Fall in Gresham means crisp mornings, pumpkin patches, and—most importantly—new seasonal brews at The Hoppy Brewer. If you’ve been waiting all year for the rich malty flavors, spiced ciders, and bold collaborations that only come around this season, you’re in luck. Our October lineup is packed with limited releases, fall favorites, and enough variety to make your taste buds throw on a flannel and head straight for the taproom.
And yes, we’ve got you covered whether you’re a fan of our beer tap list, the ever-growing bottled and canned beer list, our rotating cider list, or our curated wine list.
(Quick dad joke before we go further: Why don’t beers ever get cold in October? Because they’ve already got their “sweater weather” on!)
Fall Beers You Can’t Miss
This season brings in the heavy hitters:
- Pumpkin Ales: Whether you think pumpkin belongs in beer or not, one sip of these spiced brews will have you rethinking your stance.
- Oktoberfest Märzens: Malty, smooth, and made for sipping during fall evenings around our fire pits.
- Fresh Hop IPAs: Straight from the harvest, these hop-forward beers showcase the bounty of the Pacific Northwest.
- Dark Ales and Porters: Chocolate, coffee, and roasty goodness to match those longer nights.
Every week, our tap list features something new, so it pays to stop in often—think of it as leaf-peeping for your taste buds.
Fall Ciders for Crisp Evenings
Our cider list shines this time of year with orchard-fresh flavors. From spiced apple blends to pear-forward pours, there’s no shortage of cozy-in-a-glass options. Perfect for those who prefer their autumn drinks without hops.
And if you’re looking for something to stock your fridge, check out our bottled and canned selection. A few seasonal ciders in there will make you the MVP of any fall gathering.
Don’t Forget the Wine Lovers
Fall is prime wine season, too. Our wine list features bold reds and smooth whites that pair beautifully with cooler nights. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or just need a glass after a long day, we’ve got you covered.
