When it comes to hop-forward beers like IPAs, the fresher the hops, the better -- any good brewer can attest to that. Anybody who has savored the 3-Way IPA or Pliny knows as much. It’s why beer heads scan for canning dates and ask for the just-made stuff. In terms of the extreme seasonality, freshness, and festive atmosphere, the fresh-hop run is the beer equivalent of Beaujolais Nouveau.

Our most revered Halloween ritual involves children donning costumes, armed with buckets, heading out into twilight to solicit their neighbors for candy. If you’ve found yourself too old to dress up as a toilet paper mummy, it doesn’t mean you still can’t enjoy a Halloween Cocktail or two on All Hallows’ Eve. If you need some inspiration for what to pair with your candy corn and fun-size chocolate bars, here are some spooky American craft brews. You may not associate chopped-up bodies, space warlords, and specters with craft beer options, these three Halloween beers will definitely scare up your taste buds and get you in the spirit.
Hopped in Half by 3 Floyds Brewing Co.

A few years ago, we announced Three Floyds as the “winner” of Halloween beer. The Indiana brewery celebrates gore and horror all year long with its unique beer-naming conventions and often disturbing artwork. Hopped in Half is a pilsner with 5.3% ABV and mild notes of pepper and lemon. You can’t miss this 22 oz bomber sitting on shelves thanks to its label, which showcases a brightly colored rendering of a demon beast cleaved into a cross section of itself. Hopped in Half was brewed with input from the death-metal band Obituary.
