Warm Your Palate this Fall with
CraftBeer.com’s Seasonal Selections
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.”
