America’s Small and Independent Brewers Catapult Fall Seasonals to the Top

Boulder, CO August 25, 2015—With fall upon us, the air will begin getting a bit cooler and crisper. Whether nuzzling into a favorite sweater or picking pumpkins from the patch, CraftBeer.com – the Brewers Association (BA) website for beer lovers – has compiled a list of delectable fall seasonal craft beer choices, each produced by small and independent craft brewers.

“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 their offerings with all the flavorful contributions autumn has to offer.  Without a doubt, these beers are certain to arouse the senses.”

The signature flavors and aromas that make fall seasonals great have led them to become the best-selling among the four seasons, accounting for 20.8% of the total craft volume share in 2014, and continuing to increase in popularity each year. Last year, the volume of craft seasonals sold increased 3.8% compared to the same time period in 2013.

“As the leaves change, nutty and sweet fall squash will give richness to any dish and provide a great pairing to the roast and spice in many fall seasonals,” said Adam Dulye, executive chef, Brewers Association.  “For notes of acid in your cooking this fall, turn away from summery citrus and explore how pairing apples and pears can really bring out the flavor in craft beer.”
