October is winding down and craft brewers are addressing fall’s arrival with exciting new offerings you’re gonna want to chase down this weekend.

A Stone Stuffer (Escondido, CA) – Stone Brewing has returned its annual holiday seasonal with a refreshed recipe and look. Combining the decadent inspiration of fine Oaxacan Hot Chocolate and the beloved Tres Leches cake, Stone Xocoveza Tres Leches is an 8.5% ABV Imperial Stout with a robust blend of sweet spices, a ton of dark and milk chocolate, vanilla, and cold brew coffee.

“I fell in love with Stone Xocoveza the first time I tried it many years ago,” said Stone co-founder Greg Koch. “I do believe that this new recipe is my very favorite version we’ve ever produced.”

Pop This! (Indianapolis, IN) – Sun King Brewing has returned a unique limited release that it did with the addition of Indiana-grown Riehle’s Select popcorn. The winner of a Silver Medal at the 2011 Great American Beer Festival, Sun King Popcorn Pilsner is a crisp and clean 5.1% ABV German-Style Lager with a dry finish and just enough hop character to keep things interesting.

A portion of the proceeds from this one-of-a-kind Pilsner will benefit The Athenaeum Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving and enhancing a one-of-a-kind historic German-American landmark in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Tripling Down On Buzz (Frederick, MD) – Flying Dog Brewery has a massive new release that’s so big you’ll have to call in sick the next day. Fueled on a pungent Citra and Simcoe hop blend. Flying Dog Triple Dog is a MASSIVE 18.6% ABV Triple IPA that’s dangerously drinkable in spite of its high alcohol count.

“We’re always looking to push the boundaries of what an IPA can be, so when one of our salesmen dared us to see how far we could push the ABV on Double Dog we had to accept the challenge,” said Ben Clark, Brewmaster at Flying Dog Brewery. “The result is a super drinkable monster of a beer that’s perfect for enjoying around the bonfire as fall evenings continue to cool down.”
