What happens when you dump 30 8-inch pumpkin pies, more than 100 pounds of pumpkin puree and a secret spice recipe into a 30-barrel batch of beer? You get the most Worcester ale ever.

With summer in the rearview mirror, Worcester companies Table Talk Pies and Wormtown Brewery have once again teamed up to release the Table Talk Pumpkin Pie Ale.

That’s right: One whole pumpkin pie is in each barrel of beer.

The brew will be on sale on draft and in 22-ounce bottles starting Oct. 1 at noon in the Wormtown taproom on Shrewsbury Street, according to Wormtown.

To celebrate the release, Wormtown is hosting a pie-eating contest for anyone who wants to take on the pie professionals from Table Talk. That’s on Oct. 1 from 5 to 8 p.m. and will feature Table Talk’s larger, 8-inch pies.

Anyone who wants to sign up for the contest can here.

Wormtown was founded in 2010 and is Worcester’s first brewery. Table Talk Pies was founded in 1924 and is known for its variety of 4- and 8-inch pies.
