In your local farmers market this time of year, you’ll find the last fruits of summer side-by-side with the first fruits of fall – apples and blackberries, melons and pears. Take inspiration from the mid-season melange and surprise beer afficianados with a limited-time brew that pairs juicy summertime peaches with cinnamon, spice, and everything nice about the fall.
Craft beer lovers can’t resist a special edition brew.
And an autumn-themed white peach beer is sure to be a show-stopper. Peaches, with their distinctive juicy and aromatic profile, bring a succulent dimension to the dense, earthy flavors of fall. Their natural sweetness provides a counterpoint to the richer, spiced undertones of the season, creating a harmonious symphony of flavors.
This unusual fusion allows peaches to elevate traditional fall brews, giving them a refreshing twist while retaining the warm essence of the season.

Peach and Spiced Brown Ale
Brew a nutty brown ale infused with peach puree and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. This beer would offer layers of flavor, from the initial fruity burst to a spicy finish.
