With Thanksgiving goes football, and with football goes beer.  So, what beer goes with Thanksgiving?  

I consulted my local expert,  Sharon Sevrens, proprietor of Montclair's Amanti Vino.  The team at Amanti put their heads together, and here are their top five suggestions for beer on Thanksgiving.
