Sierra Nevada Brewing Company is teaming up with the National Park Foundation (NPF). It’s not the the first time the west coast brewery has voiced its support for land conservation and sustainability and it certainly won’t be the last. Amid the context of federal cuts directly affecting the National Park Service, the team-up is all the more important.

The partnership is two-fold, as the brewery will aid the NPF in its mission to protect endangered species and vital ecosystems. These are the public lands we treasure and explore and recreate in. And the partnership is going one step further starting in April, when Sierra Nevada will release limited edition labels and packaging for its famed pale ale.

“We believe deeply in the environmental and social importance of national parks and public land,” said Mandi McKay, chief sustainability and social impact officer at Sierra Nevada. “The goal of this partnership is to support our nation’s parks and highlight the work of NPF in sustaining them for years to come. We’ve long been inspired by natural places in our name, our packaging, and in our decades of land conservation efforts. We invite craft beer fans to join us in supporting our parks.”

The new design will feature iconic landmarks from beloved places like Yellowstone National Park, Big Bend, Yosemite, and the Great Smoky Mountains. Get ’em while you can, as the limited edition labels only run through July. Crack a beer in the name of one of America’s greatest features.

Check out our feature on the best gose beers while you’re at it, as the style is made for spring. Cheers.

It's August 21st and that means the official drop by a couple of household name brands. Coors and Wrangler have teamed up for some gear befitting of the American west. We've seen a lot of summer beer releases as of late but this one is a little different.

This is a collaboration you can wear, featuring denim vests with custom embroidery and hoodies. It wouldn't be a western team-up without a proper pair of jeans and there are logo t-shirts in the mix too. The collection is available on either the Coors or Wrangler websites.

Sierra Nevada PILS.

Inspired by the beaming beer culture of Europe, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. has released a proper can. The acclaimed label is selling its European PILS in smaller cans, similar to what you might see across the Atlantic in drinking establishments in Amsterdam or Prague. Now, you can get the beer in a petite 8.4-ounce can.

Boasting a clean mouthfeel with floral notes and touches of malt, the pilsner is a dandy. It's the kind of light lager beer your summer may have been missing. Food-friendly, it can pair up with anything from fish and chips and tacos to barbecue.
