Halloween is finally here, and while we tipped you off to a bunch of Halloween-appropriate beers a couple of weeks ago, it’s hard to contain our enthusiasm for this particular holiday. Because it’s the only time of the year when you’re allowed to put on a mask and bug your neighbors for food. Also, you’re walking, so you might as well discreetly carry a beer or two. So here are nine more beers perfect for Halloween. Get spooky.
1 of 9
Elysian Great Pumpkin
An imperial pumpkin ale that promises to be intensely pumpkin, so this isn't one for the faint of heart. Too much pumpkin? Check out one of Elysian's other, more subtle pumpkin beers.

Green Man Thriller
Greatest Halloween song ever. Right? So it deserves its own beer. Thanks Green Man.

Lompoc Monster Mash
Portland's Lompoc releases this imperial porter every year. It's 8% with notes of chocolate and coffee. Perfect for Halloween night.
4 of 9
Iron Horse Mocha Death
Take Iron Horse's standard Irish Death, a caramel-heavy ale, and add cocoa and espresso and you get Mocha Death.
5 of 9
Block 15 Story of the Ghost IPA
It's a really good, fruity IPA with a fun ghostly backstory that Pinetooth Press turned into a mini comic book.
6 of 9
B.Nektar Devil's Juice
Okay, it's not a beer, but damn, how spooky is this label? Plus, B.Nektar makes some solid meads, if you're into that sort of thing. And Halloween seems to be the special occasion that calls for stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something like this honey pineapple wine that incorporates chili peppers. Right?
7 of 9
Short's Brewing Double Magician
You know what's better than one magician? Two magicians. Short's is releasing this double version of their staple The Magician on Halloween. It's an 8.1% double London-style Red.
8 of 9
Stillwater Artisanal Ales Fear of Ghosts
First of all, this is a legitimately scary label. My kids would cry if they saw this beer in the fridge. And that's what Halloween's about, right? It's a smoked sour farmhouse wheat ale. Because this is Stillwater, after all.

Dry Dock Imperial Pumpkin
It's a big ass pumpkin beer with a pirate/skeleton on the label. Yeah, Halloween. And it's 9%, and in big 22-ounce bottles, so you probably only need one for trick or treating.
