Local Breweries Introduce Seasonal Apple Cider Beers

Sway Brewing + Blending in Door County is hosting 'Boos and Brews' on October 24, an event that combines local flora and craft beer education, featuring beers made with native plants. Participants will tour The Ridges Sanctuary, sampling beers made with ingredients like spruce tips and yarrow before learning about the brewing process at Sway. In South Carolina, Edmund's Oast Brewing Company has created a seasonal 'Apple Cider Doughnuts' blonde ale, highlighting autumn flavors with notes of cinnamon and apple. Meanwhile, Source Farmhouse Brewery in New Jersey is producing a unique 'Apple Cider Donut Ale' in collaboration with Battleview Orchards, blending apple cider donuts into their brewing process for a fall-inspired flavor. In Sonoma County, local distillers are also embracing fall by crafting cocktails infused with seasonal ingredients like nutmeg and cinnamon. These autumnal beverages reflect the creativity and local sourcing trends among breweries and distilleries across the U.S.
