Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Up Front Brewing is the passion project of gypsy brewer Jack Griffin. All of Up Front's core beers are named for characters from the literary classic Moby Dick, including Ahab, a dark, malty American stout. The beer is brewed with plenty of chocolate and coffee and canned in these stand out monochrome cans designed by illustrator Stanley Donwood who is best known for his work with the band Radiohead.
Beer has become a bit complicated. And while many of the experimental brews that are everywhere are delicious, sometimes something simple should take priority. Hopped with Czech Saaz and Australian Summer hops, Ice is a refreshing pilsner from San Diego's Modern Times that is perfect for a hot day or paired with a burger and fries. Originally only available on tap, Ice is now on store shelves in retro-inspired 16oz cans at 4.8% ABV.
Initially released in 2015 and not seen for more than a year, the third batch of Side Project's La Fosse is ready for consumption. The wild ale is fermented and aged in Missouri Oak Chardonnay barrels for 18 months before it is conditioned on apricots from Oregon for an additional six months. Blend #3 of this world-class sour beer clocks in at 7% ABV and is packaged in 375ml bottles.
Some of the best craft beer in the world comes from Michigan, and Homes Brewery in Ann Arbor is ready to add to that reputation. Already named one of the best new breweries in the country, Homes specializes in New England style IPA's like Crumple, an 8.5% ABV beer that is double dry hopped with loads of Citra. Crumple is smooth, hazy, and easy to drink on draft or in 16oz cans and is currently only available at the brewery.
The cider division of Cincinnati's Rhinegeist Brewing, Cidergeist provides beer and wine drinkers with light refreshing alternatives as outdoor temperatures rise.

Bubbles is canned year-round at 6.2% ABV and is a lightly tart, fruity, flavorful option poolside or around the grill this summer.
The "hoppy" arm of The Bruery: the Orange County, California based brewery that has specialized in barrel-aged and experimental ales since 2008, Offshoot releases aromatic, hop-forward beers monthly in 16-ounce cans. Relax (it's just a hazy IPA) is one of the latest, packing Citra, Centennial, Simcoe, and Amarillo hops into this approachable, smooth IPA that's perfect to pack the cooler full of as you head out into the summer sun.
Created with athletes in mind, FKT (Fastest Known Time) Pale Ale is the first electrolyte and nutrient-rich beer, making it a post-workout option that won't wipe you out. Made by California-based brewers Sufferfest, FKT is brewed with citra, azacca, and magnum hops along with black currants for a dose of vitamin C that is twice as powerful as an orange, and 65mg of sodium to fend off muscle cramps. The pale ale is 5.5% ABV, gluten-removed, and has only 165 calories per can.
Onsen married functionality with minimalism to craft a lightweight bath towel that dries like its job depended on it. The key to this obsessively designed towel isn't what they added, but rather what they eliminated. Most towels go through a chemical bathing process so that they feel soft and fluffy, at least at first. Not Onsen. Instead of short-lived softness that washes away, Onsen relies on premium materials and traditional techniques to deliver a thirsty towel that only gets softer over time. Get the last towel you'll ever need.

Oris has always had an affinity for aviation, and their second partnership with Swiss air rescue foundation Rega, an independent group that provides emergency medical aid via helicopter and jets, is another beautiful example. The limited timepiece features a 45mm matte gunmetal-grey case made from PVD plated stainless steel, and is covered by domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. The black dial boasts a second time zone indicated by a 24-hour central hand with a pointer that is tipped with a red airplane, a nod to Rega pilots. The timepiece is powered by an automatic movement, is limited to 2,000 pieces, and is finished with a grey strap with red leather and stainless steel folding clasp shaped like an airplane seatbelt buckle.

The first year-round offering from Stone Brewing Richmond, Fear. Movie. Lions is all about location. The beer is not only Stone's first attempt at a New England style IPA — unfiltered with loads of citrus and tropical fruit notes minus the traditional hop bite — but is named using the what3words convention that encodes geographic coordinates into three dictionary words, pinpointing the location the IPA was conceived. Available in 16oz cans exclusively throughout the East Coast this summer.
