Fall’s coming and American craft brewers are addressing things with an intriguing roster of new beers you’re gonna want to have around as things cool down.

Bogged Down (Ipswich, MA) – True North Ale Company is an award-winning New England brewery that contuse to impress. Founded in 2017, the brewery has won many international awards, to including a Gold Medal at the 2018 World Beer Cup and the 2023 Great American Beer Fest. And they’ve just released a new addition to their 2024 Sour Series.

Brewed with cranberry and blood orange purées, True North Bog Moon Rising (great name!) is a 6.2% ABV Cranberry Sour with tart red fruit and bright citrus note that give way to a subtly spiced finish.

West Coasting (Paso Robles, CA) – There are some beers that have stood the test of time, because they’re simply that good. And Firestone Walker brews one of those classics.

The recipient of numerous awards including back to back wins at the Great American Beer Festival, Firestone Union Jack is a 7% ABV West Coast Style IPA with pronounced pineapple, citrus, and pine aromas, intense flavors of grapefruit and tangerine, all balanced by a hint of malt sweetness.

Union Jack is the IPA that helped blaze the trail for the revolutionary West Coast style. Named for the British Lion (David Walker) who co-founded the brewery along with his brother-in-law Adam Firestone, Union Jack is hopped to high hell yet eminently balanced from start to finish.

Hey Pumpkin (Booneville, CA) – Fall’s coming and Anderson Valley Brewing is returning something special to celebrate its arrival. Deep copper hued and sporting a creamy beige-colored head, Anderson Valley Fall Hornin’ Pumpkin Ale is a 6% ABV fall seasonal with a caramelized malt character and highlights of cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin and seasonal spices that inform but never overpower.

Fall Hornin’ has garnered a dedicated following over the years and has become one of Anderson Valley Brewing’s most sought-after seasonal releases. And it will be hitting retail very soon in six-pack cans as well as on draft.
