Leaves are falling. Nights are cooling. Won’t be long until the high test beers get my attention - for those cold winter nights. But, in the meantime, I’ve scored some real winners. In addition to the Pumpkin and Marzen beers I mentioned last month, the creme de la creme for this month has been Cuvee d’or Rouge, an oak aged sour from Jack’s Abbey. I tried one from the local Mobil gas station (everybody buys great beer from gas stations, right) called them the same day and ordered 10 more. Truly outstanding! Another great one was The Lost Abbey’s Red Poppy. It is a barrel aged ale with cherries and poppy seeds. A third noteworthy beer was Grevensteiner by C&A Veltins from Germany. It describes itself as a”smooth rural-style beer”, whatever that means. All I can say for sure is that it was VERY good. At 5.2 % ABV, it was easy drinking and refreshing. October is going to be a hard act to follow, for sure.
