well i came up with this idea for after i finished all my halloween beers. i wanted to try one more type of pumpkin and add some a different twist to a typical pumpkin beer. for this beer, im going to either use sugar pumpkins or luna pumpkins are the white type of pumpkin. thats where i came up with the idea of jack frost ale. jack for the use of pumpkins and the frost for the time of year ill be serving this one.

well let me know what you think.
