So brew a pale ale with the tastes of fall!. Coach mentioned pumpkin, but I think that's a little short sighted!.!.!.sorry Coach!. That and I dislike pumpkin!. When I think of fall/autumn I think of picking apples as a child!. I recently made an Apple Clove Witbier, but what about an Spiced Apple Ale!? Maybe a bit of cinnamon!? As far as recipe assuming you are brewing a 5 gallon batch!.!.!.
During your boil add about an ounce to two ounces of Grains of Paradise or maybe a cinnamon stick or two!.
After the boil allow the mash to cool to 140-145F and then steep a half dozen peeled and cord apples for 30 minutes!. Remove the apples, chill your mash and pitch your yeast!.
What about a nice stout!? Some roasted malt, with a hops that will impart a nice nutty/woody flavor that would remind us of those last few ball games of the year!.

Pumpkin-flavored beers are seem to be pretty popular around October!. Very Autumny!. Try spicing with just a little bit of cinnamon!.
That's my suggestion to you!. I'm sure you can look a little more into this on your own!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you like the flavor, you might try a Belgian style, with orange zest and coriander!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
