One of the best tasting non-alcoholic beers in the nation is about to come in a variety pack. Sierra Nevada will drop the bundle in December, set to include favorites like Trail Pass IPA and Trail Pass Golden along with two brand new releases.

The bundle will see the debut of Trail Pass Brewveza, a NA blonde ale inspired by Mexican lagers, and a Trail Pass Hazy IPA, featuring juicy flavors and plenty of citrus. You can get your hands on these cans from coast to coast starting next month. The 12-pack includes three each of all four beers. Additionally, the new hazy IPA will be sold on its own in six-packs.

All of the Trail Pass beers are made with a maltase negative yeast strain. The approach requires a bit more heavy-lifting from a brewing standpoint but the results are clearly worth the extra effort. The line features some of the best-tasting NA beers on the market.

Major players in craft beer and music are celebrating by way of a collaboration. Dogfish Head Brewery has teamed up with the Grateful Dead with the release of the Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale.

Brewed with a hippy mindset, the beer features Kernza® grains, granola, and a pair of hops in Azacca and El Dorado.

Big beer is once again betting on the Super Bowl

Chiefs, Eagles, and Bud Light

Beer

The major brands are paying big bucks for major placement at this year's Super Bowl. It's a tale as old as time, really, but perhaps with a few plot twists in 2025 as Americans increasingly reach for options beyond just beer. Bud Light is at the top of the heap, billing itself as the official beer of the NFL.

Others, of course, are joining the party, shelling out millions for coveted advertisement slots. According to Forbes, multinational beer colossus AB InBev will be behind five of the six spots reserved for beer. Viewers can look forward to commercials from the likes of Budweiser, Bud Light, Coors Light, Michelob Ultra, Stella Artois, and Busch Light.