Based in Copenhagen, To Øl Brewing has the perfect option to balance out the summer heat. Sur Tangerine is a crisp, light, tangerine-infused shandy brewed with Mosaic hops that is certain to become a staple poolside as temperatures rise. The lemonade/beer hybrid is refreshing and clocks in at a mere 2.8% ABV to help you confidently walk the tightrope between hydration and intoxication.
Known for their innovate and diverse beers, Breakside Brewery continues to grow and gain recognition. Lunch Break IPA may be the brewery's flagship beer, brewed with Simcoe, Amarillo, Cascade and Centennial hops for a vibrant aroma and flavor perfect for warm weather. Built to enjoy on your lunch break, or any time of day at 4.7% ABV, the session IPA recently took home a Gold Medal in the 2018 World Beer Cup.
During the 1700's in Britain, beer was often safer to drink than water. But to avoid constant impairment, the Brits brewed beer between 0.5 - 2.8% ABV. Inspired by that history, the Small Beer Brew Co. was founded. Their lager weighs in at only 2.1% ABV, but still has plenty of flavor and half the calories of a standard beer for a guilt-free option during a mid-week lunch or a lazy afternoon with family.
The newest addition to their barrel-aged series, Barrel Runner is a Mosaic-hoped Imperial IPA. After the beer was brewed, it was aged in rum barrels to infuse sweet and spicy flavors from the barrel to take the already tropical IPA to the next level. It's set for release this summer and will be available in 750ml bottles and 12oz 4-packs.
Based in San Diego, Pure Project Brewing blends Southern California style with unique flavors and ingredients. Their latest release, Sakura, is an unfiltered west coast IPA that is a collaboration between Pure Project and Pizza Port Brewing — a legendary brewpub with five locations throughout California. It draws its name from the Japanese cherry blossom and adds rice to the recipe along with Mosaic and Waimea hops.
Temescal Brewing's labels already showcase their love for the 1980's, and they're leaning into those influences even more with Push Pop IPA. The "Creamsicle IPA" is made to mimic the familiar flavors of one of the best ice cream truck staples ever and is brewed with lactose, vanilla beans, citrus zest, peach purée, and Southern Passion and Motueka hops.
Inspired by a handwritten recipe in George Washington's personal military journal from 1757, Freedom Reserve Lager was brewed by military vets that work for Budweiser. The beer is made using toasted barley grains and some hops and will be packaged in vintage stubby bottles and one-pint cans. The patriotic lager also continues a tradition of honoring American veterans as a portion of the proceeds sold will benefit a nonprofit organization that provides scholarships to military families.

With the annual Run For The Roses imminent, Florida brewery Funky Buddha has a special release to mark the occasion. The beer is brewed with barley, flaked corn, and rye for an American strong-style ale that mimics the recipe of Bourbon mash. Then fresh mint is added before the beer is aged in barrels that previously held High West whiskey for an extended period of time. The result is a unique 12% ABV beer that brings to mind a classic Kentucky cocktail that finds itself in the winner's circle every Spring.
Future space travel adventures will include beer, but in zero-gravity conditions, our senses are altered — so drinks taste different, and pouring them is another problem entirely. Vostok Space Beer is a collaboration between 4 Pines Brewing and Saber Astronautics in Australia. The beer itself was brewed with a zero-gravity environment in mind using a dry Irish style stout recipe, while a special insert was created in the bottle that wicks the beer from the bottom to the neck, providing enough surface tension so you can drink Vostok directly from the bottle in space.
Located in the small town of Williamston, Michigan, Old Nation Brewing is quietly making one of the best IPAs in the country. Named for the Michigan highway that connects Old Nation with larger cities like Lansing, M-43 is a hazy, New England style IPA packed with the citrus aromas and flavors hopheads love but replaces much of the hop bite with a creamy, smooth mouthfeel that makes it more approachable for drinkers typically overwhelmed by hoppy beer. It features a blend of Calypso, Simcoe, Citra and Amarillo hops and is canned at 6.8% ABV.
