Austin is blessed with a vibrant craft brewing scene offering beers, settings, food and events to suit every taste. One of the best things is the production of seasonal brews, meaning you can fill your glass with something just right for the day. Try one of these seven local drinks created for fall.

Crosby, St. Elmo Brewing
This Fresh Hop Harvest IPA only comes around once a year. St Elmo Brewing makes it with whole cone Strata hops picked at Crosby Hop Farm in Woodburn, Oregon, shipped overnight and thrown into the kettle within 24 hours. According to the brewmaster, this ensures they get every amazing little hop oil and aroma out of it and into the brew. Crosby will be released on Friday Sept 23 on draft and in cans to-go from the brewery. 440 E. St. Elmo Rd

Imperial Stash: Mike’s Hot Honey Cider, Austin Eastciders
Austin Eastciders collaborated with makers of Mike's Hot Honey on this brew with notes of sweet honey, crisp apple, chili and a lingering heat. The limited-edition can features a honey drip print around the rim and holographic honeycomb and bee motifs, developed in collaboration with long-time brand design partner, Robert Lin. “A couple of years ago, we created a hard cider infused with smoked spicy honey and it was a huge hit,” says John Glick, president of Austin Eastciders. To bring the flavor back as an Imperial Stash, he reached out to Mike’s Hot Honey, which he calls “a force behind the hot honey trend.” Available on draft at Austin Eastciders tasting rooms at 1530 Barton Springs Road and 979 Springdale Rd in September and in six-packs and draft at other outlets (including Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio) in October, while supplies last.

Katie’s Pride, Lazarus Brewing
Lazarus Brewing releases this beer, an Oktoberfest style Märzen, on October 1. General manager Marcus TenHarmsel describes this version as a refreshing German style lager, almost amber and very dry, with nutty, bready and caramel notes. Traditionally served in Munich for Oktoberfest, Märzens go well with all the festival’s traditional foods and the brewery will have weekend food specials such as bratwurst and pretzels with cheese. Katie’s Pride is named for Katharina von Bora, the wife of Martin Luther who operated a brewery in addition to supporting Luther’s Protestant Reformation in the 1500s. On September 16, Lazarus released Twenty Pound Brown, a hop-forward, full-bodied Indian Brown Ale. “It reminds us of cool fall weather and sitting around a campfire,” says TenHarmsel, noting the beer is named for a trout caught in Montana. This brewery has street tacos and a large shaded patio. 1902 E. Sixth St. Opening in early Oct., Laz2 at 4803 Airport Blvd features a larger brewery and expanded food menu.
