Although drinking is on the rise and celebrations, as we knew them, have been canceled during this breathtakingly terrible year, there’s nothing stopping you from pouring a märzen and making one of these dishes at home.

You will appreciate these fall comfort food dishes and snacks — like homemade pretzels you can serve with a variety of mustards, or two variations on schnitzels, with one to please vegetarian cravings. If you’re really into beer and you’ve got your bread baking down, perhaps the baking-with-beer cookbook may speak to you. Take pleasure in small things. Enjoy the switch from summer to fall foods.
