Can’t we all just get along? Apparently we can, and the folks at Avery Brewing and Russian River Brewing prove it with their Collaboration Not Litigation Ale – it’s Salvation times 2!

A deranged king and a pack of weiner dogs has inspired Flying Dog Brewery to release a beer perfect for Fall’s cool weather and holiday fare . Dogtoberfest is a true German Marzen Style, so much so, it won the Gold in that category at the 2008 GABF!

Thelonious Monk is more then just a Jazz icon, he’s also the inspiration to North Coast Brewing’s Brother Thelonious Belgian style abby strong ale . As we continue the holiday theme, this is a classic example of choosing beer instead of wine to go with your holiday fare!

Garrett Oliver’s Brooklyn Brewery just may have created one of the finest Belgian style beers this country has ever tasted! 100% bottle re-fermented, Brooklyn Local 1  has a fine champagne finish, and of course, goes with a wide variety of food, which is perfect for the holiday season and beyond!

Brooklyn Brewery checks in with their version of Pumpkin Ale for our final taste of these fruity beers in 2008 . Post Road Pumpkin Ale is extremely well balanced, and if you’ve never tried a pumpkin beer, this might be a good one to start with!
