Don't be afraid of the scary good beers!
Don't be afraid of scary good beers
Boos and Brews-Halloween-themed Beers
By Angelo M. De Ieso II
Feeling like a hauntingly palatable devil’s brew to scare in the season?
Perhaps something creative that makes use of the harvest, like a spry fresh-hopped beer or maybe a spicy pumpkin brew. Perchance you desire something more devilishly delectable or cryptically crisp.
A number of handcrafted brewers produce morbidly mouthwatering beers suited perfectly for Hallows’ Eve. These beers should be available at Belmont Station or John’s Market.
Maudite: French for “The Damned,” this Belgian-styled Quebec brew made by Unibroue is dark and brawny (8 percent ABV) with a subtle coriander spiciness.
The label art reflects the Chasse-Galerie (the legend of the Flying Canoe), a tale about a group of woodsmen who make a deal with the devil in order to fly home in their canoes in time for New Year’s Eve.
Reaper Ale: Brewed by Green Flash of Vista, Calif., these eerily exemplary brews maintain a cryptic theme to all their styles, many of which are dark and stong like the Grim Reaper himself.
The legend of Reaper Ale is of a village brewer, his daughter and Death in a bizarre anecdote that uses beer as a temporary solution to the inescapable final fate.
The satirical yarn involves some of the brewery’s various offerings, such as Inevitable Ale, Redemption Red and the hellaciously hopped Sleighor Double IPA.
Bodysnatcher: Shefford, Bedfordshire, England’s B & T Brewery not only makes seasonal beers, but monthly beers in traditional cask ale styles to commemorate historical events and folk laws.
Their October/Halloween brew is bitter but very drinkable with three different malts and two rows of hops. The label on the beer depicts a ghostlike cartoon character peeking his nose out of a casket and asking, “Wot, no bodies?”
Dead Guy: One of Oregon’s most lauded breweries, Rogue began brewing this German-styled maibock in the early 1990s as a tribute to the Mayan Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos, aka All Souls’ Day, Nov. 2) for Portland’s Casa U Betcha restaurant.
With a creepily crispy malt presence, slightly candy caramel flavor and midnight purple hue, this gravely hopped brew quickly caught on and now is one of the brewery’s top sellers. The label depicts a grinning skeleton with a beehive on his head, sitting atop a barrel of beer while enjoying a mug.
While there are different histories of Halloween based upon varying cultural perspectives, it is often believed that this is the evening in which the dead and the living mingle.
Some embrace the notion that ghosts or spirits were embraced, while others pursue warding off such perceived nuisances.
For modern-day Americans, Halloween often is a great excuse to let our hair down and espouse our fears with friends and family. For beer enthusiasts, it is often another reason to try something bold and cold.

$510,000 Mortgage for Under $1,641/Month!
The $1,640.36 payment is based on the borrower selecting the minimum monthly payment option on a $510,000 adjustable first mortgage loan with an interest rate of 7.633%, a 7.584% APR. The monthly payment is fixed for the first 30 days and will adjust monthly thereafter. The minimum monthly payment option is calculated by amortizing the loan balance over the remaining term of the loan at an interest rate of 1.000%. By selecting this option, the loan has the potential for negative amortization. The minimum monthly payment option is subject to recasting every 5 years or if the principal balance reaches 110% of the original loan balance. The borrower also has the option of making an interest-only payment or making principal and interest payments amortized over either 15 or 30 years. For example, if the borrower selects to make principal and interest payments amortized over 30 years, the monthly payment will be $3,612.56. These terms are available for first mortgage loans. To qualify for this monthly payment, the property must be owner occupied single family residence and a loan-to-value ratio of 80%. Credit restrictions may apply. Rate is variable and subject to change daily without notice.
