Technically, it does when it comes to taste and flavor profile. If you grab a pumpkin ale during the fall, your biscuits will have a hint of pumpkin flavor (fun idea for this fall...making note!). The darker the beer, the more complex and full-bodied the flavor. I like using a light beer to save calories and give the biscuits a hint of beer flavor. That means you can add toppings and build the biscuit without too many conflicts. Plus, if you use a vegan beer, you can stick with a vegan diet. We'll cheers to that!
