COLORADO SPRINGS — Bristol Brewing Company in Colorado Springs is starting to make its famous Venetucci Pumpkin Ale! The brewery held its annual roasting and smashing event Wednesday morning.
The brewery is based at the Ivywild School, which is located on the southwest side of Colorado Springs.
Wednesday, staff members there smashed more than 400 pounds of pumpkins.
This year, Smith Farms in Peyton donated the pumpkins to the brewery. Venetucci Farm in Security-Widefield is not able to grow pumpkins anymore because of issues with the water coming from Fountain Creek.
