Lakefront's Pumpkin Lager is based on a recipe from Thomas Jefferson, made with real pumpkin and described as the "only pumpkin lager in existence." Artisans at Great Lakes distill the lager, age it in a new and used Bourbon Barrels, then bottle it at 90 proof. Bottles are hand dipped in pumpkin orange wax and hand numbered.
