Gourd for You
Frisch’s Big Boy and Taft’s Brewing Co. are bringing back Frisch’s Pumpkin Pie Ale. The autumn beer features hints of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg combined with a malty profile for a smooth, rich finish. The Ale will be available, the week of August 2nd, at all major and independent retailers in Greater Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, Lexington and Louisville.
“Taft’s and Frisch’s are back to brewing for the return of our full bodied ale celebrating the world famous taste of Frisch’s Pumpkin Pie,” said Alison O’Keefe, Frisch’s vice president of marketing.
"We're thrilled to again be partnering with local favorite, Frisch's, on our delicious Pumpkin Pie Ale. These iconic flavors, combined with our hand-crafted beer, makes for a perfect ale as we head into fall," said Dave Kassling, managing partner at Taft's Brewing Co.
Frisch’s Pumpkin Pie Ale will not be available at Frisch’s Big Boy restaurants.
Frisch’s famous pumpkin pie is made from a secret recipe that dates back more than 50 years, and each pie is made in Frisch's Kitchen in Walnut Hills. Pies are assembled daily in small batches, so they are always fresh, never frozen, and feature a made-from-scratch crust and a blend of secret spices closely guarded by the kitchen’s loyal bakers. Over a million slices are served every year.
Taft’s Brewing Company was founded in 2015 through the creation of Taft’s Ale House. The founders of Taft’s partnered with the Cincinnati Center City Development Corp to create the brewery and restaurant located in Cincinnati’s Over-The-Rhine. The three-story Ale House resides in a renovated historic church originally built in 1850 and offers premium steak fare in a beautifully designed space. In 2017, the Taft’s team created a production brewery and tap room, Taft’s Brewpourium Cincinnati, located in Spring Grove Village. The 50,000-square- foot facility is home to high-volume brewing and beer kegging, canning and packaging. The Brewpourium Cincy tap room offers guests 12- 15 of Taft’s house-created brews and New Haven-style coal-fired pizza. Taft’s also opened a sizeable indoor/outdoor space in the Franklinton Columbus area that features homemade brews and the same New Haven-style pizza in a funky 80’s/90’s themed hotspot. Taft’s beers can also be found in bars, restaurants, grocery stores and other outlets across the region. www.taftsbeer.com
