When people think of fall beers, they typically assume pumpkin flavors. But did you know that there are endless options to choose from? Check out some of the tastiest, most-raved-about fall beers below.
Shipyard Brewing Co. Smashed Pumpkin Ale
If you want a traditional pumpkin-flavored beer, look no further than this big-bodied Smashed Pumpkin ale from Shipyard Brewing Co. Pale ale, wheat, and light Munich malts mix with natural pumpkin tannins and spicy Saphir and Hallertau hops to balance the sweetness of the fruit.
Sierra Nevada Narwhal Imperial Stout
Fall isn’t fall without a good imperial stout on the menu – and Narwhal exceeds expectations. Beware, though, as this delicious option is 10.2% ABV. But that’s okay because notes of espresso, cocoa, roasted grain, and a light smokiness will have you returning to this stout over and over again…while supplies last!
Two Roads Brewing Roadsmary’s Baby Pumpkin Ale
Aged in rum barrels and offering a twist to its recipe, this pumpkin-spiced beer will definitely keep your taste buds entertained. Enjoy it by the fire pit or while watching a scary movie.
Allagash Brewing Company Haunted House
This scary-good hoppy dark ale is a mix of roasted barley and Blackprinz mixed with Crystal, Chinook, and Saaz hops, giving it some coffee-flavored bitterness and a complex malty taste.
Lawson’s Finest Liquids Mad River Maple Ale
Vermont is known for two things: maple syrup and beer. So, Lawson’s combined the ingredients to make this scrumptious maple ale. It’s not too sweet, not too bitter – the perfect combination.
