Fall hasn’t yet arrived, but our inventory of craft beers and ciders is changing in anticipation of the coming cooldown. Now is a great time to be a beer lover, as the selection available has never been better.
That said, we understand that the flurry of new options can be overwhelming, especially since there is only so much space available on your shelves and in your draft tower. So, to make things easier for both you and our sales teams, we decided to highlight a few of our fall favorites.
From spiced brown ales and ruby red ambers, to crisp ciders and pumpkin ales that are anything but basic, these are the beers the pair best with flannel attire and Instagram-worthy strolls through the apple orchard.
1. Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Wheat, 2. Seattle Cider Oaked Maple Hard Cider, 3. Seattle Cider Pumpkin Spice Hard Cider, 4. Uinta Punk'n Pumpkin Ale, 5. Dogfish Head Punkin' Ale
Crisp, clean and just barely sweet, Oktoberfest-style Märzen were originally brewed to signify the end of harvest season in Germany. Today, they signify the arrival of lederhosen, 1L steins and das boot.
1. Samuel Adams Oktoberfest, 2. Ballast Point Dead Ringer Oktoberfest, 3. Ayinger Oktober Fest-Märzen, 4. Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest 2018
Fall brings with it cooler temperatures and, as a result, heartier fare. These beers pair well those long simmering stews and slow braised meats that customers hunger for this time of year. Also, fall in the beer industry means the hops are ready to harvest, making it the only time of the year breweries release their fresh hop and wet hop offerings.
1. Sierra Nevada Fresh Hop IPA, 2. Sierra Nevada Fresh Hop Session IPA, 3. Sierra Nevada Fresh Hop Double IPA, 4. Big Wood Morning Wood Coffee Stout, 5. Anchor Porter
