Hop season is still very much front and centre in box #79, with breweries continuing to make the most of the annual harvest while those vibrant hop characters are at their peak. You’ll find hoppy beers showing up in different forms this month, IPLs hazies, pale ales, and a crisp WC pilsner that keeps the whole lineup feeling lively and fresh.  But as the weather starts shifting, so does the mood of the box. Alongside the hop-forward beers, there’s a little more malt creeping in this month — a smooth nitro brown ale from Garage Project, plus the return of a classic stout from Parrotdog that feels right at home as the evenings get colder, with a bit more warmth and comfort.
