Molly’s Spirits Shares Six Fall Beers to Buy this Labor Day Weekend

While nothing is exactly traditional these days, beer drinkers can typically count on Labor Day as the perfect time to shift from crisp Pilsners, session IPAs, and fruited Kettle Sours to maltier offerings like Oktoberfests, Porters, and yes, even Pumpkin beers.

To help us prepare for this seasonal shift, we spoke with Grant, the beer buyer at Molly’s Spirits, located at 5809 W 44th Ave, Denver, CO 80212 (Lakeside), and 8557 E Arapahoe Rd Unit A in Greenwood Village, CO, to share some of their recommendations for people to stock up for the three day holiday.

All of the following beers are available for purchase at Molly’s Spirits and be sure to order online to get beer delivered to your door.
