EAST FALMOUTH - "More breweries represented. More beer to try." The Cape Cod Brew Fest returns to the Barnstable County Fairgrounds on Saturday and it's twice as big as last year with over 60 breweries and meaderies ready to pour. [Cape Cod Times]
MARTHA'S VINEYARD - Speaking of beer, "Be on the lookout for The Great Pumpkin beer from Offshore Ale Co. in the next month when they roast fresh sugar pumpkins in their wood-fired brick oven and toss them in their mash tun." With autumn in the air, The Martha's Vineyard Times rounds up all things pumpkin-flavored across the island. Non-beer drinkers have plenty of options as well: pumpkin cheesecake ice cream, pumpkin latte cupcakes with pumpkin butter cream frosting and more. [Martha's Vineyard Times]
