Summer is fleeting and American craft brewers are addressing things with intriguing new beers you’re gonna want to have around this weekend.

With a nuanced complexity that begins with specially curated Belgian yeast, Cape May Devil’s Reach is an 8.6% ABV Belgian-Style Ale with a fruity and light character that belies its high octane head.
A Tall Order (San Francisco, CA) – More drinkers’ than ever are craving beers with big hoppy flavors and a punched up alcohol content, and 21st Amendment Brewing is answering that call with a new addition to their IPA family that’s exclusively available in 19.2oz cans, and on draft. Described by the brewery as a “gravity- defying” year-round, 21st Amendment Tall Hat Imperial IPA is a 9% ABV India Pale Ale boasting a gravitational pull of bright malt flavors layered with a firm bitterness and amplified with grapefruit, tangerine and stone fruit hop aromas.
“This was a fun beer to work up and create and play with ingredients that give Tall Hat a brighter flair,” Shaun O’Sullivan, Co-Founder and Brewmaster at 21st Amendment Brewery, said. “We’re adding light Munich malt and a touch of rice supporting the three-way punch with Centennial, Mosaic and Comet hops; oozing with zesty grapefruit and tangerine aromas.”
