May is ON and American craft brewers are welcoming the warmer weather with an exciting new roster of beers that you’re gonna want to have around.
Rustic (Hershey, PA) – Tröegs Independent Brewing has returned a popular limited release that evolved from its experimental small-batch Scratch Series. Mercilessly dry-hopped with Citra, Mosaic and El Dorado, Tröegs Field Study is a 6.2% ABV slightly hazy IPA with bright grapefruit, mango, pear and melon notes that linger.
“Field Study began life as Scratch #327, when we first started tinkering with some new hopping techniques,” explains Tröegs brewmaster John Trogner. “We built on those experiments over the next few Scratch releases and landed on a grain bill featuring a backbone of Rustic Pale Malt.”
“Rustic Pale malt is kilned slightly higher than most pale malts to amplify the complex cereal and slightly nutty notes,” added Trogner.

Citrus Rush (Shiner, TX) – Shiner Beer has a new year-round addition to its lineup that delivers a true citrus rush. Sporting big grapefruit aromatics with a hint of sweet tangerine, Shiner Ruby Sunburst is an uber-approachable 3.5% ABV Tangerine Lager with bright citrusy notes that are tethered to a subtle malt backbone. And even this fruit-forward refresher come with only 85 calories!
A Best “Best Day” (California) – Non-Alcoholic beers have come a long way since your uncle used to order an O’Doul’s. And there’s a Northern California brewery, Best Day Brewing, which makes a great Kölsch that just happens to be non-alcoholic.
Brewed using a smart combination of Cologne and Pilsner malts and Hallertau Traditional hops, Best Day Kölsch is a crisp and perfectly balanced refresher that comes with a nice toasty malt character but won’t leave you buzzed.
