Liebesnest Festbier

Shippingport Brewing Co.

Brewed for the Oktoberfest season, their take on this traditionally slightly malty, stronger lager is crisp & refreshing with a bolder, fruity hop character. Still a mild, imminently drinkable lager, just ever so much more robust.

Pumpkin and chocolate chips blended into a frozen latte, topped with pumpkin whip cream and chocolate chips.

8 of 20

Switchboard

The "Upstate" at Switchboard is a perfect fall drink that embraces the warmth of bourbon as the weather turns cold.

S’mores Cold Brew

Safai Coffee

Mocha hazelnut cold brew and toasted marshmallow cold foam, topped with cookie crumble.

12 of 20

Pumpkin Sp-IPA

Shippingport Brewing Co.

IPA w/pumpkin spice. It may sound counter-intuitive, but a boldly fruity IPA infused with vanilla, orange, ginger, nutmeg & a hint of cinnamon & clove is delicious. Not sweet, but still somehow slightly rich & decadent.

13 of 20

Salted Caramel Butterscotch Latte

Safai Coffee

Creamy caramel sauce, butterscotch, and flaky salt – a delicious candied latte.

14 of 20

Raven's Wing Schwarzbier

Shippingport Brewing Co.

Raven's Wing Schwarzbier is dark as any stout, but, as a black lager, extremely light in body and very crisp. All the roasty, chocolatey goodness remains, but the chewiness is replaced by a mild dark breadiness and a very mild, coffee-like finish.

15 of 20

Blueberry Pie Latte

Safai Coffee

Frozen spiced brown sugar latte, topped with whip cream and house blueberry pie filling.

16 of 20

Oktoberfiesta Festbier

Shippingport Brewing Co.

Oktoberfiesta Festbier is infused with orange, lime & habanero to take the 'festivities' to the next level by pumping up the fruitiness & adding a zing of heat.

Frozen Calicozy Frappe

Purrfect Day Cat Cafe

Sip on this yummy fall creation while you pet some sweet kitties. It features a frozen blend of pumpkin, vanilla, and honey syrups with a dash of pumpkin pie spice. Topped with whipped cream.
