Fall Beers

What are some fall beers that you are either already drinking or are looking forward to?

I just popped the top on a Sierra Nevada Tumbler. I'm just starting to form impressions of it and will post a review within a half-hour.

Must admit, I had an ulterior motive to posting the above --it's our 11,000th posting.

I'm not a fan of most Fall beers except for the Imperial Pumpkin Ales.I look forward to Winter beers though. Beer

It sounds like sloshed is getting hopped out like I get sometimes.It seems the NW is all about the hops.A good imperial stout,barley wine or double bock will cure a case of hop-itis. Drink Beer Bottle

As for Oktfest beers,they are a hit or miss for me like dubbels.If it's an actual German oktfest,I usually have better luck with it.

I might be the only one, but I don't really look forward to most Fall or Winter brews.. Stouts, Porters, Oktoberfests, etc.... Just not my favorites.. I will drink them though, I just prefer more Spring and Summer styles..

I suppose A few Belgian Abbey ales will be enjoyed soon enough if that counts... Beer

Just difference in tastes, that's all, dude. I personally enjoy most styles, and the changing of the seasons is a changing of the taste-buds for me.

I'm looking forward to having multiple bottles of Southern Tier's Pumking. I'm sure I'll have at least a six-pack of Sam Octoberfest, too.

Just to add to what I said.. If it weren't for Deschutes Black Butte Porter and Full Sail Session Black Lager, I would die out here. Those are the 2 regularly available malt driven beers that we have here and both are very good.

Can't speak for the northwest but the seasonal beers in the midwest are pretty solid. There are only a small number of really good brewers locally so we get the best of everyone else more or less. The local brew shop does an annual octoberfest tasting with 8-10 true seasonals. Lots of good xmas beers like Great Lakes. I can totally understand getting burnt out on the same flavors over and over.

Winter means Ninkasi Oatis an Oatmeal Stout will be available soon. It is one of my season must haves.

While I love a good pumpkin ale most of the time, my favorite Fall beer would have to be Spaten Oktoberfest. A good portion of the time, I can find the bottled stuff at my local liquor store, but it's only on tap for a short period of time at the Heorot in Muncie, IN. Might at add that THIS particular spot is BEER HEAVEN. It's about a 45 minute drive from Indianapolis, so it's definitely a big event when I visit! LOL.
