Brewers are celebrating fall’s arrival with a seasonal roster of beers, some perfect for Oktoberfest celebrations, others ideal for weekend football.
Apple Brewed (Boston, MA) – Samuel Adams has a spicy new addition to its fall roster that’s only available in its Fall Legends Variety Pack.
Inspired by classic autumn staples like apple pie, spiced cider and apple butter, Samuel Adams Apple Spice Ale is a 5% ABV limited release that was crafted with a blend of seasonal spices, including cinnamon, gingersnap and marjoram. The variety pack also includes returning fan favorites: Octoberfest, Jack O-Pumpkin, and Harvest Helles.
Prost! (White Plains, NY) – We only cover imported beers that we think can hold their own up against America’s best craft beers, and Paulaner USA imports a lager that’s undeniably world class. Credited for being one of the best German beers in the world Paulaner Münchner Lager is a 4.9% ABV Bavarian original that balances a smooth malty character with the light bitterness of hops.

In developing this beer, the Paulaner brewmasters have perfected a unique technique with “yeast suspension,” resulting in a uniform, slightly cloudy appearance, consistent quality, and perfect taste.
Money Honey! (Bend, OR) – In 2025, 10 Barrel Brewing released a new take on a Japanese classic that, after earning a well-deserved reputation as a taproom fav, finally saw wider distribution. And that beer has become one of the brewery’s most popular lagers, as well as an ACB compound after-work automatic
Brewed for those nights when karaoke starts to sound like a good idea, 10 Barrel Money Cat is a 4.8% ABV Japanese-inspired Rice Lager, a crisp amalgamation of subtle sweetness, mild bitterness, moderate carbonation and a low, floral hop aroma, that should pair brilliantly with fall’s arrival.
