American Craft Beer

Fall beer season is arriving with new releases from Firestone Walker and Mahrs Bräu, Samuel Adams and SweetWater, including an Oktoberfest collaboration, a returning pumpkin ale and a new Double IPA.

Approximately 40,000 pounds of PBR, more than 50,000 cans of beer, disappeared from an Anheuser-Busch distribution center in Montclair, California, on August 17 in what has all the makings of one of the more audacious beer heists we’ve come across.

The beer biz never sleeps at American Craft Beer. And here’s just some of what’s been happening in the beer world while you were enjoying the weekend.

It’s Oktoberfest season, and brewers are looking to fall with an ever-evolving roster of seasonal lagers you’re gonna want around, along with your polka music mixtape and designer lederhosen.

Festive foods take on new meaning when made with serious beer, like this moist chocolate cake made with a smartly crafted Imperial Stout.

Stone Brewing is turning up the volume on its 30th anniversary year with a collaboration that’s as loud and as San Diego as it gets.

Oktoberfest celebrations will soon be breaking out everywhere from Cincinnati to Tokyo, complete with overflowing beer steins, bratwurst, lederhosen and more polka music than most people need for the rest of the year. But there is only one Munich Oktoberfest.

Stella Artois has long positioned itself as the beer for people who appreciate a little ceremony with their drinking. So partnering with a television series populated by impeccably dressed British aristocrats, gangsters and schemers seems almost too perfect.

Brewers are celebrating summer’s end and fall’s soon-to-come arrival with an interesting roster of beers to match the changing season.

August 26 is National Dog Day, and few industries have embraced man's best friend quite like craft beer.
