February is just flying by and American brewers are weathering winter with a new roster of beers that you’re gonna want to have around.
Cheap Fun (Bend, OR) – Most 2024 beer wrap-ups have pointed to the simplification of craft beer, and an increased interest in straight-forward lagers, everyday beers that pair seamlessly with, well, life. Other year-end wraps have noted that in this era of inflation, craft beer keeps getting more expensive, and consumers are feeling it.
But 10 Barrel Brewing has a core beer that addresses both of these trends. Unashamedly described by the brewery as “cheap fun,” 10 Barrel Pub Beer is a 5% ABV American Lager with a floral, and cracker-like malt aroma, a crisp ripe pear flavor, and a touch spice from the Noble hops they use.

Brown Nose (Escondido, CA) – – Stone Brewing has announced the launch of Brewery Exclusives a line of long-retired classics, cult favorites and amazing innovations. And the new series of monthly releases kicks off with the return of a very special award-winner.
Only available in 16oz cans at Stone Brewing’s six location around the country, Stone Lifeblurred Imperial Brown Ale is a massive 11% ABV small-batch exclusive that earned a coveted gold at the 2024 US Beer Open and bronze medal at the Great American Beer Festival.
Jam-Packed With Real Fruit (Cleaveland, OH) – Great Lakes Brewing is looking to spring with a March release, which unlike too many “fruity” beers, is brewed using real fruit. Crafted with a lush mix of strawberry and pineapple, Great Lakes Strawberry Pineapple Wheat, is exactly that, a 5.5% ABV fruit-forward Wheat Ale that will not disappoint.
