The nights are getting longer and colder, which is exactly when a darker beer earns its spot in the fridge. This week we went malty: toasty, roasty and a little spiced, the kind of cans that pair with chili on game day or a slow Sunday dinner.
Whatever your reason for reaching for an NA beer, here are four rich ones worth trying this week. Each one is a single can, so mix them into a Build Your Own 12-Pack and taste your way through the dark side of the shelf.
Best Day Oktoberfest
Marzen, Oktoberfest · $4.49 a can
A classic Märzen-style Festbier with a warm amber glow, malty aroma and a subtly sweet body balanced by a light hop touch, finishing smooth and crisp. Best Day brews this one as a limited-time seasonal, so grab it while the season lasts. It's a natural fit next to bratwurst, pretzels or a weekend of football.

1820 Brewing Stand Up & Stout
Dark · $3.99 a can
1820 Brewing builds this stout on malted barley, roasted barley, malted wheat and rolled oats, with Nugget, East Kent Golding and Fuggles hops for earthy, lightly bitter notes. It's medium-bodied with a mild sweetness and a smooth roasted finish, rich without being heavy. Pour one with dessert or by the fire on a cold night.

Ceebo Mexican Style Amber with Lime
Amber · $4.99 a can
Ceebo's amber cerveza brings dark roasted malt and toffee notes, brightened by a hint of lime. It's a session-friendly way into darker beers if you usually reach for something lighter. Line it up with tacos or anything off the grill.

Go Brewing F*k'in Pum'kin
Pumpkin · $4.49 a can
Go Brewing skips the gimmicks here: real pumpkin purée with cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, allspice and ginger for a smooth, spiced fall beer. It's a limited-edition seasonal, so it won't be around forever. Save one for pumpkin pie or the Thanksgiving run-up.
