Fall is here, Winter is coming, the days are getting colder…what better way to warm yourself up than a platter of rich delicious cheese accompanied by a glass of wine? We picked some fantastic Fall cheeses to go with this season’s fanciful fruit offerings: figs, pears and persimmons. And if you’re looking for cheeses to cook with as the holidays approach, we’ve also got you covered in this list!
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.

The Vodka Crust Peach Pie was flaky, simple and clean. The Lattice Cream Cheese Crust Peach Pie was decadent, rich and beautiful.