The brewery that helped kick off a beer renaissance in Cincinnati, Ohio has been experimenting with sour beers for nearly five years. Rhinegeist has learned a lot during that time, and are releasing the fruit of their labor dubbed "Outer Reaches." The first in the series is a sour blonde ale aged for six months called Infinite Dawn. It's packaged in corked and caged 500ml bottles in limited quantities and will be available this month throughout their distribution network.
Inspired by the state flower of California, Red Poppy has been a staple in the Lost Abbey line for years. The Flander's Red Ale style is made using sour cherries and then aged in oak barrels for more than a year. It's tart, full of fruit flavor, and a little bit funky. One of the best sour beers brewed each year; Red Poppy is finished at 6.5% in these 375ml corked and caged bottles.
Plenty of craft breweries make a coffee-infused beer. Not many use coffee beans they've roasted themselves. Modern Time in San Diego just happens to brew beer and make coffee, and Bedrock is the perfect combination of those passions. The beer is a brown ale brewed with their Black House Blend coffee and drinks more like a boozy cold brew than a beer. Available on-tap now and soon in these colorful, nitrogenated 16-ounce cans.
For the first time in 17 years, Yuengling is adding a new beer to its core lineup. America's oldest brewery developed this new Pilsner over the course of 18 months before landing on a recipe that combines pale and specialty malts with Hallertau and Saaz hops. Light and crisp at 4.7% ABV, Golden Pilsner will be available in cans and bottles starting in April.
A classic style, amber ales rarely get their due these days. To help shed a brighter light on the style, Creature Comforts brewed a full-flavored amber ale aged on French Oak that quickly became a favorite in their taproom. It took three years, but they're now canning Reclaimed Rye, whose name is also a nod to the wood used to make the bars, picnic tables, and walls in the Creature Comforts brewery, all designed and built from local woodworkers.
Goose Island is one of the pioneers of boozy, barrel-aged stouts with more than 25 years of experience. Their latest success — aged in the same barrelhouse where the legendary Bourbon County Stout matures — is Brasserie Noir: an imperial stout aged in Cabernet barrels for up to 12 months. The Cab barrels infuse some sweetness, acidity, and dark fruit flavors into the beer, which weighs in at 11.3% ABV in 765ml bottles.
There are several reasons you don't see many craft lagers on store shelves. One is that while easy to drink, lagers are harder to make, with flaws that are tougher to hide behind a mountain of hops. In 2000, Firestone Walker released a lager, only to see it drowned out unceremoniously by the hop craze. Now, 18 years later, this new all-malt lager is ready for its debut, brewed in the classic Munich Helles style using German pilsner and North American pale malts.
A classic West Coast IPA with a modern twist. That's the latest creation from Sierra Nevada, named Hop Bullet after a new brewing technique. The technique involves adding a double-barrel blast of Magnum hops and lupulin dust to the beer. The dust is the yellow powder that contains all the resin and oils responsible for the flavor and aroma, and it balances out the bitterness. It's 8% ABV, very approachable, and another victory from a craft brewing legend.
An annual late winter release from Elysian Brewing, Split Shot Milk Stout pairs two of Seattle's flagship beverages. The 5.6% ABV beer is brewed with Elysian's neighbor Stumptown Coffee Roasters using a pound per barrel of cold-infused espresso. The mixture gives the stout plenty of coffee flavors, balanced with a hint of sweetness from the added milk sugar for a smooth sessionable brew that's warming enough for winter but light enough to welcome in spring.
Each year Lagunitas brews their imperial coffee stout and hunts down the right barrels to take the beer up a notch. For the latest release, the brewery was able to snag some sought-after barrels from Willett Distillery that once held their rye whiskey. After some time mingling in the wood, "Willettized" is bottled at 12.6% with tasting notes that include chocolate, coffee, oak, and a dash of sweetness from the wood influence. Available in six packs, it might be the best value for a barrel-aged stout you'll ever find.
Founded in 2014 by three like-minded beer lovers, Other Half Brewing in Brooklyn, New York has quickly made a name for themselves. Other Half likes to travel and collaborate with lots of different brewers but always returns home to New York to cater to the locals. All Green Everything is one of their staples, brewed with Amarillo, Citra, Mosaic, and Motueka hops. It's a hop lovers dream and packs a punch at 10.5% ABV.
