Sip Into Fall With Grey Sail, South County, and Outer Light’s New Seasonal Lineup

There’s something about the first crisp day of fall that makes you want to grab a flannel, crunch a leaf or two, and pour yourself a drink that tastes like the season. Lucky for us, Westerly’s Grey Sail Brewing, their cocktail-crafting cousins at South County Distillers, and Groton’s Outer Light Brewing (with plenty of their brews pouring in Rhode Island too) have dropped their 2025 fall lineup. Think spice, malt, and a little bit of cozy in every sip. Here’s what to look for when stocking your fridge this season.

Grey Sail Brewing

Headless Oarsman Pumpkin Ale
This Sleepy Hollow–inspired ale is brewed with real pumpkin puree, plus cinnamon and clove for a flavor that’s just spooky enough. It’s malty, rich, and basically autumn in a can.

Autumn Winds
Grey Sail’s take on Oktoberfest brings malty, toasty notes with a smooth, balanced sweetness. It’s the kind of beer that belongs next to a pretzel bigger than your head.

South County Distillers

Cranberry Vodka Lemonade
Their popular hard lemonade gets a tart cranberry upgrade. It’s bright, refreshing, and built for sipping around the fire pit.

Whiskey Highball
Rye whiskey meets ginger, cranberry, and orange in this fizzy cocktail. It’s crisp, a little spicy, and dangerously easy to drink straight from the can.

Espresso Martini
Made in collaboration with Dave’s Coffee, this canned cocktail mixes cold-brewed espresso with vodka for a bold, smooth pick-me-up. Ideal for nights when you need a second wind.

Bourbon
South County’s small-batch bourbon is aged in charred American oak barrels and delivers a classic, full-bodied sip. Neat, on the rocks, or stirred into your favorite cocktail – it’s a winner either way.

Outer Light Brewing Company

Just Peachy Sour Ale
A peaches-and-cream sour ale that’s equal parts sweet and tart. It’s like holding onto summer while fully committing to fall.

Squash Goals Pumpkin Ale
Smooth and spiced with pumpkin puree, this ale is practically begging for a flannel-clad group selfie.

Fall Fest Märzen-Style Lager
Malty and toasty with a clean finish, this Oktoberfest-inspired lager is tailor-made for clinking steins and saying “Prost!”
