Believe it or not, fall is here. Fortunately, there are plenty of breweries across Monmouth and Ocean counties putting out terrific seasonal brews that will ease the transition out of summer.

Here are seven local craft beers to try this autumn:

Mr. Oktoberfest, Icarus Brewing Co., Lakewood

Icarus Brewing Co. in Lakewood got a head start on fall festivities by releasing Mr. Oktoberfest at the beginning of September.

This is a rich-yet-refreshing German-style marzen made with Munich malts and hybrid lagered, with bright cherry notes. It’s the perfect beer for embracing fall while not being fully ready to say goodbye to warmer weather.

Mama's Table, Backward Flag Brewing Co., Forked River

Combining the comforts of home cooking with the creativity of great craft brewing, Backward Flag Brewing Co. of Forked River’s fall seasonal, Mamas Table, returns this week.

The ale combines whole roasted sweet potatoes, vanilla and cinnamon for a singular brew that’s one of the most enjoyably complex and inventive beers you’re likely to try this season.
