The leaves are turning and Oktoberfest is here! Kiley, our Craft Beer Expert, picked his three favorite beers to drink this Fall.
Hofbräu Oktoberfest, Hofbräuhaus, Munich, Germany 6.3% ABV This beer is brewed especially for the Munich, Germany Oktoberfest event each Fall. It’s a rich, full-bodied beer, brewed from pure water, the best quality malt and exquisite hops. It tastes clean with a crisp edge. Hofbräu imports the same beer, from the same batches that are made for its tent at the Oktoberfest.
Fall has arrived, the leaves are turning, and the pumpkins are here. But more importantly, it’s the season to add pumpkin’s best friend—pumpkin spice into anything and everything.
