Here are a few seasonal sippers we’ve enjoyed, home and away, since the leaves started to turn and darker beers appeared on the shelves.

When I find a particularly good beer, I often think I’ll go back and get one or two more, set them aside for when things turn really cold and we’re indoors on long winter evenings. Then I’ll read about or see another new one to try and completely forget about stocking the nonexistent cellar. Easily distracted.

What was I saying? Oh yes, a few fall favourites, and they’re all pretty good, no need to have a top choice, but because that’s a fun game (in my head only) I’ll reveal the sort of winner at the end.

I did try a splendid triple strength Belgian style beer from Quebec, but it must have been so strong that I didn’t remember to snap a photo. Maybe I’ll get one or two more in for later in the season. I’m always thinking I’ll do that. (Did I say that already? Forgetful, and easily distracted…)

And the winner is – it would have been that Quebec beer, but no photo, so not this time. Where were we? Oh yes, and the winner is – oh, hi Scout! You like the dark ones best? Cool!

And the winner is:

What a wonderful beer that brown ale is. They were all decent beers, but the Manual Labour brew was the best suited to fall for me! I might buy one or two more…
Should I do this again for the winter beers? I’ll probably forget, or get distracted… Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
