Did you know Halloween is one of the biggest drinking days of the year? Scary, huh? But let's be honest, for most of us, we reach a certain age where our inhibitions have to be chemically lowered to get into costume. Still, if you're going to be dressed like an idiot, you might as well drink smart, so this week I present a list of the top Halloween beers.And yes, I realize despite being the Slashfood Ate (8), this list has ten beers. Don't blame me, the list was compiled by DRAFT Magazine. They're not constricted by our pun, and I'd hate to leave people wondering what the last two beers were. I did however shorten the descriptions out of respect for the living. To read the full list, check out DRAFT Magazine's September/October issue.
