To Øl knows how to celebrate the holidays. Each year they release a handful of new Christmas themed brews offering you an overseas taste of the season. One Ton of Christmas begins as a traditional Berliner Weisse before To Øl packs loads of classic Danish ingredients like cherries, redcurrant, and prunes. The finished product is a fruity, tart beer that is packaged in festive black 22oz cans.
Victory at Sea has been one of the flagship beers at San Diego's Ballast Point Brewing for years. But when they teamed up with High West Distillery to create a barrel-aged version of the Imperial Porter, it really took things to the next level. The beer is brewed with cold-steeped coffee and vanilla before spending time in bourbon and rye whiskey casks from High West. Available for a limited time in 4-packs at 12% ABV.
For nearly 200 years, Guinness was stored and shipped in barrels. To honor that tradition the legendary Irish brewers have teamed up with Bulleit for the first in a new line of barrel-aged beers. The iconic stout is brewed in Dublin and then sent to the new Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Baltimore where it spends eight months maturing in Bulleit Bourbon barrels. The new brew is available in limited supply until the end of the year in 11.2oz bottles at an ABV of 10%.
Currently rated as the #1 beer in the world, Toppling Goliath is releasing another batch of their Kentucky Brunch Brand Stout later this year. The 13% ABV Imperial stout is brewed with coffee and aged in whiskey barrels and packaged in hand-waxed, hand-numbered 12oz bottles. Toppling Goliath describes KBBS as "chocolate chip pancakes drenched with maple syrup served with espresso and a shot of bourbon, all in one sip." Limited to one bottle per person, this brewery-only release is slated to return on December 15th.
Peanuts are the salty snack of choice for plenty of beer drinkers, so it shouldn't be a total shock to see Mr. Peanut's monocled mug show up on a beer can. But rather than a random sponsorship, this beer is made with the Planter's snacks — 800 pounds to be exact — brewed along with Citra and Wakatu hops. The snack company tapped tiny Noon Whistle Brewery from Lombard, Illinois for the collaboration, with 16oz cans available for about a month only in the state of Illinois.
Known for their striking can design and commitment to quality beer, Commonwealth Brewing has a new milk stout just in time for cooler temperatures. Boujee is an Imperial Chocolate Vanilla Milk stout that brewed with loads of chocolate and conditioned on whole split Indonesian vanilla beans before it ages in bourbon barrels. The rich, creamy stout is then canned at Commonwealth headquarters in Virginia Beach at 13.1% where they operate out of a renovated fire and rescue station that was built in the 1960s.
Created with New York-based Keegan Ales, IHOPS is a beer built around the breakfast chain's signature buttermilk pancake batter. The beer uses Keegan's stout and infuses the batter along with fall flavors like maple syrup, cinnamon, and pumpkin to mimic the flavors found in their Best-of-Fall pancakes. But before you walk into an IHOP expecting beer for breakfast, know that the limited-edition brew won't be available in restaurants, but can be found at New York-area bars and events this fall.

One of the most sought-after beers in the world, Fundamental Observation from Bottle Logic was rereleased earlier this year. The imperial vanilla stout is aged in bourbon barrels that previously held Buffalo Trace, Four Roses, Heaven Hill, and W.L. Weller after the beer mingles with large amounts of Madagascar vanilla beans over the course of a year. Part of their Stasis Project Series, it's packaged in 500ml bottles at 14.3% ABV.
Inspired by the brewery's location in San Francisco's Potrero Hill neighborhood and the sunshine that breaks through the daily fog, Fog Breaker is a new IPA with a Bay Area spin. Anchor used whole-cone Denali and Cascade hops in the boil, along with essential oils derived from Citra Cryo hops for a tropical aroma and a thirst-quenching, resinous finish. Fog Breaker is also the first beer exclusively developed at Anchor Public Taps' pilot brewery and features packaging that uses the same iconic International Orange color as the Golden Gate Bridge.
Inspired by classic Lambic beers from Belgium, Beatification is arguably the best American sour beer of all-time. The beer debuted in 2006 and was last seen about a year ago in Santa Rosa as a brewery-only release. Released this month at Russian River, the new batch is spontaneously fermented and matured in used wine barrels from local wineries. Available in 375ml corked and caged bottles at 6% ABV.
Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Up Front Brewing is the passion project of gypsy brewer Jack Griffin.

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.

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. The brand's flagship, Bubbles is technically a Rosé Ale and is made with peach and cranberry juice that gives the drink a pink hue. Bubbles is canned year-round at 6.2% ABV and is a lightly tart, fruity, flavorful option poolside or around the grill this summer.
Developed for whisky drinkers that prefer a chilled dram, Norlan's Rauk tumbler takes its name from the old Scottish word for rock. The glass is made of crystal and precision modeled to touch down on four crystal points, making surface contact but providing the appearance that it's hovering. The Rauk also has extruded v-shaped markings inside that offer friction points for gripping slippery peels in cocktails before you muddle them back to life.

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.

The pale ale is 5.5% ABV, gluten-removed, and has only 165 calories per can.
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.

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.

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 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.

It's packaged in corked and caged 500ml bottles in limited quantities and will be available this month throughout their distribution network.
