Best Autumn Brews

It’s fall! That means it’s time once again for bonfires, apple picking, pumpkin carving, and most enjoyable of all, seasonal beverages. For some of us that means pumpkin spice lattes. For others, it’s time to bring out the fall beers.

(Hint: some popular locally-brewed beers that the Aronson crew enjoys when they’re off-the-clock include Half Acre Beer Co.’s Lager Town, Two Brothers Brewing’s Atom Smasher, and Revolution Brewing’s Oktoberfest)

But if you are looking for something to keep you warm when the cold November wind starts to blow, there’s nothing better than a cup of hot spiced cider or wine. If you’ve never had the pleasure before, the recipe is simple, and very easy to customize. Experiment with the recipe below at your next family gathering.

Mulling spices
  1. Pour a jug of cider or a bottle of red wine into a large saucepot or slow cooker.
  2. Add lemon or orange slices.
    • You can also substitute clementine!
  3. Add cinnamon and clove – for best results use whole spices rather than ground, and remember that a little goes a long way.
    • For more flavor, we recommend adding one or two more spices. Popular additions are star anise, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla bean, and cardamom.
  4. Add one-fourth cup of sugar.
    • You can also substitute brown sugar, honey, or even maple syrup!
  5. Let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes, being careful not to let it boil.
  6. Pour through a coffee filter to strain out the whole spices.
  7. For an extra kick, add a splash of liquor.
    • We recommend bourbon, brandy, or rum.
  8. Ladle into a heatproof glass and enjoy!*
