Drawing: "Let's Get It On" beer/food event at City Beer Hall featuring Kent Falls and Grimm Artisanal
Drawing's closed! Winner's been emailed!
The City Beer Hall has an event coming up September 12 that's a different spin on a beer dinner: "Let's Get It On" will feature beers from Kent Falls Brewing Company and Grimm Artisanal Ales, a range of food stations and passed hors d'oeuvres, and R&B karaoke.
We have a pair of tickets to the party and we're giving them away. To enter, please answer this question in the comments:
What's something local that you're looking forward to eating or drinking this fall?
Could be a specific type of apple from a specific orchard. Could be a type of drink. Could be whatever. We'll draw one winner at random -- that person gets the pair of tickets.
The event at City Beer Hall is Monday, September 12 starting at 6 pm. Tickets are $65 each or two for $120. They include six beer pours, as well as food from the various stations and passed hors d'oeuvres (there's a menu after the jump if you're curious).
Kent Falls Brewing Company is a farm brewery in Connecticut (it grows its own hops), and Grimm Artisanal Ales is a "nomadic brewery" based in Brooklyn.
This is a 21-and-over event.
Important: All comments must be submitted by 11:59 pm on Wednesday, September 7, 2016 to be entered in the drawing. You must answer the question to be part of the drawing. (Normal commenting guidelines apply.) One entry per person, please. You must enter a valid email address (that you check regularly) with your comment. The winner will be notified via email by noon on Thursday and must respond by noon on Friday, September 9.

I can't wait to have wings at McGeary's on Sundays with my fellow Buffalo Bills fans as part of the yearly tradition of disappointment at yet another year without a Super Bowl win. They are the closest thing to an actual wing from Buffalo that I've had here in the Capital Region.
The fellow fans, as always are the best part. RIP Byron, maybe this year will be the year (fingers crossed).

Cider donuts! Cider donuts! Cider donuts!
Sure, with Cider Belly in town you can get great cider donuts any time of year. But there's just something special about getting one at an orchard, still warm from the fryer, with a cup of fresh-pressed cider alongside. Mmm.

After what seems to be a dearth of local apples available in the stores over the past few months (no doubt in part due to difficult storage in this hot and humid summer!), I am REALLY looking forward to getting some fresh, local apples!
... said Jen OT on Sep 6, 2016 at 11:49 AM | link
Of course I'm looking forward to eating an apple picked fresh off a tree at Indian Ladder Farms.
Also, the butternut squash/black bean combo soup from Mexican Radio - it's fantastic.

I've already got my ticket to this event, but I just wanted to answer the question.
Our family apple picking tradition brings us to Indian Ladder Farm. This fall I'm looking forward to that experience now including beer from the farm's new brewery!
Like Kent Falls, ILF grows its own hops too. So exciting.

I'm looking forward to the apple cider doughnuts at the Carrot Barn, a locally sourced produce store located in scenic Schoharie Valley. Antiquing and hiking in the area are also great!
I recommend hiking Vroman's Nose to get a bird's eye view of Schoharie Valley and the beautiful fall foliage, and once you've worked up an appetite stop at the Carrot Barn for a sandwich and a doughnut. Yum!

Hot Spiced Cider is always an Autumn favorite, especially paired with a pumpkin cookie with vanilla cream cheese frosting - perfect for an afternoon outside with a nice Fall breeze!

cider donuts for me, too.

All of it. I bombed my chances this summer of utilizing fresh local fruits and veggies as much as normal. I'm not letting that happen for the fall too. It's too good. So lots of cooking and baking. Local apples and cider donuts for sure.

Fresh warm cider donuts on a chilly morning.
