Visit These Myrtle Beach Joints for Fall Beer, Cocktails, and Coffee

The exchange from summer to fall flows with the right drinks.

 

Coffee, beer, and cocktails also change seasons, and you can find an awesome array in Myrtle Beach. Pumpkin spice everything dominates social media feeds. But many other flavors usher in cooler days. The results are delicious.

 

Here are some to look for this fall on the Grand Strand.

Fun Facts About Fall

It might feel as if autumn has kidnapped your summer fun as the days grow shorter. But there’s plenty of cool about fall, too.

 

Only Americans call it fall. It once was called harvest, and it began much later back in the 1300s. Poets wrote of “the fall of leaves, ” which led to the nickname fall.

 

The start dates vary. From Earth’s orbit of the sun, the equinox happens on Sept. 23 or 24. The start date is set as Sept. 1 for meteorology.

 

It’s famous for its food. This is prime season for apples, pears, squash, and sweet potatoes. What’s better than picking a fresh apple on a fall day and enjoying it right then?
