Break out the cute sweaters, jackets and boots! It’s October. The best part of autumn and, as far as we are concerned, the best season going. Here in Los Angeles it’s still warm and sunny but there’s a cool breeze blowing through the air. The breeze feels like an electric current bringing excitement and anticipation of what the latter part of the year has to offer.
Autumn is often depicted in literature as the beginning of the end. It really is a beginning though as it is the beginning of American football season, the beginning of the school year, the beginning of a string of holidays from Halloween through New Years and the beginning of a month long celebration for all of the Libras (and yes Libras should and do take the whole month).
Pumpkin Beer – the best drink pairing for fall
Why is pumpkin beer such a hit in the fall? From a marketing perspective, it taps into the seasonal enthusiasm that surrounds autumn. The infusion of pumpkin and spices resonates with consumers who are eager to embrace the flavors and traditions of the season. Breweries across the United States capitalize on this seasonal trend by crafting their own versions, blending traditional beer styles with pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. The result is a refreshing beverage that not only quenches your thirst but also evokes the cozy warmth of fall gatherings.
Where can you find pumpkin beer? Head to your local Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods. If you are in Los Angeles, Ralph’s grocery stores typically stocks a variety of pumpkin beers as soon as the leaves begin to change. Additionally, craft beer aficionados can explore specialty versions at local breweries and beer bars, each offering a unique spin on this autumnal favorite.
Whether you’re enjoying a pumpkin beer cozied up by a fire or sipping one while tailgating before the big game, take a moment to savor the essence of fall in every sip. Cheers to pumpkin beer and the delightful traditions that make autumn unforgettable!
