Apple pie is one of autumn’s great joys. When the apples develop rosy cheeks and are so plump and ripe that they tumble from the tree at the slightest breeze, then baking season begins. Grandmothers across the country get ready to chop kilo after kilo of apples, dust them with cinnamon and sugar, and encase them in a buttery crust. The scent of baked apples wafts through the streets, awakening a feeling of nostalgia. The most common version of apple pie is made with shortcrust pastry, but you can also serve the delicious fruit with airy sponge cake, batter, or yeast dough. Warm spices and a velvety sweetness are essential in every recipe.

Anderson’s Brewery from Estonia embraces this autumnal specialty with its Sour Ale Applehoff. This liquid version of a classic apple pie combines the finest Granny Smith apples and Ceylon cinnamon with creamy lactose, two grains, and a lively 5.9% alcohol content to create a truly irresistible beer.

Anderson’s Applehoff pours a delicate, cloudy apple yellow into the glass, forming a fleeting wisp of foam. The aroma and flavor are a trip to Grandma’s kitchen: baked apple, fiery cinnamon notes, warm vanilla aromas, crisp, tart green apple, and buttery pie crust. A firm, full body perfectly rounds out the experience.
