Is there anything more summer than Rosé and Sangria? How about combining the two. This summer cocktail recipe is about as sunny as things get. And if you need a reason to celebrate, we’ve got a few.

For starters, the Fourth of July is just a few days away. Even if you’re not big on the holiday, it falls on a summer weekend so that’s kinda nice. Bastille Day is coming up, if that’s more your speed. And the long mild days are always worth raising a glass to, in our opinion.

Move over IPAs — matcha beer is the new summer drink to try

What exactly is Matcha Beer?

Matcha Beer

Summer is here. It’s the season of days spent at the lake, beach, or floating in a river or creek with a beer in your hand. And while we enjoy a classic, crisp pilsner or hoppy IPA on a humid summer day, this year, we’re all about the trending Matcha Beer.

Before I delve into the beer itself, it’s essential to provide some background on matcha. In my years of writing professionally, I’ve spent a lot of time enjoying different types of tea and herbal beverages. When it comes to tea-centric drinks, it’s challenging to beat the appeal of matcha. Not only is matcha flavorful but this green-hued ground powder made from green tea leaves is also known for its antioxidant and healthy properties.
