Description

Bell’s Hopslam Ale

A specialty beer made by Bell’s, the double India Pale Ale is made with six types of hops, adding complexity of flavor and depth. The floral, fruity overtones come from grapefruit, honey and stone fruit. Interesting, huh? It’s also only made once per year, so when you see it, order it ASAP — it won’t be there for lnog.

Blue Moon Mango Wheat

This beer combines the taste of the Blue Moon you know and love with hints of juicy mango to create something pleasantly different. The mango is strong in the sense that you can definitely taste it, but it isn’t overpowering, either. It’s perfect for a summer night when you’re looking to enjoy something sweet, refreshing and light on the palate.

SweetWater

Grass Monkey

Grass Monkey is a hoppy wheat ale that’s made with lemongrass and lemondrop hops. What makes it one of the 10 best new beers to try is the way that it’s citrusy, but not too heavy — it’s a great pick if you’re looking for something more refreshing and available all year from the brewery.

Leinenkugel

Pomegranate Shandy

Another fruit-flavored favorite, Pomegranate Shandy is brewed by Leinenkugels and recently became a member of the famed shandy family. It’s a little sweet but has a well-balanced pomegranate flavor. Remember this beer when you’re out celebrating a crisp, fall night and you won’t be disappointed.

3 Floyds Battle of Charro II

If you love a good cherry-flavored ale, this beer is for you. Three Floyds Battle of Charro II is an IPA brewed crafted with cherry juice and a self-described taste that’s sweet and tart at first. Oh, and it has a pretty cool bottle design, too.

Angry Orchard Pear

This pear-flavored cider is a recent addition to Angry Orchard’s line of fruity beers. Though the brewery is known for its punchy apple ciders, the  pear cider is mixed with apples, and packs in flavor while retaining a refreshing taste. However, don’t confuse it with the popular beer Knotty Pear.

Trillium

Pot & Kettle Oatmeal Stout

A beer made with cold brew? Count us in. Created by a Massachusetts-based brewery, this oatmeal stout has flavors of mocha, toffee and a dark malt. It’s a deep and earthy drink, making it great for a night when you’re looking to relax with just a beer or two.

Perennial Beer

Working Title

Working Title is a Belgian pale ale made with Brettanomyces Bruxellensis, a particular type of yeast, and dry hops. This gives the beer a pineapple flavor mixed with orange and a crisp tinge, though it tastes malty. Anyone with a penchant for not-too-fruity, but deep-flavored beer will like this offering.

Fremont Brewing

Barrel-Aged Unicorn Tears

Even breweries are getting in on the unicorn trend overtaking the food and drink industry lately. This recently released drink as an oatmeal milk stout, bourbon-barrel aged and made with cherries — yielding a yummy, deeply-flavored combination of asymmetrical flavors. How can you resist?

Samuel Adams

Cold Snap

If you’re looking for something to sip by the fireplace on chilly winter nights, this one’s for you. Cold Snap is a white ale that combines the flavors of plums with orange peels and coriander. The result is a both fruity and crisp beer that really warms the bones.
