I don't know how this thread has been up this long without anybody giving a shoutout for Guinness Stout. Perhaps it's more of a winter beer than fall but I drink my share of it when the weather is cooler. This will be my first winter in fifteen years without a wood burning stove and my former beloved cattle dog Zach (RIP little buddy) nearby. I'll probably think of both fondly every time I raise a pint of Guinness. I don't know anyone who thinks Guinness is seasonal. I do know that a lot of people consider it a food group. Certainly, there is a seasonal aspect to Guinness Stout. In the Summer it is stored in the refer. In Winter it is stored on a kitchen shelf. |

I am a huge fan of Pumpkin Head or Magic Hat pumpkin, never smoked a pipe during the fall ( Florida there is no fall) but I would guess something a little stronger would pair well with pumpkin beers.

Just got off the phone with old college roommate who told me Guinness is firing up a brewery in Maryland where he resides, first in the states as far as we're aware?

I'm a Cider drinker. And although I would normally tell you to stay away from Angry Orchard because it's so sweet, they have a fall seasonal called Cinnful Apple. And it's the best (well,only one I've found so far) cinnamon cider out there. Super tasty fall flavor.

I don't drink it much anymore because of the sugar. |

Next time you see a Monk press down on the top of his head and tell me what happens!?!?!? I want to see if the same happens as it did to those Monk statuses/dolls that were sold here in the States 20 plus years ago. You older guys know “ exactly “ what I’m talking about....lol. |

When winter comes, I simply reach for darker, richer beers:
Kilt Lifter - Four Peaks Brewing
Taddy Porter - Samuel Smith
Milk Stout - Lancaster
Isolation Ale - Odell
Jubelale - Deschutes
... etc.

I’m going to my local Lowe’s Foods. They sell many micro-brewery beers and sell by the bottle as well.....so you don’t get stuck with a six pack of something you really don’t enjoy drinking!! Their prices are extremely reasonable 👌👍👍

It's an all year round drink in Ireland. ...and probably taste a heck of a lot better than what we have here in the Colonies too  I can only imagine what it must taste like from your local brewery to the pub tap... |

I certainly does taste good. I remember having a pint in lanzarote and being told there's a brewery in gran canaria. It didn't taste the same as it does back home.

Those of you that live in the Triangle area of NC, Deep River Brewery beers are now available at Lowe’s Foods. The micro-brewery is located in Clayton, NC. I picked up 4 cans of their Chocolate Stout 4042 which is definitely a top seller for them!! Hope y’all that live down “ heir “ give this super dark Stout a try......it’s a FIVE STAR BEER👍👍👍👍👍

...remember when beer tasted like... beer? I was never a beer drinker, so I guess I enjoy the beers with an extra added “ flavor “! Like Blue Moon with a large piece of fresh squeezed orange 👍. |

Now that you mentioned Schlitz......man did that give those who drank this beer often the worst “ gas “ possible 🤪😜🤪🤪😜😜 What about Schmidt’s, Ballantine Ale and Rheingold Beer, which was a New York beer......gross to me! |

...remember when beer tasted like... beer? ...remember when beer tasted like... beer? You mean the the piss-water from Miller and Budweiser?? Oh ... or better yet ... Blatz, Schlitz, PBR, RWB, etc. Thank god for the American microbreweries! Back in the 90', I use to homebrew quit a bit. English Bitter Ales, IPA', and a basic malty roasty Stout. I'd heard about and did remember an old time beer named Ballentine Beer. From a few magazines I'd read that the Ballentine recipe was an IPA (India Pale Ale) recipe. Imagine that recipe from 1840 up through the early 1960' that our fathers and grandfathers use to enjoy on a regular basis (when a beer tasted like a beer). In the late 1990' and early 2000', I searched the net for the original recipe without success. I'm happy to hear that the Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) Company (who bought the rights many years back), has actually brought this old timer back to life. Here's an interest link to a 2014 article for your review: gizmodo.com/how-pabst-brought-a-136-year-old-beer-back-from-the-dea-1628690352One of these days, I will locate it near Bend, OR. But until then, I just may have to travel up to Vancouver, WA for a six-pack (about a 3hr 15min drive or approximately 167 miles):
www.totalwine.com/beer/ale/pale-ale/american-pale-ale/ballantine-xxx-ale/p/9228126?s=1502That is, if I'm in the area of Vancouver, WA  |

@markinor, I used to home-brew quite a bit also ... mostly Pale Ales and Amber Ales.
