For those of us who enjoy less hoppy beers, sour beers are an excellent choice for autumn. These refreshing beers boast a tangy, crisp flavor that’s perfect for enjoying a cool day. This one in particular, Sour Harvest Saison from Collective Arts Brewing, is brewed in Hamilton, Ontario — a gorgeous waterside town known for its proximity to waterfalls and picturesque autumns.

This colonial style beer from Brooklyn Brewery was crafted to resemble the flavors of the Revolutionary war era beers. Like the colonists of this time period, this beer is made with real pumpkin and blended with barley melt. Topped off with a little spice, this classic beer is perfect for enjoying Game Day or an afternoon on your porch.

During the cooler months of the year, a brown ale is a popular choice. Made with roasted malts, the darker ales have a toasty flavor that’s perfect for Fall. In particular, the Great Raft Creature of Habit is a brown ale mixed with a twist of coffee. In this Fall beer, both the dark ale and coffee flavors are prominent, coalescing into a warm and refreshing flavor.

Like the Great Raft Creature, the Fall Stout from Maine Beer Company is also a dark ale coffee stout. It earns the name “Fall” because its chocolatey flavor is not too dense and peppered with cedar and citrus — just perfect for enjoying a chilly New England day. 

Here’s to pouring a cold one on a chilly day!
