Low Key represents a deliberate innovation play for Harpoon based on emerging cultural trends toward moderation over abstention, the company notes. Rather than simply diluting an existing popular recipe, the team applied new techniques to preserve flavor, aroma, and craft quality, just at a lower ABV.

Goose Island Beer Co. unveiled its latest brew to join the brewery's Beer Hug family: Big Hazy Pineapple Beer Hug, an imperial hazy IPA. Clocking in at 9.9% ABV, Big Hazy Pineapple Beer Hug brings a pineapple-forward profile to the Beer Hug lineup, delivering a juicy tropical aroma, a plush hazy body, and a smooth finish that balances intensity with drinkability, the company says.

Ninja vs. Unicorn is classified as a double IPA and offers a generous 8% ABV. "A golden haze speaks to the unfiltered, grapefruit-noted, balanced IPA's character with a shockingly low bitterness, considering how much hops go into the brewing," Horan says about what makes the brew so special. More than five pounds of hops are included in each barrel used to brew this crowd pleaser.

When asked what he was drinking for the holidays during a 1968 Town and Country interview, Newman listed St. Pauli Girl by name and saying, "if it's good enough to be my favorite for the rest of the year, it's good enough for special occasions." St. Pauli Girl had only been introduced to the U.S. market in 1965, so he'd become smitten with it pretty quickly.

My generation's social lives revolved around drinking too much, but I'm glad it's not like that any more When I was growing up in the early 1990s, I counted down the days to turning 18 so that I could drink in the local hotspot - The Meeting Place.

Bell's, famous for its Two Hearted IPA and summer-coded Oberon, was founded in 1985 as Kalamazoo Brewing Co. in Michigan. In that first year, it brewed 135 barrels. Today, it brews nearly 500,000 barrels annually. A barrel is roughly 31 gallons, or about two kegs' worth of beer. So the brewery's production went from around 270 kegs in 1986 to around 934,000 kegs today.

3333 Georgia Ave., NW The beer garden is hosting a watch party for the opening ceremony on February 6 at 2 PM. Specials include $5 pints and $10 steins, and they're breaking out the shot-ski in celebration of winter sports. (That's a ski affixed with shot glasses on top.) The ceremony will be streamed indoors and outdoors, and the bar is also showing various events throughout the games.

Fish and chips is about as iconic as you can get for pub fare. It's a perfect harmony of tender, subtly sweet and briny cod with a crisp, buttery coating; plus, salty, starchy fries. The only thing a classic fish and chips meal is missing is a good beer. After all, it's a standard order in pubs, where many guests are already enjoying pints - and that's not to mention that many chefs actually batter the fish in beer.

We love Pretty Decent Beer Co; not only does it make some of the best beers in the biz (always with excellent names and labels), it celebrates women in the brewing industry.

No trip to the brewery is complete without sampling the wares. Even if it's a place you visit regularly, you'll likely want to sample most of what it has to offer at least once. But while a greater variety may seem more enticing, it can also signal a potential red flag. Every kind of beer they have on tap means another tap that needs to be maintained. The more tap lines they have, the more likely it is that maintenance or cleaning gets neglected.

John Molson founded Canada's oldest brewery on the banks of the St. Lawrence River in Montreal in 1786. Ever since, the Molson brewers have been passionate about brewing beer for Canadians to enjoy.

The DNA of a good dive bar isn't necessarily its menu, but its feel. It should be well-worn, the vinyl on the stools crackling like a dry lake bed on the verge of a rip. The soundtrack is familiar and at a volume that muffles nearby table conversation. The lighting is low, augmented by ambient string lights and flashes from arcade games. Drinks should be cheap. Yukon Tavern in Sellwood is a couple of those things, and more.

Beer has been brewed at Weltenburg Abbey, a stunning, still active monastery on the banks of the Danube in Bavaria, for nearly 1,000 years.

The "Silver Bullet" (as it's known to fans) first hit shelves in 1978 as part of the "light beer wars" of the era, when competitors like Miller Lite and Natty Light also broke onto the scene. But, inventor Bill Coors was workshopping what would become Coors Light as early as 1941. It was honed for decades before its debut, and today, Coors Light boasts an Instagram profile with hundreds of thousands of followers.

Budweiser is turning 150 and to celebrate, the beer brand is introducing a yearlong campaign that honors its rich history and American heritage. To kick off an exciting year of celebration, Budweiser debuts brand-new, limited-edition Heritage Can Series 12-pack designed to take fans on a visual journey through the brand's 150-year history. And answers the call of consumers begging Budweiser to bring back vintage can designs.

After a lengthy delay that included much fretting among industry insiders, the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) were unveiled earlier this month. Any fears that anti-alcohol activists had infiltrated the quinquennial process were eased, as the new guidelines preach moderation over specific daily drink allowances. Beer Marketer's Insights senior editor Christopher Shepard, who has followed the process closely, joined the Brewbound Podcast to discuss the DGA, the fraught path to publication and what this could mean for brewers.

Boston Beer posted Q3 revenue of $537.5 million, down 11.2% year-over-year, while expanding gross margin to 50.8%.

Since becoming CEO of Molson Coors last fall, I've thought a lot about the need to champion not just beer - a cultural staple of conviviality for thousands of years - but the occasions where beer has played a role in bringing people together. And indeed, the beverage industry thinks in terms of "occasions," but it's obvious that we're in the middle of something culturally and economically, broadly thought of as strain on Americans' wallets mixed with what some have dubbed a "loneliness epidemic."
