Love this place, but didn't know how much Baltimore history it held. I included it in my book on brewery tourism that was published (checks notes) 11 years ago now!

You can find examples of #pumpkinbeer here in Seattle, but if you don't want something brewed by AB-InBev, you have to hunt around. This year I'm really enjoying Ravenna Brewing's Hello Gourdgeous. The spice level is just right, and while it starts sweet, a semi-dry finish adds to its drinkability.

Love the apparently homemade "Probably one of the best pubs in England" sign behind the bar.
