Today I’m making beer cocktails that capture the tasty flavors of fall! This time each year I enjoy sipping on a beer while watching football (American football for the international viewers), so I thought let's use some of that beer in a cocktail or three. Each drink calls for a different style of beer (porter/stout, IPA, Oktoberfest), but of course feel free to experiment with some of your favorite brews. This is a good opportunity to support our local breweries. So go out there, grab some brews and add some booze (responsibly of course). Cheers, everyone!
