Spring Is ON, and summertime not all that far away. And American craft brewers are celebrating the seasons with a smart roster of artisan brews you’re gonna want to have around as things warm up.

A Bi-Coastal Collab (Portland, OR) This month, Von Ebert Brewing is marking its 8th anniversary with two highly anticipated collaboration beers with Other Half Brewing Company from Brooklyn, New York.

“While we make award-winning beer in many styles, it made sense for us to stick with what we’re most known for—Pilsners and IPAs,” said Sam Pecoraro, brewmaster of Von Ebert Brewing. “Von Ebert Brewing is always looking to produce beers ‘where tradition meets evolution,’ and so these collaborations are a perfect way to celebrate us doing that for eight years.”

The 8th Anniversary Pilsner is 5.0% ABV with strawberry, passionfruit, and noble notes, and the 8th Anniversary Hazy IPA is 7.0% ABV with mango, peach, and grapefruit notes. Both beers will be available at all Von Ebert Brewing locations in draft and 16 oz cans, as well as in some Northwest retailers, restaurants, and bars.

“Known for our Hazy IPAs, we were very excited to partner with Von Ebert Brewing to exchange ideas,” said Sam Richardson, co-owner of Other Half Brewing Company. “And it’s fitting two Sams who swapped coasts would come up with some delicious beers that we hope everyone enjoys.”

Rewild (San Diego, CA) – Founded in 2015 by friends and entrepreneurs Mat Robar, Jesse Pine, and Winslow Sawyer, Pure Project is an award-winning small batch brewery with a passion for sustainability, seasonality, and the small details. And they’ve just introduced a new core beer that deepens the brewery’s connection between its ingredient-driven craft beer and their dedication to environmental stewardship.

Crafted with a deft mix of Citra and Centennial hops Rewild, a crisp 5% ABV “retro” West Coast pale ale that supports regenerative tree-planting initiatives to help rewild natural habitats.

Through Pure Project’s commitment to 1% for the Planet, Rewild will support international conservation organization WILDCOAST and its mangrove forest restoration efforts in Mexico, home to the fourth-largest mangrove area in the world. Mangrove forests are among the planet’s most remarkable carbon-sequestering ecosystems. They capture carbon up to five times more effectively than rainforests, serve as a vital breeding habitat for numerous wildlife and marine species, and help shield coastal communities from storms.

“When it came to finding the right partner for Rewild, the answer was clear,” said Mat Robar, Co-founder of Pure Project. “WILDCOAST has been doing critical, on-the-ground conservation work for decades, and their ongoing efforts to actively rewild and restore Mexico’s mangrove forests represent the kind of meaningful impact we wanted this beer to stand behind.”

A Wheat Ale With A Twist  (Asheville, NC) – One of our favorite breweries, Wicked Weed Brewing is very much on the comeback trail after the devastating flood that brought Ashville to its knees in October of 2024. And although the brewery is renowned for its Sour Beer production, they also brew a terrific Witbier that’s an ACB staple.

Crafted with our unique blend of Curaçao orange peel and coriander, Wicked Weed Twist is a light-bodied 5.2% ABV Belgian Style White Ale with fresh notes of oranges, flora, pomme and peppery spice that give way to a crispy dry finish.
