Not to be outdone by the many other producers of the craft beer movement, Sierra Nevada is also dropping new brews. The west coast brewery just released a new beer in Peachy Little Thing. It’s the latest installment in the popular Limited Hazy Series.

The stats on the beer? Peachy Little Thing has 18 IBUs and comes in at 7% ABV. It’s made with both Alora and Magnum hops and pours a pretty color. You can expect to see the beer on retail shelves by Memorial Day Weekend.

The 90s are resurfacing, in fashion and food and beyond. Fruited beers were all the rage back then and they seem to be making a triumphant return as we speak. And it’s not just microbreweries, it’s the big dogs too, as the recent re-release of Busch Light Apple suggests.

Peach just screams of summer so this is a timely release. We can imagine enjoying one on the deck with grilling tongs in hand. The beer, a hazy IPA in style, is made with natural peach flavoring, which plays off the hop bill nicely.

Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. has long been a leader in the craft brewing sector. Founded in 1979 by home brewers, the label has grown to one of the most prominent in the industry. The brand has breweries in both Chico, California and North Carolina and is known for iconic beers like the pale ale as well as some of the best non-alcoholic beers on the market.

Dessert-inspired coffee flavors to kick off the fall season
Frosted pumpkin roll coffee

Though flavored coffee is an enjoyable treat during any season, fall is one of the best times to explore indulgent experiences beyond traditional coffee roasts. Bones Coffee Company is bringing full-on flavor to the world of flavored coffees with two new legendary seasonal drops: Frosted Pumpkin Roll and Blackberry Cobbler. The brand is already known for its wide variety of pumpkin-flavored coffees, but this year, it brings something new to the table.

"Everyone’s got pumpkin spice—but nobody does it like Bones,” says Travis Rule, CEO and Co-Owner of Bones Coffee Company. “This fall, we’re adding two completely new, decadent flavors that feel like dessert in a mug." The Frosted Pumpkin Roll flavor features notes of cozy cinnamon, creamy frosting, and rich pumpkin spice. Meanwhile, the Blackberry Cobbler is inspired by Grandma’s best dessert, featuring a juicy, buttery blend that captures the sweet nostalgia of late autumn mornings. This year’s Fall Flavors lineup may be its most decadent yet by the brand—think rich cinnamon frosting, buttery berry crumble, and spiced apple donuts, all brewed into smooth, aromatic coffee.

Take your summer drinks up a notch with these beer cocktails
Beer is the base for these refreshing summer cocktails
Beer Cocktail

It’s the perfect season for an afternoon beer (especially a beer after mowing the lawn). A crisp pilsner, hoppy IPA, or fruity wheat beer is refreshing on a humid summer day. But if you’ve never used your favorite beer to make a cocktail, you’re truly missing out on something thirst-quenching, complex, and seasonally appropriate.

In my decades of writing about alcohol (with a strong emphasis on beer), I’ve tried my fair share of beer cocktails. I understand that the idea of using beer as the base for a cocktail seems a little strange to some drinkers. But didn’t you also think a pickle and peanut butter sandwich seemed like a strange combination? That worked out pretty well, right?
What is a beer cocktail?
