Stout: A Comforting Classic for Autumn Nights

As summer bids farewell, a new season unfolds in Switzerland, bringing with it a shift in beer preferences. The days of craving a light lager are behind us. Ahead lie cooler evenings and indoor gatherings, perfect for savouring the richness of craft beer.

Craft beer, produced in smaller batches by independent brewers, offers superior quality compared to mainstream options. This autumn, let's explore some beer styles that shine in the cooler months.

Stouts are ideal for fall, boasting a comforting richness that warms you up on chilly nights. These dark brews, with their roasted notes of coffee, chocolate, and toasted bread, come in various types.

Dry stouts, like Guinness, offer a smooth experience with subtle bitterness. Milk stouts add a touch of sweetness with lactose. For the adventurous, imperial stouts deliver high alcohol content and intense flavours. Serve them slightly warmer to fully appreciate their complex profiles.

A touch of vanilla and a Celtic origin for a dark beer as invigorating as a rainbow after the rain. Roasted notes and a caramelized sweetness to melt chocolate and coffee lovers.
