My latest article for The Bulletin was published this week in time for Halloween, and in honor of the holiday I’ve got suggestions for suitably-themed beers and breweries to enjoy this Halloween season.

Funky Fauna Artisan Ales
Funky Fauna embodies the spirit of Halloween as seen through the name and label designs of many of its beers, and in fact, Funky Fauna’s first batch of beer was brewed on Halloween night in 2021.

More recently, such brews as Witches Emporium and Unholy River fit right into the season and are worth your time. Witches Emporium is a wild saison fermented in oak with peaches, and conditioned with tangerine juice, with 3.6% alcohol by volume.

Unholy River is a collaboration with Sunriver Brewing Company, brewed with peaches and lemon juice, and additionally dry hopped with HBC 586, Citra and Lemon Drop hops. It’s 5.6% ABV, with a bright tart aroma featuring subtle fruity hops and earthy flavors offering lemon and peach skin.

These types of articles are always fun to compile, and I’ve also got suggestions from Spider City Brewing, Boneyard Beer, and McMenamins, all of which can be enjoyed throughout the fall. I hope everyone had a great Halloween!
