October brings cooler days, golden afternoons, and the perfect excuse to slow down and savor your favorite beverage. Whether you’re planning a cozy night in, sharing a toast with friends, or kicking back after a long week, we’ve got the right beer, wine, and spirits to match the mood.
This month we’re featuring a seasonal Munich-style Dunkel, a medium-bodied Pinotage wine, and a coffee liquor with a kick.
October Beer, Wine, and Liquor of the Month
Mast Landing’s Impossible Shapes is our October Beer of the Month. This Munich-style Dunkel is brewed with traditional German ingredients, offering a rich, malt-forward flavor that pays homage to the timeless recipes savored in Bavarian villages in days of yore. Take a sip and you’ll notice a smooth, malty backbone with notes of fresh baked bread and caramel. As you dive deeper into the abyss, you’ll discover hints of chocolate and a subtle nuttiness, all balanced by the slightest bitterness on the finish. Impossible Shapes clocks in at 4.5%, and 16 oz 4-pack cans are available for $10.99.
Our October Wine of the Month is MAN Family Wines Pinotage. This medium-bodied wine is made from Pinotage, a South African grape variety that’s a cultivated cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault. Pinotage offers aromas of mocha, ripe plums, and coffee beans, with flavors of red berries, nutmeg, and vanilla spice on the palate. It has a lush, medium body and a rounded mouthfeel. Pick up a bottle for only $9.99.
Mr Black Cold Brew is our October Liquor of the Month. Crafted for coffee lovers, Mr Black Cold Brew is a bittersweet masterpiece of big flavor, balanced sweetness, and features an enduring coffee kick. Australian wheat vodka and a touch of cane sugar give it structure while letting the coffee shine through. Enjoy on the rocks or in cocktails. 750ml bottles are available for $29.99 — that’s $3 off the regular price!
