The Gathering of the Gourds @ Iron Hill West Chester

For those of you, like me, who go full speed ahead into fall consuming everything pumpkin (especially beer) West Chester is where you'll want to venture next weekend (10/29) for the annual Gathering of the Gourds. The folks at Iron Hill Brewery West Chester will be pouring a variety of their well crafted and creative pumpkin beers along with guest brews from Elysian Brewing Co. and Cambridge Brewing Co. To accompany the pumpkin pours special pumpkin and squash inspired dishes. It all starts at 2:00 with the tapping of one seriously sizable pumpkin.

Here a little pumpkin tapping blast from the past to hold ya over until next week. Iron Hill North Wales Pumpkin Fest 2008. Hmmm, those guys in the video look familiar.
