Like it or not, summer will soon be a memory and we’ve all the right beers for the seasons changing. Plus we’ve also some interesting new offerings from The Bruery and Boston Beer that you might want to get your sweaty little hands on.
Yes I Yam (Placentia, CA) – Taking “the road less travelled,” The Bruery has returned a popular seasonal, that forgoes pumpkin in favor of yams. Brewed with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla, molasses, maple syrup and copious amounts of yams is a massive 10% ABV pleaser that’s perfect for a cold autumn evening.
Season Changing Drinking (Crozet, VA) – Autumn’s coming and Starr Hill is introducing a sessionable new seasonal to greet it. Spicy up front and tethered to bready malt backbone, Starr Hill Basketcase American Helles 5.4% state-side take on a proud German tradition.
Darkness Cometh (Seattle, WA) – One of Elysian Brewing’s family of pumpkin releases is a near perfect melding of styles. Brewed with Great Western pale, Crisp 77° Crystal, Munich, Cara-Vienne and Special B malts, Elysian Dark o’ the Moon Pumpkin Stout is a spookily smooth 7.5% pitch black hybrid that will have you howling at the moon.
Sam’s Octoberfest (Boston, MA) – One of Boston Beer’s most popular and widely distributed seasonals has just returned and it’s right on time. Hearty, smooth and super malt-forward Samuel Adams Octoberfest is a 4.1% nod to the European tradition.
