So, once again, football season is upon us! That means Marzen, Spiced and Pumpkin beers are in the stores! My favorite beer season! A new high for the former style is the collaboration between Sierra Nevada and Weihenstephaner. Their Oktoberfest is not only the best Festbier I have ever had, but one of the best beers of any style! About what you would expect from one of the premier U.S. brewers and the oldest, and one of the best, brewers in the world. It is truly outstanding! 

You into pumpkin ales? Then, Uinta Pumpkin Ale is for you! While not, for my taste buds, as good as the pumpkin offerings from Captain Lawrence and Elysian, this is a very good Pumpkin Ale. One that I will certainly buy again. 

This beer season is complicated by football! In addition to which beer to drink I have to decide which game to watch - a new kind of beer pairing!
