Yikes, September already and American craft brewers are addressing the changing seasons with an intriguing roster of new beers you’re gonna want to have around.
Eins, zwei, g’suffa! (Hershey, PA) – Pennsylvania is home to a rich German heritage, so it shouldn’t surprise that Tröegs Independent Brewing makes one of the best Festbiers in the nation. Part of the brewery’s popular Long Live Lagers Series and crafted using a traditional brewing technique called decoction, Tröegs Oktoberfest Lager is a 6.1% ABV seasonal release with bright notes of sweet caramel, fresh-baked bread, and flowering herbs.
“It’s one of our simplest recipes and only uses two types of malt,” said brewmaster and co-founding brother, John Trogner. “It starts with a base of pilsner malt, then we add a touch of Munich to impart a bready flavor. By boiling a portion of the mash, we create a bright, dry maltiness. The yield is a rich, complex malt character.”
Single-Hopped (Grand Rapids, MI) – Founders Brewing has an interesting new addition to it’s fall roster that we can’t wait to get our hands on. A special take on the brewery’s bestselling Session IPA that is brewed using the classic Mosaic hop, Founders All Day Single Hop is an approachable 4.7% ABV India Pale Ale with dank pineapple and lemon notes, a mild bitterness, and an uber-clean finish.
This single hop All Day delivers on everything good about Founders All Day IPA and everything they love about hops. Available now through early December, it’s a showcase of what hops are and can be.
Big (Seattle, WA) – In 1981, Redhook Brewery was born in a converted transmission shop in Ballard, kickstarting the Seattle craft brewing movement. And the Redhook is still kicking it with one of the most dependable IPAs in the nation.
A tribute to the brewery’s original stomping grounds Redhook Big Ballard Imperial IPA is a BIG 8.6% ABV India Pale Ale that more than lives up to its name, with a bold and aggressive hop profile, deep golden body, and crisp finish.
