Sierra Nevada is for many people the original craft beer, the one that showed them that beer can be more exciting than a plain old lager. And now this venerable institution is teaming up with up and coming stars on the craft beer scene, Omnipollo. The two are working together on a hazy IPA ready for Sierra Nevada’s self-made Hazy IPA Day holiday on August 15.

The two brewers have created Hazy Day IPA, a rich and juicy IPA with a hefty 8.2% abv and flavors of citrus, pineapple, and orange candy. Hazy IPAs were a huge trend for a while but have been no so celebrated of late, so it’s nice to see two brewers embracing this style which has the easy to drink qualities that make it accessible but also the robust bitter flavors that IPA enthusiasts look for.

“We go all in for Hazy IPA Day,” said Isaiah Mangold, Head Innovation Brewer at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. “We wanted a premium example of the style. So we designed this ultra-Hazy DIPA with our friends at Omnipollo for maximum hazy, hoppy flavor. Even the art on the cans was a collaborative effort. You can see and taste the influence from both breweries.”

The Hazy Day IPA won’t be the easiest beer to get hold of though, as it will be a limited edition release. You’ll have to pick it up in person at one Sierra Nevada’s breweries in California or North Carolina, or it will be available at some bars around New York City. If you’re outside those areas, you can try the Sierra Nevada online shop to score a can of this release.

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. The beer commemorates the 60th birthday of the iconic American rock band and the beer label's 30th anniversary.

Brewery founder Sam Calagione spent some time with Grateful Dead's archivist and historian David Lemeiux, listening to music and sipping beers. The two decided on the perfect recipe to pair with the music and even curated a playlist to accompany the beer. 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.

Cocktails to make with Eli Manning’s team up with Knob Creek
Make use of your high-end bourbons in these cocktails
Knob Creek

New Orleans legend Eli Manning recently teamed up with Knob Creek for a special bourbon release named Bold Pick -- making that an obvious choice of sipper for watching the game this weekend. But as well as drinking your bourbon neat, you can also enjoy it in cocktails.

The key to working with high-quality spirits is to remember that they don't need a ton of other ingredients to make a great drink. You're looking to highlight and emphasize the best flavors of the spirit, not to cover it up with a boat load of liqueurs, syrups, or other additions. So if you want a drink to make the best of a fine rye or bourbon, then look for a simple and classic recipe. Knob Creek has a couple of suggestions for minimal, elegant cocktails that will bring out the best of your spirits and make a drink worthy of those high-end bottles -- the always popular Manhattan cocktail, and the classic sour inspired Scofflaw cocktail.
