Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat loaf pan with baking spray.
Combine flour, corn meal, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl and whisk together.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, butter, eggs, shallots, sage, and cheese.
Create a small well in the center of the flour mixture then add beer and pumpkin mixture. Stir until dough just comes together—be careful not to overmix. Pour dough into prepared loaf pan and top with pumpkin seeds.
Bake for approximately 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Remove from pan and allow to cool.
