Winter’s waning, and American craft brewers are looking to spring with a smart roster of new beers you’re gonna want to have on hand.

Earthbound (Paso Robles, CA) – Firestone Walker Brewing celebrated Earth Day this year, with a lager that’s now widely available, that is made using all locally grown and sustainably made ingredients. Crisp, floral, and refreshing, Firestone Sunglider is a 5% ABV Helles-Style lager that honors the brewery’s commitment to both flavor and sustainability.

This beer is all about keeping things local.

Firestone Walker brewed Sunglider with Atlas malt, a historic six-row barley grown just down the road in Paso Robles.. The grain is floor-malted by Admiral Maltings in Alameda, preserving old-school methods and minimizing environmental impact. For hops, the brewery looked north to Oregon’s Goschie Farms for its Willamette and Hallertau Tradition hops .

As Firestone Walker Brewmaster, Matt Brynildson deftly put it  “Sunglider is  beer flavored beer, a modern nod to tradition, crafted with care and brewed with purpose.”

Pace Yourself (San Diego, CA) – AleSmith Brewing has a new addition to its year-round portfolio that we can’t wait to get our hands on. inspired by the brewery’s legendary Speedway Stout. but in a lighter, more sessionable format AleSmith Pace Car is  a smooth and uber-creamy 6% ABV Nitro Coffee Stout with rich and seductive coffee and chocolate tones, complemented by notes of roasted barley and subtle toffee character.

Packaged in 16oz 4-pack cans and draft, AleSmith Pace Car Nitro is now available at the brewery’s taproom as well as online and at many retail outlets in California, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Minnesota, Texas, Illinois, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Virginia and Washington DC
