…also red, but no grey that I’m aware of.

John pointed me to this list of Halloween-themed cocktails on Dabbled, which makes a nice segue into Cobwebs’ Big List o’ Booze(tm) that I’ve been meaning to post.

I got married on Halloween, and one of the many bits of research I did involved finding thematic beer brands. That list is posted over at Halloweddings. I also served a couple of brands of hard cider and (it almost goes without saying) Vampire Wine.

If you’re looking for spirits for a Halloween party (or just to drink any time; what’s the point in being goth if you can’t be spooky at unexpected moments?), that list should give you a leg up. A few thematic beers that have popped up since I compiled the list include:

• Witches’ Brew Golden Ale – Wicked Wines Online
• Black Ghost – Brasserie Fantome
• Nosferatu – Great Lakes Brewing Co.
• WychCraft – Wychwood
• Evil Dead Red – Alesmith
• Li’l Devil – Alesmith
• Mortality Stout – ReaperAle
• Deathly Pale Ale – ReaperAle
• Ritual Dark – ReaperAle
• Ichabod – New Holland
• Halloween Ale – Gritty McDuff’s

Hard alcohol choices (besides absinthe, duh) would include Blavod, REDRUM, and Black Death Vodka.
