Gritty McDuff’s Brewing Company (www.grittys.com) has shipped out its popular Halloween Ale so that we can all celebrate our favorite spooky holiday the Gritty way.

One of the most anticipated annual beer releases, this seasonal favorite will be available through October 31st.

An Extra Special Bitter (ESB), full-bodied brew that’s perfect for crisp autumn days, Gritty’s Halloween Ale features a deep amber color, a bold, malty palate and a well-rounded hop finish.

“Halloween Ale is our most popular seasonal beer at Gritty’s,” said Gritty’s Vice President and Master Brewer Ed Stebbins.? “When the cooler weather comes around, we all start eating heartier fall foods, and Gritty’s Halloween Ale makes the perfect compliment. It pairs nicely with grilled steaks, chicken and barbecue as well as with a great gourmet-style burger. It also goes well with stews and soups.”

Halloween Ale is available in 6- and 12-packs of 12-oz bottles, 22-oz bottles, 5-liter mini kegs, and on draft and can be found locally at:
