Summer will soon be a memory and American craft brewers are addressing things with a smart roster of new beers you’re gonna want to have around.

Butter Cup (Escondido, CA) – Stone Brewing has an interesting addition to its One Batch Dispatch Series that is currently available (but won’t be for long) at Bistros, Tap Rooms or online store shipping to CA, DC, OH and VA.

Light-bodied but intensely flavorful, Stone Peanut Butter Cream Ale is exactly that, a 5.5% ABV Cream Ale flavored with peanut butter and a touch of vanilla. Whether you prefer it smooth, chunky, sweetened or un-, if you’re a lover of peanut butter, this one’s for you. Try pairing it with peanut butter cookies, peanut butter ice cream, peanut butter cups, peanut butter toast, peanut butter… you get the idea.

Lime Time (Lone Tree, CO) – Lone Tree Brewing has a new seasonal variant of their award-winning flagship, that we’ve gotta admit, is one of the best beers of the summer. A three-time Great American Beer Festival® winner, Lone Tree Lime Mexican Lager is a 5.3% ABV fruit-forward take on their classic which uses real lime purée.

“We’ve received overwhelming positive feedback on this beer at our two tasting rooms in Lone Tree and Parker,” says Lone Tree Brewing Director of Tasting Rooms Michael Webster. “There’s genuine enthusiasm for how refreshing the Lime Mexican Lager is on a summer day. Combine that with strong sales data, and we saw this beer was a perfect candidate for our next seasonal can.”

Going For The Gold (Kihei, Hawaii) – Maui Brewing is celebrating its latest award-winning beer, which recently took home a Gold medal in the India Pale Lager category at the recent 2024 US Open Beer Competition

Brewed with Citra Cryo hops, Maui Da Hawai’i Life Lite Lager is a 4% ABV refresher with just 110 calories per 12-ounce serving. This pale gold Lager offers a clean citrus flavor, a light malt character, and aromas of citrus and hops. Its light-bodied profile makes it ideal for summertime drinking

“Da Hawai’i Life has long been a favorite Limited Release in Hawai’I,” Maui Brewing’s Co-Founder and CEO Garret Marrero. “As we brought it to more of our fans, we transformed the recipe into a lighter option while retaining the flavor profile. The result is a crisp, uber-refreshing Lager that aims to appeal to modern beer fans looking for a “lite” option without compromising on taste. One of the most crushable beers we’ve ever made.”
