For my October suggestions, it’s a wide style variety. The complexity of brett and wood to the clean and crisp of a Midwestern Pils before heading to Japan for some salt and fruit from Hitachino Nest.

Eagle Rock/ Woodwork #2 5.40% ABV
“Beginning with ERB’s “Unionist” as a base, this beer is aged on red wine barrels and bottle-conditioned with Brettanomyces.”
~MEDIUM
Founders/ PC Pils 5.50% ABV
“Pleasantly crisp, perfectly clean and profoundly crushable, PC Pils is our take on the classic Pilsner style. While Noble hops have been the preferred choice of Pilsner brewers around the world, we went with some of our favorite American varieties. Piney Chinook, pleasantly citrus Cascade and punchy Centennial make this an easy-drinker with floral hop characteristics.”

Hitachino/ Anbai Ale 7.50% ABV
“Anbai literally means “Salty Plum” and the word is also used to describe the stat of taste and flavor. Ii Anbai means “just right”! Hitachino Nest Anbai Ale is brewed based on the high alcohol version (7%) of the signature beer Hitachino Nest White Ale, infused with locally grown green sour plum (ume), and finished up with a pinch of Japanese sea salt (moshio).”
