Till Tuesday (Portland, OR/ Anaheim, CA) – On Tuesday, September 12th Cascade Brewing and Bruery Terreux will each release a version of a long-awaited project that they brewed together.

Widmer Gets Twisted (Portland, OR) – Widmer Brothers is releasing a new version of America’s original Hefeweizen with a fruit-forward twist. A homage to the brewery’s flagship beer Hefe, which was introduced by brothers Kurt and Rob Widmer over 30 years ago, Hefe Twisted Citrus is a 4.9% ABV Wheat Ale brewed with blood orange, grapefruit, orange and tangerine peel – and a reckless abundance of Mandarina Bavaria and Lemon Drop hops.
There Will Be Blood! (Boulder, CO) – Upslope Brewing is returning a popular seasonal for its third autumnal run and we’re excited that they are. Brewed with juicy blood oranges and Mandarina Bavaria hops, Upslope Blood Orange Saison is a 6% ABV Belgian-style ale with a spicy sweetness and a welcome dry finish.
Brown Nose (Kalamazoo, MI) – Bell’s Brewery is shipping a seasonal that’s been a mainstay of their fall lineup for more than a decade. With its hints of caramel and cocoa and its sturdy cold weather malt profile, Bell’s Best Brown is a 5.8% ABV American Brown Ale that refreshes and never drinks heavy.
The Fall Season Pumpkin Parade Continues (Baltimore, MD) – This week’s addition to the ongoing cavalcade of pumpkin beer releases comes from our friends at Heavy Seas. With its thick creamy head and its deep burnished orange pour, Heavy Seas Great’er Pumpkin is a 10% Imperial Pumpkin Ale that’s aged to perfection in Bourbon barrels and on shelves now.
