Diamond Unicorn is one of Lone Pine's staple New England–style double IPAs. It’s brewed with extra oats for a silky mouthfeel and highlighted by Ella and Vic Secret hops.

Recipe: Sassafras Forest Wheat

For this foraged recipe that includes sassafras root, spruce tips, and oak bark, any number of yeasts can work—but we think Norwegian kveik is a great fit.

Recipe: KC Bier Pils

“A German pils should be pale and refreshing,” says Steve Holle, founder of KC Bier. “The delicate but assertive bitterness should combine with the crisp maltiness to produce a clean and slightly dry finish.”
