Brewed using savory crushed pistachio nuts, Victory malt, and Palisade hops from the Yakima Valley, Point Snow Pilot is a 6% ABV Pistachio Nut Brown Ale that’s guaranteed to help you navigate the chillier months of the season.
Dark Season – Left Hand Brewing has released the fourth and final beer from their quarterly Saison series and it’s black as a long winter night. Brewed using local Colorado barley and roasted midnight wheat, Left hand Saison au Blé de Minuit is a 6.8% ABV Farmhouse-style Black Saison that’s available now…so you know what to do!
Time To Get Oil Canned (Asheville, NC) – Hi-Wire Brewing will be ringing in the holidays this season with the much anticipated return of something special that was first introduced last winter.

Dog Saison Season (Catawba, NC) – Catawba Brewing has a new Specialty Series release, that was named after the family dog. LD’s Belgian Tripel Ale is exactly that, a 10% Belgian-style Strong Ale that is deceptively light in body and unapologetically bursting with fruity yeast esters and spicy phenols.
