Before the temperatures cool, pumpkin spice takes over the land, and football teams are in mid-year form, October marks the beginning of the fall craft beer season in Alachua County. Sippin’ Seven Ale Trail craft breweries are a perfect location to catch the game, celebrate Oktoberfest activities, and to spend time with friends before or after signature events like Tom Petty Weekend, FEST 21 and the Downtown Gainesville Festival and Art Show.
