Summer beer season is finally upon us! We may not be able to enjoy our summertime brews as we normally would, but breweries across the country are continuing to put out new brews.

We’ve rounded up new releases from breweries distributing across the country or large regions of the country so you will have access to most of them! These beers range from light refreshing Ales to heavy Imperial Stouts. Just because it’s warm outside doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice the quality of your beer!

Anchor Brewing

San Franpsycho® IPA

Anchor Brewing San Franpsycho® IPA is a collaboration with San Franpsycho®, a community-based clothing and lifestyle brand. This is a juicy IPA with El Dorado, Eureka, Cascade and Simcoe Cryo hops.

San Franpsycho® IPA won Gold for Best American IPA in the World Beer Awards in 2019. In 2018, San Franpsycho® IPA’s first release in bottles won Gold in the World Beer Awards
for Packaging Design and Bronze for Taste.

San Franpsycho® IPA is available nationwide now through September. You can find it near you by using the Anchor Beer Finder.

Oskar Blues Brewery

Can-O-Bliss Hazy IPA

Oskar Blues Can-O-Bliss Hazy IPA has hand-picked Strata, Eureka, Cashmere, Enigma and Hallertau Blanc hops and comes in at 7.2% ABV.

“Can-O-Bliss Hazy explodes with hop aroma as soon as you crack a can and it hits a glass,” said Juice Drapeau, head brewer for Oskar Blues. “A massive amount of haze leaves you dazed and confused, while huge hop flavors light you up like a midsummer fireworks display.”

Cabin Crusher Ale

Summit Cabin Crusher Kölsch-Style Ale with Lime has a combination of Lemon Drop and Loral hops, lime peel and lime puree. It’s easy-drinking, crisp and refreshing.
