Recommended Beers for Turkey

As a general rule of thumb, just like wines, match the weight of the beer to the flavors of the meal. Selecting beers that won't overpower the meal is an important consideration. Conveniently, many beers that are in the fall color spectrum go well with the food traditionally served at Thanksgiving; Amber, Brown and Red ales, blonde unfiltered ale are all good choices. Plus some of the fall season Pumpkin beers work well too. We've got a huge selection for you to choose from so stop in and check out our newly expanded beer section. Here's a few to think about!

NEW Beers

Founders Breakfast Stout 4pk/12oz $11.99

The coffee lover's consummate beer. Brewed with an abundance of flaked oats, bitter and imported chocolates, and Sumatra and Kona coffee, this stout has an intense fresh-roasted java nose topped with a frothy, cinnamon-colored head that goes forever.

ABV: 8.3% IBUs: 60

Avery Ellie's Brown Ale 6pk/12oz $10.99

Beer Style: American Brown Ale
Hop Variety: Bullion, Sterling
Malt Variety: Two-row barley, Chocolate, Munich, Honey malt, Caramel 120 
OG: 1.056 ABV: 5.5% IBUs: 28 Color: Deep Russet

This beautiful, deep russet brew has the sweet and somewhat nutty character of Adam Avery's late (1992-2002) Chocolate Lab, for which it is named. Chocolate malt gives this beer a brown sugar maltiness with hints of vanilla and nuts, while subtle hopping gives it an overall drinkability that's second to none-just like Ellie!

Butternuts Moo Thunder Stout Cans 6pk/12oz $8.99

This stout beer pays tribute to the Butternuts Brewery's former life as a dairy farm. It's a more drinkable version of the Stout breed than its heavy, boorish and smelly European sisters. We use lactose sugar for body and mouthfeel; not too strong, not too viscous at 4.9% abv. Unlike a true bovine it has a malty, roasty aroma and a dry finish but no tail or teats, and leaves no unsightly cow pies laying around the yard for you to step in.

Southern Tier Pumking 22oz $6.99

91 points Beer Advocate 8.60%  ABV This beer gives off hints of pumpkin pie and spice aromas on the nose. Huge flavors of genuine pumpkin pie, nutmeg, and cinnamon come through. The mouthfeel is rich and creamy, yet crisp. It's like eating a whole pumpkin pie!

Southern Tier Warlock Pumpkin Stout 22oz $8.99

American Double/Imperial Stout- 8.6% ABV. Am Imperial stout brewed with pumpkins for a deep brown almost black pour and aromas of graham cracker, vanilla, nutmeg and hints of chocolate. Sweet flavors with a nice roast and notes of creamy chocolate and mild coffee. Enjoy!
