If ever there was a time for drinking at home and supporting you favorite craft brewery…that time is now.
And we’ve five beer releases that pair smartly with staying safe and Netflix.
Visionary Variety (St Louis, MO) – One of the many drawbacks of the whole sheltering-in-place thing is a lack of variety that happens when you “lnstacart” a beer run. More times than not locked in to a six of this of a 4-pack of that…what you don’t get is variety. But Schlafly Hoptic Visions, a new sampler pack with four hop-forward beers, offers welcome VARIETY, as the days bleed together.
“The sampler pack showcases the versatility of hop-forward beers,” explains Schlafly Beer Brewer Stephen Hale. “Many think just of IPAs when it comes to hoppy beers, but we wanted to showcase how hops can enhance different styles as well as add different flavor profiles. These beers highlight everything from fruity and juicy hops to our sessionable IPA.”
And here’s what’s included…
Schlafly India Pale Ale (5.0% ABV): With a lower ABV than traditional IPAs, Schlafly’s year-round take on the style offers a sessional beer for both hopheads and newcomers alike. The Schlafly IPA features a hop blend to enhance tropical flavors and subtle notes of citrus.
Schlafly Hoppy Wheat Ale (5.0% ABV): Wheat brings a touch of haze with a hint of sweetness and combines with Mosaic and Amarillo hops that lend to abundant citrus flavor and aroma.
Schlafly India Pale Lager (5.5% ABV): Just because it’s a lager doesn’t mean it can’t feature strong hop flavors. Dry-hopped with Citra hops, India Pale Lager offers a crisp finish and a kick of tropical character.
Schlafly Hazy Pineapple IPA (4.5% ABV): This IPA is a trifecta of haze, hope and fruit. Pounds of experimental hops and pineapple refract off one another to create a juicy and golden brew with a long-lasting finish.
Lakewood Brewing Takes its Small Batch Series To Level 2 (Garland, TX) – Lakewood Brewing is upping the ante on its 2020 Small Batch Can Series, a line of IPAs with retro-game artwork, that ‘level up” with each release. Big, juicy, and immensely crushable, Lakewood Level 2: Temple Hop IPA is a 7.5% ABV India Pale Ale that is double dry-hopped with Amarillo, Citra and Azacca.
“I’m stupid excited about this series” said Wim Bens, Founder and President of Lakewood Brewing. “We challenge ourselves with making seriously fun beer every day and this series really delivers. For this series we celebrate all things hop.”
