In a season dominated by pumpkin flavored everything, beer is no exception. Many breweries brew fall beers and most of them taste similar. Southern Tier’s beers stand out above the rest, always full of good flavor, that rings especially true with their fall seasonal brews, Pumking and Warlock.
Pumking - 8.6 % ABV

Temporal Purgatory
18th Street Brewery
American Pale Ale
5.9% ABV
Watermelon Dorado
Ballast Point Brewing Co.
Double IPA with watermelon

Summer means FUN. Fun means outdoor gatherings with friends. An outdoor gathering with friends requires a barbecue and tasty barbecue deserves a GREAT BEER! (If I must admit, a pool couldn't hurt either.)
ControversiALE
Short's Brewing Company
American India Pale Ale
6.5% ABV
I often say that everyone has a different palate and you should rightfully keep that in mind when reading this blog. What I deem a disappointment may very well emerge as your next favorite. The simple fact is that you have to try everything for yourself and let your own senses be the barometer for your future purchases. Cool? Cool!
Grapefruit Sculpin
Ballast Point Brewing Co.
India Pale Ale with grapefruit
7% ABV
Look folks, like it or not, there's a new kid on the beer block and they're about to change the way you think about the age-old elixir we have all come to crave. Last week, region beer geeks, myself included, happily welcomed the arrival of San Diego's award winning Ballast Point Brewing Company to Indiana. (Finally, I know.) Consequently, I have dedicated this installment of the Wise Guys Beer Blog to their famously popular year-round release Grapefruit Sculpin IPA.
The Grizz
Tallgrass Brewing Company
Imperial IPA
9.5% ABV
So Hopslam season has come and gone. What are you going to do? Cry about it? Heck no! You're going to tie your shoes tight and get down here to check out the latest from Manhattan, Kansas' own Tallgrass Brewing Company!
Northwind
Two Brothers Artisan Brewing
Imperial Stout
9.1% ABV
Your Father Smelt of Elderberries
Stone Brewing Company
Medieval-style ale brewed with Elderberries
10.3% ABV
I haven't been a fan of Stone's Stochasticity series thus far, but I picked up this latest offering from Greg Koch and company largely, if not completely because of the Monty Python connection. Even if the beer stinks, it's still a pretty cool bottle to put on display, right? However, friends, trust me when I say that this brew is over the top, shout it from the mountains, doing cartwheels in the Wise Guys bomber aisle-fantastic!
