'Tis the Season -  Wouldn't be Fall without a Cinnamon Sugar Rim
Elevate Your Fall Sips: Why Our Cinnamon Sugar Rimmer is Your Fall Beer & Cider's Best Friend. Plus: Tips on How To Achieve the Perfect Cinnamon Sugar Rim at the End.

Sweater weather is officially upon us, and you know what that means: it's time to trade in the light summer spritzes for the rich, cozy, and spiced flavors of autumn. That means pumpkin beer, hard cider and the controversial but well liked new fall contender, apple beer…. all of which are incomplete without a cinnamon sugar rim!

Ready to upgrade your autumnal drinking experience? Here is your ultimate pairing guide.

Pumpkin beer, hard cider and apple beer are all incomplete without a cinnamon sugar rim.

The Garnish Guide

Hard Apple Cider: Apple Pie in a Glass


There is nothing quite like the crisp, tartness of a hard apple cider on a brisk afternoon. But when you coat the rim of your glass with our perfectly balanced Cinnamon Sugar Rimmer, you instantly transform a standard cider into a slice of apple pie in a glass.

Angry Orchard Crisp Apple

The bright, robust apple flavor of this classic cider perfectly complements the warm, sweet notes of our cinnamon sugar blend. Wipe the rim of your pint glass with a wedge of fresh apple, dip it generously into our rimmer, and pour.

Apple Beer: The Light & Crisp Twist


If you love the flavor of apples but prefer the drinkability and fizz of a traditional lager or light beer, apple beers are having a massive moment right now. These brews offer a subtle, fruity sweetness that absolutely begs for a spiced rim.

Busch Light Apple & Garage Beer Apple

You can't talk about apple beer without bowing down to the legendary Busch Light Apple. It's crisp, it's refreshing, and a cinnamon sugar rim gives it an undeniable gourmet upgrade. We are also huge fans of Garage Beer Apple—it's light, crushable, and the cinnamon sugar cuts through the clean finish perfectly. It turns a casual tailgate beer into a festive fall treat.

 

Pumpkin Beer: The Cozy Classic


Pumpkin beer is the undisputed king of autumn brewing. Brimming with notes of nutmeg, clove, and allspice, these beers are practically designed to be paired with our Cinnamon Sugar Rimmer. The rim acts as the "crust" to your liquid pumpkin pie.

Southern Tier Pumking & Whole Hog Pumpkin Ale

For a bold, imperial experience, look no further than Southern Tier's Pumking. It's rich, buttery, and heavily spiced; our rimmer amplifies its dessert-like qualities. If you want something that tastes like it was poured straight out of a magical tavern, Whole Hog Pumpkin Ale is a must-try. The toasted sugar and sweet cinnamon from our rimmer elevate the roasted malt profile of the beer beautifully.

 

The Perfect Pair

How to Achieve the Perfect Rim


Don't let a great beer go un-garnished! Getting the perfect rim is easy:

Method

Method

Moisten: Run a wedge of lemon, orange, or even a slice of apple along the outer edge of your favorite pint glass or snifter. (Pro-tip: For an extra sticky, sweet rim, use a dab of maple syrup or simple syrup).
Dip: Evenly dip the rim into a shallow plate of your Cocktail Garnish Co. Cinnamon Sugar Rimmer. Roll the glass gently to ensure an even, thick coat.
Pour: Carefully pour in your cider or beer of choice, and enjoy!
