Mid-strength beer is gaining popularity as a moderate drinking option among consumers seeking lower alcohol content.
New American Light Lager (think: Budweiser) just doesn't stand up to the chilies in chili. As its name implies, a light lager is a type of beer with the mildest, most delicate flavor. While they're refreshing on a hot day, they certainly don't have a robust profile, nor the depth that's necessary to bring any nuanced tasting notes to chili, even after reducing with a simmer.
Most water filter pitchers are made of BPA-free plastic. But as new research shows that bottled-water drinkers ingest tens of thousands of excess microplastic particles, wellness lovers have begun to look askance at water filters that are themselves made of plastic.

It's been wonderful to watch our industry blossom and come into its own. We started out with a handful of small cocktail-focused bars sprinkled throughout different pockets of the city that were trying to stand out among longstanding dive bars and bustling restaurant bars. But they've now burst onto the national map. My favorite thing, though, is that all of this growth still has something very beautifully Philadelphia to it.
I was standing on line with my parents at Tree House's original location, where we waited an hour and a half for 12 beers. I thought, 'this is a business I want to get into.' These were the salad days of craft beer, when it seemed like the lines would never end.
Dogfish Head and the Grateful Dead both began as mere ideas, and thinking back to the beginnings of Dogfish, never in my wildest daydreams did I imagine we would one day be collaborating with a group as culturally influential as the Grateful Dead. One heck of a wild ride, our now more than 10-year relationship with the Dead has reinforced my belief in the value of thoughtful, authentic, against-the-grain experimentation.
The days of having great liquid alone? Those days are behind us now. It's really that total guest experience, so we've really leaned into that and really focused on training our employees, making our environment as approachable and inclusive as possible, and just not taking any customer for granted.
Often nondescript from the outside and thus easy to miss, these cosy, homely, rustic cafe-style bars typically have plain dark-wood furniture, candles on the tables, aged knick-knacks and faded pictures. There will be dim lighting, usually from antique-style lamps, and they make ideal hubs they are often referred to as a surrogate living room.
It helped redefine modern craft beer through bold innovation, fearless creativity and an unwavering commitment to great beer. As we begin a new chapter for this great brand, our priority is to refocus BrewDog on the craft beer excellence that made it beloved in the first place and strategically invest to return the operations to profitable growth.
Low Key represents a deliberate innovation play for Harpoon based on emerging cultural trends toward moderation over abstention, the company notes. Rather than simply diluting an existing popular recipe, the team applied new techniques to preserve flavor, aroma, and craft quality, just at a lower ABV.
Goose Island Beer Co. unveiled its latest brew to join the brewery's Beer Hug family: Big Hazy Pineapple Beer Hug, an imperial hazy IPA. Clocking in at 9.9% ABV, Big Hazy Pineapple Beer Hug brings a pineapple-forward profile to the Beer Hug lineup, delivering a juicy tropical aroma, a plush hazy body, and a smooth finish that balances intensity with drinkability, the company says.
