Summer is ON and American craft brewers are celebrating its arrival with an uber-interesting roster of beers that are generating a lot of buzz this season.

Just Peachy (New Orleans, LA) – Urban South Brewery is returning a seasonal fav that’s a fruit-forward twist on the brewery’s classic American lager. combining juicy peach flavor with a crisp, refreshing finish, Urban South Paradise Peach is a 4.4% ABV Lager with vibrant peach notes that inform, but never overwhelm. And the beer’s light body and fruit-forward aroma keep things approachable while still delivering a depth of flavor complexity.

“Paradise Peach is a testament to our passion for experimenting with familiar styles and introducing bold, approachable flavor combinations,” said Jacob Landry, Co-Founder of Urban South Brewery. “This unique brew allowed us to create something refreshing and balanced for our audience to enjoy in the summer.”

A Twist On A Cult Classic (Lone Tree, CO) – Tree Hop Zombie is a highly celebrated seasonal release brewed by Colorado’s Lone Tree Brewing. Originally crafted as an Imperial Red IPA and released in the fall, which helps explain its spooky name, it continues a 14-year legacy as the brewery’s most anticipated annual drop. And this summer they’ve  released a new variation

Brewed just in time for Solstice and designed specifically for warmer weather, Lone Tree Summer Zombie is a juicy 10% ABV India Pale Ale with mesmerizing waves of tropical fruit notes, including ripe peaches, orange juice, and a hint of lime.

Take It Easy  (Waitsfield, VT) – Lawson’s Finest Liquids has a new limited release that’s an easygoing departure from all the remarkable IPAs that helped build this Vermont brewery’s considerable reputation. Brewed for kicking back and relaxing, for woodland hikes and weekend afternoons, Lawson’s Finest Lager is a 5% ABV refresher that is light in body yet big on flavor.

Founded by Sean and Karen Lawson, Lawson’s is home to the renowned Sunshine family of IPAs. Beginning as a home-based 1-barrel nanobrewery in 2008, Lawson’s Finest expanded production capacity in 2011 and 2014, growing to include distribution across 12 states.
