Favorite Fall Beers

any good Oktoberfest, or brown ale, but hey i drink those anytime anyway.

 

I think Hacker's Oktoberfest gets my number 1 spot.

 

Tumbler , Pumking, Pecan Harvest

 

@Steeeve, I hear you on drinking pumpkin beers in August. There's just something dead wrong about that.

@tjensen3618 I'll definitely have to try Anchor Humming. Thanks!

 

Founders Harvest

 

Love wet hopped brews
Surly wet

Bell's Best Brown Ale

 

GI Harvest Ale gets my vote. Will have to try Founders Harvest this year - if I can find it.

 

Can't believe I'm the first to mention Founders Breakfast Stout. Ran around to a few different liquors stores around Boston today and was able to grab a case (not all at once). Just had my first sip since last years batch and it's as awesome as I remember. Really looking forward to their Harvest Ale as well. Hopefully that gets here early as well. What an incredible beer!

 

Oktoberfests! The best part of the fall beer season in my opinion. Ayinger, Sam Adams, Alley Kat (Edmonton brew). They are all full-bodied (perhaps the Sam Adams not so much), malty lagers that just scream for cool, crisp evenings. Vancouver also seems to have a decent number of great pumpkin ales to choose from. Locals, Steamworks, Granville Island and Howe Sound, make amazingly flavourful and warming pumpkin ales.

Fall is usually when I start breaking into the cellar as well after drinking cooler, refreshing ales for the summer. A couple bourbon-barrel stouts (namely Driftwood Singularity), an Aventinus Weizen Eisbock vertical (2006-2008), North Coast Old Stock, Westveleteren 12 and countless more. Fall is indeed a great time for beer drinkers.

 

FOUNDERS BREAKFAST STOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Founders Harvest Ale

Founders Harvest
Southern Tier Harvest
Goose Island Harvest
many German Oktoberfest beers
and my most favorite fall beer...

 

Founders Breakfast.
I do like my fair share of Pumpkin Ales, Punkin and Pumking inparticular.
I may have to track down a few Autumn Maple this year, it may be my favorite.
Oktoberfest do not really do anything for me however.

 

I love pretty much everything that's been mentioned (Autumn Maple and Punkin!), but the one I'm always excited for is Abita's Pecan Harvest. A good solid beer (leaning towards a brown ale?) and is great for cooking.

Great Lakes Oktoberfest
Great Lakes Nosferatu
Founders Harvest Ale

Autumn is my favorite time of year as well

Founders Breakfast Stout
Founders Backwoods Bastard

 

After hearing all the rage for FBS, I'm hoping I cant find a four pack this fall. Not a big pumkin beer fan, but Pumking is something I wanna give a try. Also can't wait for Narragansett Fest, a damn solid Octoberfest offered in tall boy cans. Bring on the fall.

 

Great beer, but doesn't remind of autumn.

 

Pumking is the strongest pumpkin pie flavor beer. You should go for DFH Punkin if you havent tried it. Lot more subtle.

 

good gourd for sure!
