Labor Day Weekend is now a memory, and American craft brewers are looking to fall with an ever-evolving roster of beers you’re gonna want to have around.
A Best Fest (Chico, CA & Mills River, NC) – Oktoberfest season is ON and Sierra Nevada Brewing is celebrating things with one of the most interesting collaboration beers of 2025.
A collaboration with Störtebeker, an internationally recognized award-winning German brewer, Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest is a 6% ABV modern Festbier which leans into its rich, smooth malt backbone with notes of fresh-baked bread and honey. Traditional German hops (Opal, Perle, Spalter Select, Tradition) provide balanced bitterness and herbal-spicy aroma, rounding things out with a crisp, clean finish.
Neshaminy Creek 12oz Cans A Classic (Croydon, PA) – As part of the brewery’s ongoing effort to meet beer lovers where they ae, Neshaminy Creek Brewin is making one of its most popular IPAs available in 12oz can 4/6-packs.
At 8.5% ABV, Neshaminy Creek The Shape of Hops to Come is a big, resinous, and citrusy blast of Citra, Ekuanot, and Simcoe hops – an assertive but balanced IPA that continues to be a cornerstone of the brewery’s lineup.
“The Shape of Hops to Come is the beer that really defined us as a brewery,” said Kyle Park, CEO of Neshaminy Creek Brewing. “It’s loud, it’s unapologetic, and it’s packed with flavor. Now with the 12oz option, we’re giving fans the same bold, high-ABV West Coast-style Imperial IPA they know and love but in a size that’s just right for kicking back anywhere. Sometimes, you don’t need the full pint to get the full experience.”
The new packaging begins rolling out this month across Neshaminy Creek’s distribution footprint, including Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Fans can find The Shape of Hops to Come in both 12oz 4/6-pack cases and the classic 16oz 6/4-pack cases directly from the brewery’s three taproom locations in Croydon, Dublin, and Harleysville, PA.
