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.

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.

Whisky, Scotch, Bottle

Twenty years is a long time to wait for anything, let alone a whisky, but Bowmore is betting its newest release is one worth the delay.

The distillery, founded in 1779 in the town of Bowmore, is the oldest licensed distillery on Islay. It’s also the second-oldest in Scotland, and one of the few that still runs its own floor maltings, using peat smoke to dry the barley on-site.
