3. CBC - The Cambridge Brewing Company has "Great Pumpkin Ale" right now

We just had two 100 Oz towers there for lunch.

The brews are great but skip the food, though, it is gawdawful.

2. I love the ales these guys offer:

Real Ale Brewing

Brewhouse Brown Ale

Caramel brown with a hint of chocolate, Brewhouse Brown melds four kinds of malt and American hops into a delicious dark ale. Rich and roasty, yet with a dry finish, it is the perfect companion for a hearty meal.

ABV: 5.40%
IBU: 33.00
OG (plato): 13.00


Rio Blanco Pale Ale

Deep golden and malty, with a spicy hop flavor and well balanced hop bitterness, Rio Blanco is a uniquely Texan interpretation of an English-style pale ale. Czech Saaz hops provide a crisp finish and delicate aroma.

ABV: 5.30%
IBU: 26.00
OG (plato): 12.50


Full Moon Pale Rye Ale

Tawny red and full of malt and hops, Full Moon's unique flavor truly satisfies. The smooth sweetness of malted rye and barley is complemented by generous helpings of Willamette and Cascade hops, resulting in an assertive American amber ale.

ABV: 5.70%
IBU: 42.00
OG (plato): 14.00


Firemans #4 Blonde Ale

This refreshing blonde ale strikes a perfect balance between the smoothness of the malt, the subtle fruitiness of our house ale yeast, and zesty citrus notes from Crystal hops. Firemans #4 is a great way to beat the heat - enjoy it on a Texas summer day, or pair it with spicy foods to help put out the fire. The name comes from our good friends at Firemans Texas Cruzer, a local bike builder. Check out their rad bikes at firemansbikes.com

ABV: 5.10%
IBU: 21.00
OG (plato): 12.00


ESB

Real Ale ESB pours a deep copper color and has an enticing aroma of fruit and caramel, with a subtle earthiness. A medium-bodied ale, our ESB showcases the fruitiness of our house yeast, along with the rich toffee flavors of English crystal malt. Added complexity is provided by a generous amount of English hops. Real Ale ESB finishes slightly dry with a mild spiciness that beckons another pint.

ABV: 5.50%
IBU: 40.00
OG (plato): 13.50
