Summer will soon be a memory and American craft brewers are addressing the soon-to-change season with a new roster of refreshing beers you’re gonna want to have around.
Sycamore Celebrates Fall Early (Charlotte, NC) – Sycamore Brewing is celebrating fall early with the return of something special. A harmonious blend of house-roasted cold brew coffee, pumpkin pie spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, clove and ginger) and vanilla, Sycamore Pumpkin Latte Blonde is a 5.8% ABV seasonal with a spicy sweetness that is balanced are balanced out by bitter dark chocolate and slight berry notes from the cold brew.
“Pumpkin Latte Blonde is like a pumpkin spice latte in beer form,” says Sycamore Brewing’s co-owner, Sarah Taylor Brigham. “While some may call it basic, this ale is truly unique because we’ve added our own house-roasted cold brew coffee to it. You can really taste the freshness and quality.”
Down Town (Bend, OR) – 10 Barrel Brewing has an uber-interesting Hopburst year-round that began as a specialty brew with their friends out east at Rome Snowboards.

A fan-favorite that was inspired by the kind of Double IPAs found in Vermont, 10 Barrel All Ways Down is a massive 9% ABV Double IPA with bright citrus, cannabis and pine notes and intense sweet pineapple and mango aromatics.
Look for All Ways Down now anywhere 10 Barrel beers are sold, aa well as in the new HopBurst Variety Pack featuring all four IPAs—Juicy Drama, Apocalypse, All Ways Down, and Cloud Mentality.
Time To Hit The Road (Hershey, PA) – Tröegs Independent Brewing has a new addition to its year-round roster that was inspired by “Graffiti Highway,” an abandoned stretch of road that became a Pennsylvania landmark. Just a short trip from the brewery, this abandoned stretch of road was once a Pennsylvania counter-culture hot spot, a gathering place for like-minded artists to contribute to a colorful mosaic in an otherwise fading landscape.
A homage to that landmark that was buried forever in 2020, Tröegs Graffiti Highway Double IPA is a 9.5 ABV India Pale Ale with mosaic of intense fruit-forward flavors that give way smooth bitterness. And like many of Tröegs’ beers, Graffiti Highway started as a series of test batches through the brewery’s Research & Development brewhouse known as the Scratch Lab.
“The Scratch Lab is a 3-barrel system that allows us to test hop combinations, times and temperatures side-by-side,” says Tröegs Brewing Manger Tim Mayhew. “We’re able to taste the nuances of these trials and find new inspirations.”
