Summer is ON and American craft brewers are celebrating its arrival with an uber-interesting roster of beers you’re gonna want to have around.

Set Sail (Westerly, RI) – Rhode Island’s award-winning craft brewery, Grey Sail Brewing of Rhode Island is kicking off the summer season with a seasonal roster of offerings that never disappoint.

Sea Maiden: A guilt-free 3.9% ABV Light Ale with only calories,

Hazy Day: A 3.7% ABV Belgian Wit Ale with a delicate wheat character, subtle spices from coriander and orange peel, and a smooth, creamy finish.

Raspberry Reef: A tart, fruity, and light Raspberry Wheat Ale with bright, juicy berry notes and a crisp finish ·

Flying Jenny: A classically-hopped 5.3% ABV Pale Ale With a citrusy brightness and satisfying bite. .

Seeing Japanese (San Diego, CA) – RationAle Brewing, the California brand known for its aggressive take on non-alcoholic craft beer, has a new addition to its Maverick Series, an ever-evolving line of limited-edition brews that will rotate exclusively into its variety packs.

Brewed with a smart blend of rice and pilsner malts and infused with delicate cherry blossom, notes RationAle Japanese-Style Dry Lager with the crisp and refreshing qualities of a stellar Japanese lager, but without the alcohol.

“Japanese Lagers are finally getting the recognition they deserve in the U.S., with more beer lovers gravitating toward their crisp, floral profile—but until now, non-alcoholic options have been limited,” said Jamie Fay, Co-Founder and CEO of RationAle Brewing. “We’re pumped to introduce the Japanese-Style Dry as the first Maverick Series release in our new Variety Pack. And if this one is as popular as we expect, it might just earn a permanent spot in our core lineup.”

Easy Does it (Sausalito, CA) – Over the years, the Oskar Blues Brewery has expanded its uber-popular Dale’s line to include everything from a Light Lager to a non-alcoholic Pilsner, but our favorite is their take on the Session IPA.

Crafted with a smart menu of hops that are Eldorado, Citra, and Mosaic hops tethered to a sturdy malt backbone, Dale’s Easy IPA is a 4.9% ABV year-round with a light bitterness and an effervescent mouthfeel backed up by a surprisingly substantial body.
