It’s August 21st and that means the official drop by a couple of household name brands. Coors and Wrangler have teamed up for some gear befitting of the American west. We’ve seen a lot of summer beer releases as of late but this one is a little different.

This is a collaboration you can wear, featuring denim vests with custom embroidery and hoodies. It wouldn’t be a western team-up without a proper pair of jeans and there are logo t-shirts in the mix too. The collection is available on either the Coors or Wrangler websites.

There are twenty pieces in all and there are even western-themed watercolor prints available. It’s a collaboration that celebrates the unique landscape of the American west, one made of open spaces, mountain landscapes, cowboys, small towns, and more. It’s also the backdrop for these two big titles in the realm of beer and fashion.

Whether you’re looking to nail the western look or need something for that trip to Wyoming, this a fine option to take. It’s good wear for the dive bar as well. We can’t really argue with a good piece of denim.

For those who don’t know, Coors was founded in 1873 in Golden, Colorado. The Banquet Beer is among its main offerings, a refreshing American lager. Wrangler got its start in the early 1900s, working specifically to outfit the rodeo crowd.

Leinenkugel’s drops shandy-infused custard sandwich
A boozy ice cream sandwich for the ages
Leidenkugel's Summer Shandwich.

There are a lot of fine ways to beat the summer heat. Lately, it's been frozen treats hit with a little hooch from the likes of Miller High Life. Following suit and working with boozy ice cream pros Tipsy Scoop, Leinenkugel's has dropped a special frozen custard.

Inspired by the Shandy, the so-called Shandwich is made with an assortment of ingredients. They add up to be a nice homage to the brand's home state of Wisconsin. The result is something we very much would enjoy, sitting by the lake on a hot August afternoon.

Why “smooth” is the most debated word in bourbon — and what it really means
How does a bourbon end up with a "smooth" flavor?

There’s no descriptive term more divisive in the bourbon world than “smooth.” This is because, even though it’s a reasonably well-known whiskey term, it’s so vague, generic, and overused that drinkers shudder when someone uses it as a descriptor for the whiskey they just imbibed. That doesn’t stop people from using it, though.

In almost two decades of writing about alcohol (with a strong emphasis on whiskey), I’ve written countless tasting notes. While I try to avoid using the word, I can understand its appeal. We all have a notion of what it means when we see it. This brings us to one crucial question, though. While it’s a seemingly generic term, what exactly does “smooth” mean when it comes to bourbon? What makes a bourbon smooth?

The lager comes just in time for International Beer Day on August 1st and is made in Boston with Maine-grown malt. The light summer beer is the perfect sipper for the second half of summer, whether you're lounging in a hammock or celebrating the 50th anniversary of Jaws.

Originally called the Harvest Lager, this batch is simply a lager. It's crisp and thirst-quenching and comes in at just 5% ABV. The cans are a work of art, celebrating the deep love of nature that L.L. Bean is known for.
