Perpetually Hungry
Watermelon Beer Cocktail
Nothing says summer quite like a slice of ripe watermelon, and we can taste it in this refreshing summer shandy featuring wheat ale.
Your favorite childhood treat just got a whole lot better. Hints of rosemary, your favorite fruity beer, and mixed berries make this boozy popsicle a beautifully boozy treat.
Don't be fooled by the name-this classic combination of rum and ginger beer is a great way to spice up your summer. We love the crystallized ginger and lime garnish. Nothing says "special occasion" like a good garnish, right?
Touchdown? Bottoms up! We love the way tart lemon and sweet blackberry compliment the bitterness of a good pale pale ale-and a sprig of mint is the perfect cool finish.
Who would have thought that replacing vodka with beer in a Bloody Mary would be such a delicious transition? A good IPA will be your best bet to complement the tomato juice and spices. And we HEAR (you know, from friends) that it's a heck of a hangover cure.
We're up for fruit and herbs in just about any libation-especially our beer cocktails, as it turns out. This sangria features fresh oranges, a kick of tequila, and sprigs of rosemary and thyme to finish.
If you're as obsessed with Sriracha as we are, you're going to LOVE this one. An ice cold lager meets the distinct fire of Sriracha, along with a few dashes of Maggi sauce, jalapeu00f1os, and a little fresh lime.
This sweet and spicy combo is sure to put some spring in your step. Vodka, honey, chile, lemon and a Pilsner are all that's needed to make this perfect companion to your game day festivities.
They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but we say you can give the Old Fashioned a brand new look. A wheat ale gives new life to this classic combination, complete with the signature orange twist.
We're pretty charmed by this one-it shoots a nod to some of our favorite fall flavors. This shandy twist is a delicious combination of cider and pumpkin ale, garnished with lemon and a cinnamon stick.
Sip your way into cooler days with this satisfying shandy. There's plenty of sweetness thanks to the bourbon and maple syrup, and the flavor is rounded off with orange juice and a dash of coffee bitters.
This deliciously creamy cocktail is made extra-smooth thanks to the addition of an egg and the flavors of Averna amaro. Freshly grated nutmeg gives this drink a sweet, dark and nutty flavor. Perfect for fall.
This cocktail features steam beer, which is full-bodied and more bubbly than your standard ale. Its unique flavor is complemented by elderflower and cherry liqueur and a shot of rye whiskey.
Those of you who love bitter drinks have found yourselves in the right place. This mixture of amaro, rye, pumpkin butter, bitters and dark ale is serious with just a hint of sweet.
This wonderfully Irish cocktail is a blend of Guinness, sparkling brut, creme de cassis and brandy soaked cherries. Not to mention, its stunning hue looks especially gorgeous once poured.
