5 Must-Try Cleveland Fall Beers

Tastes Like Autumn in The Land

Allison Jack September 27, 2023

Call me basic or call me a nostalgic Cleveland homer, but for my money there is no greater place on earth than Northeast Ohio in autumn. We've got fall foliage for days, endless pumpkin patches and orchards full of apples just waiting to be put into pies, ciders and fritters. Cleveland also happens to be one of the best beer cities in the country, and in the fall, we've got a bountiful harvest — nay, a cornucopia — of amazing ways to toast the best time of year.

Great Lakes Brewing Co.: Oktoberfest

"Guten tag," autumn! We'll start with perhaps Cleveland's most well-known brewery. Even though Great Lakes is nationally known for its Christmas Ale, many Clevelanders will say this toffee-flavored beauty is the tastiest beer they make. Pairs well with a plate of German food and college football.

Market Garden Brewery: Old Zahm Oktoberfest

Old Zahm is another great take on the classic Oktoberfest recipe. It's bursting with toasted malty flavor that's perfect for early evenings on West 25th Street. It pairs well with the restaurant's Pork Schnitzel Sandwich and makes raking leaves close to tolerable. Close.

Fat Head's: Spooky Tooth Imperial Pumpkin Ale

Spooky Tooth is pumpkin pie in a glass, without the mess. Rich and creamy with notes of brown sugar, this beer will warm you inside and out with its 9% ABV. Pro tip: Flop on the couch with a can of Spooky Tooth and a big plate of turkey.

Masthead Brewing Company: Haunted Hayride Pumpkin Ale

A fine companion to a crackling fire, toasted marshmallows and ghost stories, Masthead’s cinnamon- and nutmeg-laced pumpkin brew perfectly captures the spirit of fall. (And it’s likely to disappear, like a phantom, from your glass.)

Saucy Brew Works: Boo Thang

You can’t do fall in CLE without sprinkling in some spooky. Saucy Brew Works (Ohio City and Pinecrest) brings us a frighteningly good brew: Boo Thang Imperial Pumpkin Ale. You’ll pick up on hints of caramel, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger — complete with pumpkin purée.
