Fall has arrived in all its glory – and we’ve all the right beers for the season. We’ve also some interesting new offerings from Modern Times and Ska Brewing that you’ll want to get your sweaty little hands on.
Autumn Olé (Durango. CO) – Ska Brewing is getting ready for the seasons changing with their latest release. Brewed with cocoa nibs, spices and three varieties of chile peppers, Ska Autumnal Molé Stout is a 5.8% ABV fall seasonal that’s also influenced by the Mexican and New Mexican cuisine now found all over southern Colorado.
Get Packing (Manhattan, KS) – Tallgrass Brewing recently announced a new addition to their year-round lineup beginning this fall – and the timing couldn’t be better! The perfect balance of malts and hops, Tallgrass Backpacker Brown, a 6.2% hoppy Brown Ale with a rich, robust mouthfeel and a generous dose of Columbus, Crystal, Chinook and Centennial hops.
Cabin Fever Beer (Escondido, CA) – With the upcoming arrival of cooler weather craft beer drinkers will be hunkering down indoors with richer and more robust beers. And to meet that demand, Stone is shipping their newest seasonal, the 5.9% ABV Vanilla Bean Porter alongside classics like Stone Coffee Milk Stout, Stone Ruination Double IPA 2.0 and Stone Delicious IPA in the Stone Cabin Fever Mixed 12 Pack.
Smokin’ Hot! (Easton, PA) – Weyerbacher Brewing has a new cold weather release that’s guaranteed to keep you warm. Taking their lead from their Sunday Morning Stout (but forgoing the whole barrel-aging process) Weyerbacher Sunday Mole Stout is a MASSIVE 11.5% coal-black Imperial that mimics a classic mole with coffee, chocolate heat, and just a hint of smoke.
A December To Remember (Baltimore, MD) – Heavy Seas has announced a very special anniversary ale that they’ll be releasing in early December as part of their 21st birthday celebrations. Heavy Seas 21 is something you don’t see all that often, a 10.5% Imperial Rye Extra Special Bitter (or ESB) that’s been aged in rye whiskey barrels and pumped out of its mind on spicy, herbaceous British and American hops. Sounds pretty spectacular!
