Indulge in Autumn Vibes with a Cold NEPA Craft Beer

Fall in Northeastern Pennsylvania is made for bold flavors, cozy taprooms, and fresh pours. As the air turns crisp, NEPA’s craft breweries are rolling out a new season of fall beers that celebrate everything we love about autumn. Along the DiscoverNEPA Brewer’s Loop, you’ll find rich pumpkin ales, smooth dark lagers, and spiced seasonal brews that capture the warmth of the season in every sip.

Across the region, local brewers are blending creativity and tradition to craft beers that perfectly match NEPA’s fall energy — from bonfires and flannel weather to weekend brewery stops with friends. Each taproom offers a fresh way to toast the season and enjoy the vibrant craft beer scene in Northeastern PA.

We visited a few favorite breweries to sample their seasonal releases. Here’s what’s brewing this fall across NEPA.
