We've now reached our fourteenth state on the list, The Hoosier State, Indiana. Indiana ranks 16th in total population (roughly 6.6 million), housed 80 craft breweries as of 2014 (roughly over 100 today) and are represented by the Brewers of Indiana Guild (best use of the dotbeer domain thus far, btw). The state ranks 14th in total breweries and 18th in breweries per capita as of 2014, according to the Brewers Association.

So many beers- So little time... Fall has arrived and with it the beers of the season - and we've a number of interesting new releases that you'll want to chase down....Plus we've some cool offerings from Ommegang and 21st Amendment that sounds pretty serious as well.

We blame the industry for this... It used to be that when we wrapped up our Weekend Picks on Friday, we could coast through the weekend. There was little need to check in for updates - things were pretty much done. But clearly all that's changed.

So here's some of what's happened in the world of craft beer while you were off enjoying yourselves

ACB covers craft beer news, entertainment and lifestyle 24/7, and we'd like to think we do a decent job. But there's a lot of great craft beer journalism out there - and were constantly running into articles that we wished that we'd written.

So welcome to another ACB Newswire - recent articles that we've enjoyed - and thought you might as well.

So welcome to our special Halloween Weekend Picks...

Sexy female Halloween costumes have been blown out of proportion in recent years. I remember talking to friends six or seven Halloweens ago at a bar on Hollywood Boulevard when the slutty (insert practically anything here) costume was becoming popular and I was saying that there was a whole world of possibilities for these costumes. I was suggesting a Slutty SCUBA Diver, a Sexy Carburetor, a Slutty FDR, and so on. Now these ideas are practically real. A slutty Bert and Ernie? A sexy Yoda? A smokin' hot Optimus Prime?! Nice try, but I think we can raise the ridiculous meter a few more bars. Here at ACB, we joined the bandwagon and made some outfits that will meet your sexy craft beer costume needs.

Living in the state of Oregon allows us to be a little spoiled when it comes to craft beer. Sure, we've got 173 breweries in a relatively small state, yet the vast majority of those beers can't be bought in the store. I love ya Fred Meyer, but seriously, even you can't keep up with this kind of production. So, the original impetus for my journey to Bend was to investigate and complete the package that is my new Drink Tanks growler-keg that's presently blowing my mind and convincing me to change how I buy beer.

Seasonality is a big part of the American craft beer scene and it goes into hyper-drive around certain holidays. Christmas beers are all the rage as we me into the winter months - and this weekend's holiday has generated its own roster of "must-have" beers. 

Halloween is ascendant and it's no longer just about candy and costumes - it's a night now celebrated with serious craft beer....And we've five that you'll die for.
