There is no holiday season more identifiable with American traditions than Thanksgiving! And of course, one of the more cultural aspects to a solid holiday season like this month’s is a good beer to accompany every festive meal you’ll be gobbling up.
With Thanksgiving being all about a holiday that revolves around food, football and snacks, don’t just settle for any beer to complement your courses this year. Once the temperatures dip and the leaves start to turn, it’s time to welcome sweater weather and break out a nice, spiced and sweet, toasted brew that might even top grandma’s pumpkin pie served up after a mouthwatering turkey.
