sweet malt flavors.  A big slice of pumpkin pie and a chilled glass of Negra Modelo’s lager after Thanksgiving dinner or for that matter at any dinner sounds simply perfect!  Some kitchen tips that you might find useful when you prepare this pumpkin pie;

When reducing the beer, stir it constantly as the heat will cause the foam in the liquid to rise and it could spill out of the pan.  Always use unsweetened pumpkin purée for this recipe as I’ve standardized the amounts of honey and sweetener accordingly. Ginger is an optional spice in this recipe but do use turmeric, it will bump up the brightness of the pumpkin in the pie. Use whatever pie crust you love the most!
