There’s something magical about seasonal beers. They tell stories of time, place, and mood — connecting the drinker to the season in a way no mass-produced lager ever could. At Howdy Brewery, we love crafting seasonal brews that capture the spirit of the moment — whether it’s the warmth of summer sunshine or the coziness of winter nights.
🌸 Spring: Fresh Starts and Floral Flavors
Spring is all about renewal — longer days, blooming flowers, and the return of outdoor gatherings. For brewers, it’s the perfect time to craft light and refreshing beers that reflect this fresh energy.
At Howdy Brewery, we often create spring ales with citrusy hops and floral notes — think subtle hints of orange blossom or lemon zest. These beers are crisp, balanced, and perfect for those first patio afternoons of the year.
Pair them with light foods like salads, seafood, or grilled vegetables to make your spring evenings unforgettable.
☀️ Summer: Bright, Fun, and Easy-Drinking
When temperatures rise, beer should refresh. Summer beers are all about drinkability — low bitterness, high refreshment, and often a touch of fruit.
Our Howdy Summer Lager and Mango Wheat Ale are two seasonal favorites. The lager offers a clean, thirst-quenching taste, while the wheat ale brings in tropical fruit sweetness without being heavy.
These beers are designed for barbecues, beach days, and rooftop nights — easy to enjoy, yet full of flavor.
🍂 Autumn: Spices, Amber, and Comfort
As leaves turn golden and the air cools, beer lovers start craving richer flavors. Autumn is the season for amber ales, brown ales, and spiced brews that bring warmth and comfort.
We craft our Howdy Harvest Ale using toasted malts and subtle caramel tones, complemented by hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s like autumn in a glass — smooth, comforting, and slightly nostalgic.
Pair it with roasted meats, hearty stews, or pumpkin dishes for a truly seasonal feast.
❄️ Winter: Dark, Bold, and Warming
Winter beers are big, bold, and built for cozy nights. Think stouts, porters, and winter warmers that pack rich flavors of coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt.
Our Howdy Winter Stout is brewed to be savored slowly — thick, creamy, and layered with cocoa and vanilla undertones. Perfect for sitting by the fire or pairing with dessert.
For special occasions, we sometimes age a portion of our winter batch in whiskey barrels, creating a complex, slightly smoky finish that beer enthusiasts adore.
🌞 The Rhythm of the Year in a Glass
Seasonal brewing keeps things exciting — both for us and for our customers. It encourages experimentation, creativity, and a deep connection with nature’s cycles.
By aligning our beers with the seasons, we bring variety and anticipation to the craft. No two seasons are ever the same, and neither are our brews.
So whether you’re sipping a bright summer ale or a dark winter stout, you’re tasting more than beer — you’re tasting the flavor of the season, brewed with care and passion.
