Science has proven that Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie isn’t technically Thanksgiving. If given the chance, we’ll put beer and bacon in anything, so naturally the first thing we thought of when it came to making this classic holiday dessert was to put beer and bacon in it. This may be the best pumpkin pie we’ve ever tasted. Sorry Aunt Karen. The caramel and toffee notes from Rollin Dirty work perfectly in this recipe.

If you take pride in your dessert you make your own crust. Unfortunately, our crust recipe is a secret so you’re going to have to find your own. Pro tip: replace half the water with vodka and don’t over mix. This will make it more flaky and easy to roll out.
