10/8/2017 -- Pumpkin Smash at City Tap House

Fort Point beer paradise embraces fall with a “pumpkin everything” event

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. The season of “pumpkin everything” is upon us so City Tap House is doing what they do best: welcoming it with open arms (and with hungry stomachs).

Since some have a tendency to go a bit overboard with the pumpkin craze, City Tap House has decided to raise the stakes even further because more is more. On October 8, the Forth Point beer paradise will host their Pumpkin Smash event featuring a 200-pound pumpkin filled with Dogfish Head’s seasonal brew, “Punkin Ale.” And if this photo op isn’t Instagram-worthy enough, try adding a “Pumpkin Smash” keepsake glass to the mix brimming with suds from the gourd-licious keg.

And, there’s more. For those who can’t get enough of pumpkin-frosted, pumpkin-laced and pumpkin-filled treats, chef AJ Beaulieu will dish out four specials from the pumpkin patch: Pumpkin Hummus with spicy pumpkin seeds, sage and house pita ($10); Pumpkin & Maple Bacon Arancini with goat cheese crema and rosemary oil ($14); Pumpkin Pizza topped with fontina and brie cheeses, Fuji apple, sage oil, prosciutto and cinnamon honey ($16); and, Pumpkin Spiced Gelato with pepita granola-salted caramel ($10).
