Sure, Halloween is tomorrow, but after tackling both pumpkin beers and beers with spooky names, Slashfood Ate Beer Edition is looking ahead to the next big event on the horizon: Election Day.We're only a weekend away from one of the most historic elections anyone can remember. Maybe you've worked extra hard to support your candidate. Or maybe you've worked extra hard trying to avoid all the media madness. Either way, on Tuesday, do your civic duty, go out and vote, and then take a moment to blow off some steam. It's been an extra long election season: You deserve it.
- Polling stations close first in Indiana and Kentucky. IndianaBeer.com lists over 20 breweries where you can start the celebration. The pickin's are a bit more slim in Kentucky, but why not give Kentucky Ale a try.
