Threes Brewing in Brooklyn is ready for summer. The acclaimed New York City outfit has released a handful of beers, just in time for vacation season. Beer styles covered include lagers, pilsners, and even a non-alcoholic hop water.

The beers are available for nationwide shipping or can be picked up at one of the brand’s NYC outposts. First up, Sidenote, a hard seltzer brewed with Mosaic hops and pineapple. It’s a refreshing option built for hot days, coming in at just 5% ABV.

Next, Gender Neutral, a beer that celebrates Pride Month. The brew is a pale lager treated to lemon zest and is 4.5% ABV. Then, there’s Don’t Blink, a west coast Pilsner made with five different hop varieties and an ABV of 5.7%.

Next, Luger Lager, a Bavarian beer made in collaboration with NYC’s Peter Luger Steak House. Lastly, the aptly-named Plot Twist, a non-alcoholic drink made with hops that drinks like a sparkling water. Threes is also doing a Summer of Pils 8-pack that includes some of its most beloved Pilsners.

It’s yet another beer drop from a craft circuit that’s embracing the summer with intriguing new options. We’ve already seen some fine options and are excited for what’s next. Keep it right here for the latest on that front.

Threes Brewing started in 2014 and has since grown to include four pubs in the New York area. In 2024, it was named “brewery of the year” at the Great American Beer Festival. The label is led by brewer Josh Penney.

Skip the heavy drinks on the beach
Dad Water

Lately, it's been pretty clear that the worlds of health and alcohol have collided. The rising interest in health and fitness has made many drinkers rethink their alcohol choices, with more health-focused options on the market than ever before. From low-calorie options to non-alcoholic options, we live in a time where there's a canned cocktail option for every type of drinker. For those who have sensitive stomachs, drinks with no carbonation are the smartest choice. Here's why the zero-carbonation Dad Water is my go-to summer ready-to-drink cocktail.

I’m going to be drinking this refreshing spritz all summer long
Lillet

The spritz is an iconic summer drink, but my very favorite type of spritz isn't made with Aperol -- instead, it uses Lillet. If you haven't tried Lillet before, it's a little like vermouth, but with a hefty bitter edge from quinine that I love. If you enjoy the bitter and refreshing edge of tonic water, then I reckon you'd love Lillet Blanc too.

My usual go-to Lillet spritz recipe is equal parts of Lillet and sparkling water, plus an absolute ton of cucumber slices, all served in a big copa glass over a large ice cube. I find that the cucumber gives a crisp, juicy addition to the drink and makes for a lovely low-ABV sipper.
