Fall is here, colors have changed, and beer shelves are full of pumpkin ales and Oktoberfest. But maybe that’s not your jam. For me, autumn means camping and campfire season, and the seasonal release of a number of really great beers I like to sip in the great outdoors. Here are some of my favorites.
Odd Side Ales Mayan Mocha Stout
Grand Haven, MichiganThis is one of those recipes that could go wrong in all directions but lands right on target. While it’s inspired by spicy Mexican hot chocolate, the central flavor is Dutch chocolate coffee, with very balanced additions of nutmeg, cinnamon, and habaneros. With that spice and 6.5 percent ABV, it’ll warm you up as much as the campfire.
