As the nights get colder, warm up your core with a fall beer and whiskey around the campfire with your friends. A few of our favorite Michigan breweries are releasing their fall beer flavors for 2024, and our crew decided to share a few ideas about which Flying Ace Whiskey flavors would be tastiest alongside them. Gather your ride-or-dies around the pool table and try these fall beers with pours of Flying Ace for an epic night.
Best Fall Beers Paired with Pours of Flying Ace Whiskey
Screamin’ Pumpkin
FLYING ACE CINNAMON WHISKEY
This spice-centric pumpkin ale is a sweet, malty brew perfect for the colder weather. A combination of fall spices and the pumpkin base, creating what Griffin Claw Brewing Co. calls “a slice of pumpkin pie in a beer can.” If you haven’t had enough fall spices after this beer, follow it up with a pour of Flying Ace Cinnamon Whiskey; you’ll be in the fall mood quicker than people rush to get a pumpkin spice latte.
Octoberfest
FLYING ACE BLACK CHERRY WHISKEY
Not a fan of pumpkin? No problem! This fall beer has spices like nutmeg and cinnamon with hints of caramel. This silky smooth drink from Bell’s Brewery pairs well with a pour of Flying Ace Black Cherry Whiskey, a tart bourbon that balances out the spices of this Octoberfest beer with a touch of sweetness.
Ultimate Oktoberfest
FLYING ACE CARAMEL CORN WHISKEY
Founders Brewery added richness and warmth to the traditional German ale using bourbon barrels. Flavors of bourbon, caramel, sweet bread, and spices create a fascinating blend of fall flavors. Sweeten the deal with Flying Ace Caramel Corn Whiskey, a delicious blend of caramel and buttered popcorn sure to extend the night’s adventures into the next day.
Ichabod
FLYING ACE STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY
This pumpkin-based beer from New Holland Brewery blends with barley, cinnamon, and nutmeg to create an ideal fall drink. This simple but delicious approach to a great fall beer is complemented by the notes of vanilla, rye, stone fruit and caramel in our own Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Alternate between sips of Ichabod and pours of Flying Ace Straight Bourbon Whiskey for a classic, can’t-go-wrong type of night.
Bonfire Brown
FLYING ACE PEACH BOURBON WHISKEY
The dichotomy between sweet and smoky should never be underestimated. Just like the name suggests, Saugatuck Brewing’s Bonfire Brown is the epitome of a fall beer. With hints of caramel, spices, and a pinch of smoke, this brown ale is reminiscent of the morning after a bonfire. Add some sweetness by pairing it with Flying Ace Peach, our classic whiskey with notes of ripe peaches.
