Opening its Hayward, Calif., doors in 1983, Buffalo Bill’s Brewery helped begin America’s microbrew stampede. Today it is one of the nation’s oldest brewpubs and personifies what it calls a “maverick attitude,” offering a great selection of bottled year-round and seasonal specialties. They include Buffalo Bill’s Orange Blossom Cream Ale, IPA Alimony Ale (“Irreconcilably Different!”), Blueberry Oatmeal Stout and Pumpkin Ale.
Buffalo Bill’s Pumpkin Ale, labeled “America’s Original Pumpkin Ale,” is widely believed to be the first commercially brewed pumpkin beer in the United States. The Pilgrims were the first homebrewers to make beer with pumpkins, so it’s a truly American beer style, which has gained popularity anew since Buffalo Bill first offered it as a fall seasonal beer. Buffalo Bill uses baked and roasted pumpkins in the mash along with cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg to create its “pumpkin pie in a bottle.”
