Seaquench Ale
Limey, salty and sour all at the same time. Dogfish Head’s Sea Quench Ale packs in different characteristics that caters for various types of beer lovers. Above all, it’s light, refreshing and moreish.
4.7% ABV / 11 IBU
Description from the brewery:
Objectively the most thirst-quenching beer we’ve ever brewed, SeaQuench Ale is a session sour mash-up of a crisp Kölsch, a salty Gose and a tart Berliner Weiss brewed in sequence with black limes, sour lime juice and sea salt. The result? A citrusy-tart union that has captured the attention and hearts of beer, wine and margarita drinkers alike!
Firestone Walker
Rosalie
Rosalie by Firestone Walker is a beer Rose! Yep, a beer brewed with chardonnay and hibiscus flower for added measure. The result is a light, crisp and slightly fruity easy drinking beer perfect for fruit beer and rose lovers a like.
5.0% ABV / 10 IBU
Description from the brewery:
Rosalie taps into our brewery’s family winemaking roots, using local wine grapes to create a delicious one-of-a-kind beer rosé with bright fruit flavors and luscious acidity.
Founders
All Day IPA
American IPA’s have typically been more on the high ABV side of things which left an opportunity for brewers to craft a more session style beer that satisfies the hopheads amongst us. Founders All Day IPA is exactly that, a bright, floral beer with balanced hop bitterness that doesn’t overpower.
4.7% ABV / 42 IBU
Description from the brewery:
The beer you’ve been waiting for. Keeps your taste satisfied while keeping your senses sharp. An all-day IPA naturally brewed with a complex array of malts, grains and hops. Balanced for optimal aromatics and a clean finish. The perfect reward for an honest day’s work and the ultimate companion to celebrate life’s simple pleasures.
SixPoint
The Crisp
Name The Crisp for a reason, Sixpoint Brewing creates a wonderful pilsner prime for hot weather. With notes of lemon, caramel and a little pepper, the beer serves up subtle flavors with a punch of hop bitterness.
5.4% ABV / 44 IBU
Description from the brewery:
At Sixpoint we go straight to the source for the prime cuts — the Tettnanger and Hallertau hops in THE CRISP are sourced 100% directly from farmers in Tettnang, Germany. This way we personally select what goes into our beers.
Look, legit pilz should have an aroma that leaps from the glass, and the bright, floral aroma of THE CRISP absolutely blasts your nostrils. Follow that up with a crisp, clean finish, and you’ll be sinking this thing by the liter.

Allagash. Kurkuma
TURMERIFIC! Let's face it. Allagash can do no wrong. Their craft is on point. But when you think about using Turmeric as an ingredient in beer, I had to wonder whether it would work. Their Kurkuma is a saison with an added kick of turmeric. Pouring a mildly hazy straw...
Pariah. Only 90’s Kids Will Get This
BEST DECADE EVER! Being a 90's kid (eek, showing my age here), I often hark back to the days of living carefree, with no adult responsibilities, no bills to pay, and all the time in the world to just do! So, when I saw Pariah Brewing has an Only 90's Kids Will Get...
Bolero Snort. Ragin’ Bull
RAGIN' GOOD! The humble amber ale. A staple beer that often gets overlooked by the hop bombs and puckering brews. This beer style is often standard fare, brewed to cater for less adventurous drinkers. But in this style lies the beauty of a beverage that is hard to...
