The Fall Beer Season Is Here in BC.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

The air is cooler, leaves are changing colour, and the sun is setting a bit earlier each evening. Sweater weather features a distinct range of seasonal beers, including Oktoberfest-themed lagers, pumpkin-infused ales and fresh hop IPAs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a selection of fall-themed beers from B.C. craft breweries. Look for them from your favourite breweries or on local liquor store shelves. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fresh is Best!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

September is fresh hop season<\/a>, when many BC breweries create special beers using hops fresh from the harvest at local farms. Best known is likely the OG from Driftwood Brewery, Sartori Harvest IPA, but many other breweries also make fresh hop beers.<\/p>\n

Storm Brewing embraces its location in the industrial heart of East Vancouver by utilizing hops grown in its own neighbourhood.<\/p>\n
