The temperature hasn't yet dropped reliably and the leaves sure haven't begun to change color, but autumn is definitely in the air in the way that matters most: pumpkin beers are on the shelf and in our fridge...
According to the label, this molasses-based porter is made using a recipe that our first president used to keep his troops buzzed. Sure it sounds crazy, but I guess we are not British, so apparently it worked. ...

The vodka itself is much fruitier and lighter than some of the other varietals of Absolut. It retains the ever-smooth finish that one expects from such a great liquor as well....
An excellent specimen of the style that is currently making the Philly beer bar rounds for the summer is Petrus Aged Pale, a Flanders Oud Bruin. Do not confuse it for a hoppy pale ale - it is a clear, golden-glowing yellow, with a sour-apple aroma and a refreshing sour flavor. ...
I am not sure when the Jell-O shot was invented, or what possessed someone, anyone to start dumping booze into a seemingly innocuous child’s lunchbox component, but man, I am thankful. ...

A variation on Russian River’s two Pliny double IPAs (Younger and the slightly more ubiquitous Elder), Registration infuses an extra dimension of flavor through dry hopping. Taking a whiff of this hop-bomb is sort of like digging your fingers into the rind of a fresh grapefruit ...
Two Hearted Ale prominently displays these hop flavor profiles in all their glory. Imagine waking up in a tangerine grove on the first day of spring blossoms and you'll have an idea of the aroma in this beer. ...
One of the best representatives of the Saison style ale, Cooperstown, New York's Brewery Ommegang offers the spectacularly complex and easy drinking Hennepin. Saison is also known as Belgiian farmhouse ale, and in Hennepin you'll taste every part of the farmhouse ...
Beamish is brewed at the Beamish & Crawford Brewery, founded in 1792 in Cramer's Lane, Cork. The brewery is old; in fact it was only modernised in the 1970s and a lot of its equipment dates from the '60s....

Well folks, it's that time, and we here at Drink Philly think that we should share some of our Winter Wonderment with some of our favorite, and least favorite holiday-themed drinks....
