Indulge in Autumn Vibes with a Cold, Local Beer
By now, we’re deep into our fall feelings. We’ve recovered from costume parties, turned back clocks, dug out all the comfy sweaters, scarves and puffers. At this point, we’re maybe one toasted pecan, brown sugar, oat milk latte away from climbing into a pile of crunchy leaves and hibernating until spring. Sure, the haunted houses are all packed up and the apple orchards have shuttered for the season, but don’t fret.
Somewhere on the DiscoverNEPA Brewer’s Loop, the spirit of fall is still alive and kicking. We skipped along to 10 local breweries to find you a few tasty, autumn-ey beers. Check em’ out.

Imperial Oatmeal Stout / ABV — 8%
“The oatmeal provides a velvety smooth mouthfeel. Up front, you get the aroma and taste of vanilla and maple syrup finished by a nutty chocolate note. This is a fall and winter warmer perfect for sipping around a fire during those chilly flannel season nights.”
