Now we know what you’re thinking, fall seasonals—it’s not even September yet! But like it or not, American craft brewers have been hard at work brainstorming and creating these special beers all summer, and they are starting to hit shelves as we speak.
Fall seasonals are the most popular of the seasonal styles—most in thanks to the polarizing pumpkin beer. Read more about our love-hate relationship with pumpkin beers in “Pumpkin Beers: Why People Love—and Love to Hate—Them.”
In addition to pumpkin beers, you’ll notice many breweries choose to create a German-influenced style for fall–often as a nod to Munich’s Oktoberfest. Toasty Vienna and Munich malts are seen often in this list, as well as complex Noble hop character common to classic European lagers.
“Thanks to its rich harvest, fall is truly one of the most magical times of the year for beer,” said Julia Herz, publisher of CraftBeer.com and Brewers Association craft beer program director. “Small and independent brewers delight in spicing up the offerings with all the flavorful contributions autumn has to offer. And, without a doubt, these beers are certain to arouse the senses.”
To celebrate these special seasonal beers, we asked Brewers Association member breweries to share their latest releases. Here’s what they had to say:
