Halloween beer drinking tips

Grown-ups may like to behave like kids on Halloween, but they also like to drink adult beverages,

Our friends at the web site Chow have put out a video demonstrating how someone wearing a mask or a fake beard can drink beer without ruining their Halloween costume. Hint, it involves a straw.

Meanwhile the creative types at Magic Hat have once again put out a 12 pack of brews called Feast of Fools. It is slowly replacing another fall variety pack, " Night of the Living Dead." They are morbid brewers up there in Vermont.

Included in the Feast of Fools, but not in the Living Dead is a beer called Howl, described as a "black as night winter lager." It is available in six packs.

I had one over the weekend, It is 4.6 ABV, a pretty good dark beer. Halloween is a night many people like to howl, even those who sip their beer through a straw.

Do you have a special brew you sip on Halloween?

I had Howl over the weekend and was very pleased with it. It is a very drinkable dark beer. Not too heavy and quite refreshing.
