As we head into fall (and in the northeastern U.S., more seasonable weather), our focus zeroes in on autumn beers. For Jimmy Carbone, owner of Jimmy's No. 43 and host of Beer Sessions Radio on Heritage Radio Network, that means seeking out his favorite fresh hop and warming beers. Plus, what would October look like without fest beers? Or how would we greet November without a mug of pumpkin ale?
Although there’s a somewhat controversial trend in the industry to introduce seasonal beers out of season, there are still plenty of great beers being released this fall, along with perennial favorites (or favorites from Perennial). Now is the best time to seek out both the old and the new, and settle into your barstool for what we consider the 25 best beer to drink this fall.
All these beers come highly recommended, although some of them are available only in regional markets. These beers are some of the best you’ll find, so even if you stumble only on a few of them, you’ll be starting off your fall beer drinking season in high spirits.
