We finally found some days with grey mornings and maybe fall has arrived here in Los Angeles. Which means you are free to speak the verboten word pumpkin. Not that I will yet.
~LIGHT
Bell’s/ Octoberfest 5.8% ABV
“A coppery amber lager that showcases a full bodied, malty flavor that is balanced by a refreshing bitterness derived from fine noble hops.”
~MEDIUM
Hopf Weissbrauerei / Spezial Weisse 6.0% ABV
“The Festive: After more than traditional recipes, with great care and high quality ingredients we brew this special wheat beer in its unique red-gold color. The typical fruitiness, with full white beer flavor and an exclusive malt flavor bring Hopf Special White to a palatable and sparkling drinking experience. “

Almanac/ White Label 7.5% ABV
“This beer pairs two “blancs”: California-grown Muscat Blanc grapes and German Hallertau Blanc hops. Blended together in wine barrels and large oak foudres, White Label emerges from the casks as a unique hybrid of beer and wine. The combination of white grapes and tropical-aroma hops creates a luscious nose of ripe apricot, lychee and lemongrass. Finished with a touch of coriander, this complex sipper is a perfect pairing for dishes like mussels steamed in coconut curry, fresh pad thai, and macadamia crusted halibut. “
