It’s National Cinnamon Crescent Day. Weird, right? How is this baked good not celebrated in the fall? The crescent-shaped dough is filled with sugar, cinnamon, and butter, then rolled, shaped, and baked to a golden-brown deliciousness. Jerry Seinfeld puts it perfectly in the Seinfeld episode “The Dinner Party.” He says, “People love cinnamon. It should be on tables at restaurants along with salt and pepper. Anytime anyone says, ‘Oh, this is so good. What’s in it?’ the answer invariably comes back: cinnamon. Cinnamon. Again, and again.” Peaks & Pints celebrates National Cinnamon Crescent Day, the only way we know how — with beers brewed with cinnamon. Please stop by our craft beer bar, bottle shop, and restaurant and enjoy a flight of cinnamon beers named Peaks & Pints Beer Flight: Cinnamon.

Peaks & Pints Beer Flight: Cinnamon

AleSmith Barrel-Aged Speedway Stout: Coffee Cake Edition

12.67% ABV

Fat Orange Cat Roll Me One of Those, Cowboy, with Maple Syrup, Cinnamon & Vanilla

13% ABV

(Vincent takes out his tobacco pouch and begins rolling himself a smoke as Mia gets a cigarette out of her pack. She sees Vincent rolling one and starts watching him. She then puts hers back in the pack.)

MIA: Could you, um, roll me one of those, cowboy? (As he finishes licking it)

VINCENT: You can have this one, cowgirl.

(He hands her the rolled smoke. She takes it, putting it to her lips. Out of nowhere appears a Zippo lighter in Vincent’s hand. He lights it.)

MIA: Thanks.

VINCENT: Think nothing of it. (He begins rolling one for himself.)

Can you guess the name origin of this Fat Orange Cat Brew imperial stout, which has unique and robust flavors created by a generous amount of maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, and a big specialty grain bill?

Hubbard’s Cave Barrel Aged Bananas Foster

13% ABV

Born on the near west side of downtown Chicago in 2013, Une Année was founded by Chicago native Jerry Nelson. Une Année — “One Year” in French — set out to make fine Belgian-inspired ales. Soon, with the help of Jerry’s brother, David, they expanded to include sour beers, and then, in 2015, they launched their sister brewery, Hubbard’s Cave, which pays homage to the “Hubbard Street” traffic tunnel on I-90/94 located near the brewery’s original location. While Une Année leans toward Belgian styles, Hubbard’s Cave brings a distinctly American perspective to the craft beer scene, particularly with its big, bold imperial stouts. The craft masters at Hubbard’s Cave load their beer version of Bananas Foster to the brim with banana, cinnamon, maple, and vanilla to recreate the caramelization that comes from lighting the classic New Orleans dessert on fire. Then, they pumped up the body with creamy milk sugar — taming the imperial stout’s heat like a dollop of ice cream — and barrel-aged it until it took on complex oaky nuances, vanilla flavor, and a ribbon of sticky bourbon.

American Solera We’re On A Roll

14% ABV

Mmm. Cinnamon roll barleywine for breakfast … American Solera’s We’re On A Roll is a thick, syrupy barleywine-style ale aged 36 months in Buffalo Trace Bourbon barrels with cinnamon rolls, cinnamon, and vanilla for big maple, cinnamon, and booze notes without being sticky-sweet.

Fremont 2024 The Rusty Nail

14.1% ABV

Fremont Brewing’s The Rusty Nail begins as their The First Nail, an oatmeal stout of epic proportions with brewer’s licorice, smoked barley, and pale malt. It is then aged on cinnamon bark for 15 months in 12-year-old bourbon barrels for layers of dark cocoa and spice atop a finely tuned whiskey profile.
