Fall is in the air, and all you alcoholics know what that means: fall beer time!
OK, let's get real -- fall is never in the air in South Florida. However, it's fall beer time anyways, damn it, and we're going to enjoy the frothy goodness of crisp pumpkin and pecan just like any Northerner.
The beer selection come October can be pretty overwhelming, so we have taken upon ourselves the noble task of spending hours holed up in
Riverside Market Cafe, conducting research. We know, we know... it was tough. But we did it just for you.
After sifting (or sipping, rather) through the staggering collection, we came up with five of our favorite fall brews. If you drink enough of them, you might actually start to feel a little fall breeze.
Punkin Ale, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Delaware
We had to start off the list with a solid pumpkin choice.
Punkin Ale by Dogfish Head just might be the Perfect Pumpkin Beer... and there are a lot to choose from. The spices -- cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and organic brown sugar -- are awesome, with an aroma as delicious as the taste. Not too sweet, not too heavy; Dogfish Head got this smooth, malty ale just right. Usually we can only handle one pumpkin brew per sitting, but this is one of the few that you could actually knock back several of.
