I got an invitation in the mail the other day to a party that will be held on Halloween night in New Orleans celebrating Dixie Brewing Co.’s 100th anniversary and toasting the efforts to “rebuild and rebeer America.” Hurricane Katrina whacked the brewery that makes Dixie Beer, a brew that is the Natty Boh of New Orleans, in August 2005. Since then, its beers have been brewed at Minhas Craft Brewery in Monroe, Wis.

Joe Falcone, the beer manager of Wells Discount Liquors on York Road, told me that 10 years ago he used to “sell the heck” out of Dixie’s Blackened Voodoo beer at Halloween. “It was a dark beer, smooth, not bad,” Falcone said. Falcone said he hasn’t seen Dixie beers in Maryland for years. Now he says the big seller at Halloween is Rogue’s Dead Guy Pale Ale. “It has luminous paint on the label and if you set it next to a light, it will glow for hours,” he said.

Any other scary beers out there?
