Fall Beer Pairings

Social Project Co. Brews To Enhance Signature Autumn Experiences

1. Bonfire Nights - Sweet Dreams

As you embrace the long awaited autumn breeze, and the sounds of crunching leaves and crackling bonfires becomes your evening soundtrack, there’s no better brew to enhance your fireside experience than Social Project’s Sweet Dreams Stout. Its cinnamon roll flavors, including cream cheese frosting and cinnamon sticks, will have you melting into fall’s bonfire nights feeling content and cozy.  "It'll taste like you're drinking a liquified cinnamon roll,” says Owner, Chris Spence. “Our stouts are brewed to have a full, thicker creamier body."

2. Trick or Treating - Darkshines Sour

Following weeks of costume planning and hours of chaperoning mini princesses and superheroes in search of the perfect candy prize, the kids are fast asleep and you’re about to enjoy your secret Halloween ritual. Tiptoeing to the candy stash, you make your sugary selection, but not before grabbing the perfect beverage to pair with your secret sweet: Social Project’s Darkshines Sour. This black currant and vanilla sour embodies the flavors of the fall!

3. Tailgating - Czechmate

Tailgating is a quintessential fall experience, where the rituals of grilling and gathering becomes a generational tradition that runs deep. While the sounds of marching bands and chanting crowds fill the background, and the aroma of sizzling burgers and smoky ribs fills the air, it’s time to pour a glass of the good stuff: Social Project’s Czechmate Lager. According to Spence, Czechmate is a heavier lager that pairs well with meat and has enough full flavor that you can enjoy a few without losing interest.

4. Fall Hike - HAZE-TOBERFEST

A fall hike in the Ozark Mountains is a feast for the senses. The vibrant autumn leaves create a breathtaking mosaic of reds, oranges, and golds against rugged landscape with expansive views. As you embark on one of Arkansas’ iconic fall adventures, enjoying the woodsy smells and crisp air, be sure to pack Social Project’s HAZE-TOBERFEST. “This is our uniquely American take on the amazing German Oktoberfest ritual,” Spence said. “This double hazy will be full in flavor with a little residual sweetness, and remain incredibly drinkable just like its German counterparts. However, it will be juicy and stuffed full of American hops to go with it!”

5. Cozy Fall Vibes -  3500 Miles to Lima

As the sticky heat of Arkansas' summer fades, the arrival of cooler temperatures is a welcome embrace. We're all ready to put on our soft layers, watch movies by the fire, and enjoy the comforting smells of our favorite seasonal treats like pumpkin pie and caramel apples. As you settle in to those iconic fall cozies, grab one of Social Project's seasonal IPA's. "3500 Miles to Lima is an International collab with our friends at Two Broders in Lima Peru! It's full bodied, and thicker, with a lot of flavor."
