Outdoor Fall Adventures Paired with Stranahan’s American Single Malt Whiskey
Whiskey is the perfect companion for all the outdoor fall adventures you get up to. Stranahan’s American Single Malt Whiskey is there to enhance and elevate the experience whenever you need inspiration or an instrument of celebration.
Here are a few of what we think are the best fall things to do in Colorado.
- Hiking
There’s no better scenery than what we have right in our backyard. Fall is the perfect time to hike near Denver. It’s neither too hot nor too cold, and there are plenty of trails for hikers of all skill levels. Red Rocks Mountain Park, Brainard Lake, Emerald Lake, and the Flatirons are nearby. Don’t forget to bring a backpack with water, snacks, and a flask filled with Stranahan’s Original to enjoy a break during a scenic outlook on your hike! We recommend you wear layered clothing so you can adjust as the weather changes. If you are looking for some stylish t-shirts or cozy pullovers, we got you covered!
- Picnic at the park
If you prefer to stay close to home, pack a picnic and head to the park for a mini midday vaycay. Include some of these fall food suggestions to pair perfectly with Stranahan’s Blue Peak Single Malt Whiskey:- Smoked salmon with crème fraîche and blinis
- BLTs (use the best thick-sliced bacon you can find)
- Apple pie
- Aged cheddar or blue cheese, charcuterie
- Charred corn on the cob
- Top-quality dark chocolate
- Smoked baby back ribs (For the ribs, you can’t go wrong with Stranahan’s Wild Buff Colorado Style BBQ Sauce!)
- Make a delicious fall cocktail
Whiskey cocktails thrive when mixed with fall flavors. Try making an old-fashioned with maple syrup instead of sugar, or create a fall-inspired cocktail using 2oz of Stranahan’s Sherry Cask, fresh-pressed apple juice, a few drops of amontillado sherry, and garnish with a sprig of sage. - Go stargazing in the backyard
Grab a cozy blanket and head out to the backyard. Stay warm with a hot toddy, made with 2oz of Stranahan’s Cask Strength, a tablespoon of honey, and topped with hot water and a slice of lemon. - Rent a cabin in the mountains
Fall is the perfect season to head out to the mountains for some fresh air and good times in nature. Clear mountain streams, barbeques, bonfires, and nights under the big sky will remind you what life is all about. Don’t forget to pack your wood and gunmetal cocktail set, high camp flask, and a couple of bottles of your favorite Stranahan’s American Single Malt. - Tailgate party
Football fans know there’s nothing like a tailgate party to fire up fall excitement! Pack a cooler full of delicious things to throw on the grill, fuel up the ‘que with charcoal or propane, and lay in a supply of Stranahan’s Single Malts, mixers, and ice enough to satisfy your crowd and make a few new friends in the process. Check out some of our cocktail recipes and think about pre-batching your favorites for easy pouring. We’ve got hot and cold cocktail suggestions, so you’re covered for any kind of weather. - Take a Distillery Tour
Fall is beautiful in Denver. If you are in the area, make sure to stop by Stranahan’s for a whiskey distillery tour. Our tours are the perfect fall activity for any whiskey lover, so gather up the gang and head on over. During your visit, you’ll discover the Stranahan’s origin story, learn how great American Single Malt Whiskey is made, and (best of all) taste our range to put what you’ve learned into perspective.
