The 4^th of July is now behind us and American craft brewers are addressing mid-summer with a full slate of new beers you’re gonna want to chase down.

Maibock Moon (Portland, OR) – In celebration of Ecliptic Brewing’s newest location, the Moon Room, a small batch venue specifically engineered for lagering, the brewery has introduced the Moon Room Series, an exceptional line of beers showcasing the world’s most interesting lagers.

The sixth release in the series and one of our favorite beer styles, Ecliptic Moon Room Series: Helles Lager is an uber-approachable 5.1% ABV German Style Lager with a subtle sweetness and crisp clean finish.

Ecliptic’s Owner and Brewmaster, John Harris, says “We thought a Helles for July was the perfect idea. Bright and crisp- perfect for a summer day.”

Finer Shiner (Shiner, TX) – Shiner Beer has joined forces with Garrison Brothers Distillery, a renowned Texas-based distillery known for Texas Straight Bourbon, for the first release from its 2022 Brewers Pride Series.

Carefully crafted with Two-Row Premium, Copper and Chocolate malts, as well as Golding hops, then aged in the ex-Port casks that were then used to create Garrison Brothers’ Guadalupe Bourbon, Shiner Brewers Pride Barrel-Aged Doppelbock is a robust and complex 12% ABV special release that was brewed to be shared with people who ate serious about their beer.

“We’re thrilled to join forces with such a renowned Texas distillery for this special, limited-time brew, said Jimmy Mauric, Shiner Master Brewer. We hope to continue to raise the bar for our loyal Shiner fans with the one-of-a-kind offerings in our Brewer’s Pride line”
