Yikes! Spring releases are beginning to give way to summertime offerings in our latest collection of new beers for 2018…And we’ve five intriguing craft beer directions that you might want to chase down as things warm up.
A Beer That Was 18 Years In The Making (Paso Robles, CA) – Call it a sign of the times, or just the craft beer consumer turning to less hoppy and more sessionable beers, but several craft beer majors have introduced new lagers recently, the latest being Firestone Walker. Easy to drink, yet one of the most difficult beers to get right, Firestone Lager offers the same pleasurable attributes of mass domestic lagers, but with a pure craft attention to detail…and an all-malt pedigree that the big beer globalists would never dream of.
Surly & First Avenue Rock It (Minneapolis, MN) – Surly Brewing and the First Avenue rock club crew have teamed up on a beer that’s both a homage to the city’s legendary music venue, and a beer that you’d choose when you’re out clubbing it. Brewed for drinking several (and then maybe another), Surly/First Avenue +1 is a refreshing Golden Ale that’s as light-bodied as it is low ABV.
Brewed By Brewers For Brewers (And You) (San Francisco, CA) – Anchor Brewing has introduced a new Pale Ale that’s brewed with an ever-evolving hop blend! Aromatically complex and bursting with flavor, Anchor Brewer’s Pale Ale is a 5.3% ABV celebration of New Zealand’s prized Nelson Sauvin hop that’s brewed by brewers, for brewers (and you).
You Be Trippin’ Dude (Covington, KY) – With spring just around the corner, Braxton Brewing is returning a warm weather favorite. Part of the brewery’s new Trip Series that was designed to showcase the Berliner Weisse style throughout the year, Braxton Summertrip Passion Fruit Berliner Weisse is a 4.2% ABV refresher with huge springtime aromatics and passionfruit tones.
The Legend Of Sancho (Larkspur, Ca) – According to the Urban Dictionary Sancho is the “the other man” in Spanish slang, the guy your girlfriend is cheating on you with, but it’s also Marin Brewing’s latest release. Brewed with d with more than 95% Weyermann Wiener malt and German Hallertau hops Marin Sancho Lager is a 5.3% ABV ode to a legend you can now drink to.
