Winter is ON. And American craft brewers are addressing the season with a full slate of new beer offerings you’re gonna want have around.

It’s Monkey Time (Downingtown, PA) – Victory Brewing has announced a welcome addition to its family of monkeys, a line of beers that currently includes its Golden Monkey, a Belgian Style Tripel and Sour Monkey, a 9.5% ABV Sour Tripel, which is ranked the #1 sour in the nation.

Loaded with raspberries and other natural flavors that add just the right balance of sweetness and tang, Victory Berry Monkey is a 9.5% ABV Fruited Sour Tripel that’s balanced and amazingly approachable for such a high-octane beer.

“The Monkeys have created a loyal and engaged following, transcending the craft beer world to appeal to more drinkers with their approachability and great flavor,” Bill Covaleski of Victory Brewing Company explains. “Not something you’d expect from a 9.5% ABV craft beer.”

Summer In A Winter Glass (Cape May, NJ) – In the dead of winter, you might find yourself longing for summer days at the Jersey Shore and Cape May Brewing makes an OG classic that will hold you over till things warm up again. The first beer that the beach town brewery introduced, Cape May IPA is a balanced 6.3% ABV American India Pale Ale that built a great brewery and never disappoints.

Just For Hail Of It (Dallas, TX) – In 2021 Lakewood Brewing introduced a citrus-fueled seasonal which was such a hit that it is now returning as the brewery’s newest year=round. Crafted with American wheat yeast which makes for a lighter body, Lakewood Tangerine Queen is a 5.7% ABV Wheat Ale with orange peel and mandarin purée added to keep things juicy.

A Beer To Die For (Longmont, CO) – Oskar Blues has retuned popular seasonal which has developed a rabid cult following over the years. Melding delicately nuanced notes of bittersweet cacao and creamy coconut, Oskar Blues Death By Coconut is an award-winning 6.5% ABV Porter that earned a silver medal at the GABF in the chocolate beer category.
