Winter’s coming and American craft brewers are addressing the cooling season with an intriguing roster of new beers you’re gonna want to have around as the nights get longer.
Blinded By The Light (Munster, IN) – Three Floyds Brewing, a brewery renowned for the big hoppy IPAs and bold Imperial Stouts is stepping “beyond the craft beer category” with a more traditional style of lager. Brewed with Indiana corn grits, and they do grow a lot of corn out that way, Floyd’s Deluxe 4.5% ABV “lighter-style premium lager” that checks all the crisp, clean and refreshing boxes.
“When we began to develop Floyds Deluxe, we weren’t making a craft lager – we were creating an American lighter-style lager,” said Cory Just, Three Floyds’ Marketing Director. “While that distinction might seem subtle, it’s a critical point of differentiation reflected in every aspect of this brand, including its packaging. Unlike our usual maximalist approach, this isn’t an intensely hopped-up brew. It’s a light, clean, and exceptionally well-crafted beer, carefully lagered for 8 weeks.”
Darkness, Darkness (Sausalito, CA) – a leader Non-Alcoholic Beer segment, Best Day Brewing has a new limited release that nails it.

This beer is made in partnership with Protect Our Winters, a nonprofit dedicated to protect clean air, clean water, and a healthy environment for everyone. All proceeds from the sale of this beer will support POW’s mission to protect the places we live and the lifestyles we love from climate change.

The perfect winter seasonal for those crisp Colorado evenings, Northstar Imperial Porter is a deep, robust 9% ABV Baltic-style Porter with rich malt notes of toffee, chocolate, coffee, and dark fruit, that give way to a smooth, velvety finish
