"Here's a wild card on the Halloween list: a lemon-hazy IPA that uses horror theme branding to good effect. According to its description: "Brewed with predacious amounts of oat and pilsner malt, fresh meyer lemon zest and a maniacal amount of Amarillo, Mosaic and NZ Motueka hops ... Notes of supernatural citrus, blood stained everything, sharp knives and inside-out William Shatner masks." It clocks in at 6.66 % ABV."
"Lending a hint of theatricality, this beer is tied to a haunted‐attraction experience and embraces the spooky side of fall. While I couldn't find full specs, its marketing says: "Just in time for the Halloween season ... a beer that not only captures the essence of the season but ... embodies the thrilling, hair-raising experience." (via the brewery) This beer joins the list to highlight a more theatrical style of Halloween craft brew"

Wallenpaupack Brewing's Reaper's Revenge blends blood orange and pomegranate and ties to a haunted-attraction experience for a theatrical, hair-raising flavor profile. Appalachian Brewing Company's Batch No. 666 uses a devilish name, dark-bronze color and a massive malt bill to evoke classic Halloween flair. The selections prioritize bold branding and seasonal twists.
