Check out some fall favs in the B**r Hall this month 🍁🍻

Rocky Trails Cold IPA 🍺
ABV 6%. A dry and refreshing take on the IPA style, Rocky Trails IPA is fermented with our house l***r yeast. Creating a clean canvas to highlight the citrusy and tropical flavors of four European and American hop varieties.

Available on tap, 4 pack 16oz cans & growlers!

Pumpkin L***r 🎃
ABV 6%. This rich amber l***r begins with a blend of imported malts which create notes of toffee, caramel, and toasted bread. To achieve its seasonal flavor, we add pumpkin and a mix of cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, mace, and clove. For us, the result is an enticing aroma that conjures up memories of freshly baked pumpkin pie, enjoyed at the dinner table among family and friends.

Available on tap, 6 pack 12oz cans & growlers!

Festbier 🎉
ABV 5.5%. Our Festbier is a modern, full-bodied golden l***r inspired by the b**r served at the annual Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. It is brewed with pale malts which impart a golden color and light, bready malt character. It’s also lighter than our more traditional Oktoberfest.

Available on tap & growlers for a limited time❗️

See all of our b**rs on our menu at eastrockb**r.com 🍻Plus! Keep an eye out for our fall cocktail menu dropping soon👀
