Last Leaf Maple, which is brewed with maple syrup, replaces Starr Hill’s Boxcar Pumpkin Porter seasonal, while Basketcase, which joins the brewer’s Heavy Rotation Series, is a play on a German Helles, made with Cascade hops. Both entries will be available in six-packs and on draft, and join the Northern Lights IPA and Whiter Shade White IPA labels in Starr Hill’s Fall Tour Variety Pack.
