Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, beat sugar, canola oil, beer, and honey until well blended.

Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.

Stir in pumpkin until just blended.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.

Bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.

If the top begins to brown too quickly, shield with aluminum foil after 45-50 minutes.

Let cool in pans for 10 minutes.

Remove from pans and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
