The seasons are shifting and craft brewers are keeping things interesting with a new slate of beers you’re gonna want to chase down.

Dankness, Dankness (Framingham, MA) – Exhibit ‘A’ Brewing, an environmentally-conscience, awarding-winning craft brewery that sees beer as a way of bringing people together and spreading a little joy has returned something we’re excited about.

Brewed in support of the Northeast Grainshed Alliance, using locally grown and malted grains Exhibit ‘A’ Danko IPA is a double dry-hopped 6% ABV New England-Style India Pale Ale which takes name from the locally grown and malted Danko Rye that’s responsible for the beer’s light breadiness and uber-smooth finish.

Available to ship DTC from their website to Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Virginia, DC, Nebraska and Pennsylvania this is a beer that never disappoints.

5000 Beers And Counting (Portland, OR) – Ecliptic Brewing is celebrating a milestone that few craft breweries could ever hope to accomplish, its 5000th batch of beer! Brewed with Pale and Munich malts and hopped with Nugget, Azacca, and Mosaic before being aged in in Ransom Old Tom Gin barrels for over 5 months, Ecliptic 5000 is a massive 13% ABV Barrel-aged Golden Barleywine with big oak and gin aromatics.

“This beer was inspired by Larry Bell and how he names milestone batches at Bell’s Brewery,” said Ecliptic Founder and Brewmaster, John Harris. “We were so busy that I missed our 1000 and 2500 batches!”

Let The Sunshine In (Chippewa Falls, WI) – Leinenkugel’s has a new light-bodied seasonal that according to the brewery “was made to be enjoyed all day.” Brewed with tradition hops and select Munich malt, Leinenkugel’s Sunshine Light Lager is a light-bodied 3.4% ABV refresher with just the right amount of bitterness and a bright, crisp finish.
