Founders Blushing Monk Beer

Already a top notch brewery, Founders Brewing takes things to the next level with their Backstage Series beers. Blushing Monk is part of the series, but hasn't seen stores shelves since 2011. But now, four years later, Blushing Monk is back, and there's a good reason it's the first Backstage Series beer to be re-released. Brewed with loads of raspberries, and a very special Belgian yeast strain, this is a beer that turns traditional ideas about fruit beers on their heads. A 9.2% ABV slugger that's way less timid than the name suggests.

The Bruery Or Xata Beer

You'd be hard pressed to find a drink that goes better with Mexican cuisine than Horchata, but the folks at The Bruery have come up with a strong contender. Originally a bottle only sold to members of their Preservation Society, Ox Xata is now receiving a wide release as the brewery's new Spring seasonal. The beer itself is a blonde ale brewed with loads of rice, cinnamon, and fresh vanilla beans. Add in some lactose for a creamy finish, and you have the ideal choice to sip next some chips and salsa or a plate of enchiladas.

Victory Deep Cocoa Beer

If there's one thing we know about the porter beer style, it's that it mingles incredibly well with sweet flavors like chocolate. Victory Brewing has taken this knowledge and created Deep Cocoa, a porter aged on cocoa nibs. It's a dark, malty, sweet beer that pairs as well with dessert as it does with an appetizer. It comes corked and caged in this tempting 750ml bottle ready to share, or just to keep to yourself.

Anchor Flying Cloud Stout

During the Gold Rush, one of the most popular beer styles was the export stout. It was brewed at a higher gravity to survive the long overseas voyage from Dublin. Flying Cloud San Francisco Stout from Anchor Brewing is made with this history in mind, and is part of The Argonaut Collection, a series of adventurous beers from one of America's oldest breweries. The 7.4% stout arrives with a dark, chocolaty maltiness and a dry finish. It hits store shelves in March and is the first beer Anchor has released in 4-packs since 1971.

Casper Mattress

We spend about a third of our time sleeping, so the mattress you sleep on every night is incredibly important. But when you lie on a bed for five minutes in a mattress showroom, it's impossible to judge how you'll sleep through the night - and the commissioned salesperson hovering doesn't help. Casper was designed with the bedroom in mind, not the showroom, and features premium latex foam for cooling and memory foam for comfort and support. In fact, you can avoid the showroom altogether as Casper comes compress-shipped right to your door. Make sleep a priority again with this impeccably designed, outrageously comfortable, and hand-crafted mattress made in the U.S.A.

Presented by Casper.

Samuel Adams Rebel Rouser Beer

Samuel Adams is known for being a pioneer in the craft beer space, blazing trails for many of the breweries that you probably love. But they've been a bit hesitant to dive into the world of hopped up IPAs, until now. Rebel Rouser is a double IPA that is the younger, but more disruptive brother of Rebel IPA, with an ABV of 8.4% and a palate full of aggressive hops. It's a West Coast style IPA, clean, crisp, and hitting store shelves near you this month.

Funky Buddha Last Snow Beer

While they make a full array of beer styles at Funky Buddha Brewing, there is one style they've become known for — Porter. Last Snow is yet another show stopping Porter in their quickly growing portfolio, and the most recent to see the bottling line. It's a coconut and coffee porter that reminds many of a Mounds bar in a glass, but it's not a bomb of sweetness. Instead Funky Buddha has again taken the base Porter style and built a sturdy, balanced structure on top of it — with fresh coffee, coconut, white chocolate, and caramel all playing crucial roles.

Boulevard Chocolate Ale

The most popular seasonal beer that Boulevard Brewing makes is back, and it's a pretty good bet that it won't stick around for long. Chocolate Ale hits shelves again this week, just five years after its first release as a part of their Smokestack Series — when it was meant to be a one-time offering. But when Boulevard collaborated with Christopher Elbow Artisinal Chocolates in Kansas City, they got more than just another one-off. It's an American Strong Ale that challenges what you might already think you know about chocolate in beer, as nibs from the Dominican Republic were added during the brewing process, giving it a booming aroma and flavor.

Oskar Blues Pinner Beer

If you've ever mistaken the aroma of fresh hops for marijuana, you aren't alone.

Almanac Tequila Barrel Noir Beer
