Greater Lansing boasts over 15 breweries who are ready to usher in the cool weather with fall infused Michigan beer. Our craft breweries offer all things fall, from traditional Märzen style lagers to syrupy stouts to pumpkin inspired ales. Below are some of our seasonal favorites. Cheers!

Oktoberfest Beer

Traditionally served at the Munich Oktoberfest in Germany, this brew has become a staple for the autumn season. You’ll find many great local examples of Oktoberfest in Lansing's breweries.

Pumpkin Beer

All things pumpkin dominate the fall season and while most pumpkin beers don't necessarily contain pumpkin, it's the spices like cinnamon and nutmeg that remind us of tasty pumpkin pies.

Porters and Stouts

When fall sets in, the citrusy shandies are replaced in favor of darker brews. Porters are known for a chocolate or caramel-like flavor, while Stouts tend to have more of a coffee-flavor and fuller body.

Hard Cider

No, it’s not beer, but it's the perfect alternative to the seasonal malty brews and a gluten free option!
