It’s almost time for us to start looking towards fun drink ideas that we can try out this year when the temperatures rise, and one of our goals this year is to check out more beer cocktails.

A New Kind of Drink

While most of us are certainly familiar with mixed drinks like sangria which use wine or margaritas which use liquor, beer cocktails are something that is not as common to see. However, made right and with an open palate, you are sure to find something that you will like.

As the flavor and alcohol content of beer are not particularly strong, the best thing that you can do when making or ordering a beer cocktail is to find something that uses other flavors to complement and not overwhelm the beer.

What You Can Find

There are some beer cocktail ideas that you might be familiar with, and that you might not even think of as being “cocktails”. For example, a shandy or a Radler, both of which are alcoholic drinks containing beer as well as lemonade or fruit juice, can be considered beer cocktails.

There are plenty of other options out there, however, including the spicy Mexican michelada and other ideas like beer punch, which combines pineapple juice, ginger, and beer.

Seek out beer cocktails that you might enjoy and get ready to make a move towards sampling a new, refreshing idea this spring!

Session IPA

Session IPAs are a big trend in this beer style, offering the hoppy and fruity flavor of a regular IPA while lowering the style’s alcohol content and heaviness. Session IPAs typically clock in around 3.5%-4.5% ABV, making them a perfect option to drink on those long patio evenings or while doing yard work.

New England IPA

Looking for a beer that bursts with fruit flavors? New England IPAs are a perfect choice! Spring tends to liven our senses and awake our taste buds, and the heavy tropical notes of the hop-light NEIPA style is a perfect complement to the turning of the calendar.

Belgian IPA

Belgian beers are known for being funky and fresh, and this trademark carries over to the Belgian IPA beer style. Belgian yeasts add a funkiness to the classic hop-heavy flavor of an IPA, making a unique creation that’s a must for die-hard beer lovers.
