Hi-Wire Brewing Big Top Production Facility Dragon Fruit Kiwi Margarita

What the brewers say

“Uses lime peel, dragon fruit, and kiwi to create a sweet, tart, and tangy beer. Vanilla and lactose round out this ‘adult limeade.’”

What our panel thought

“Citrus nose with herbal, grassy, and fragrant floral notes, plus white grape, strawberry. Lemonade-like taste with smidges of kiwi, light pear, vanilla, peppercorn. Dry lactic-acid bite in the finish. Enjoyable.”

What our editors thought

“Sweet tropical-fruit nose, vanilla highlight. Dry and loose sip with light body, lemon-lime citrus, and a hefty salt note. Margarita vibe is significant, but it feels effervescent and light.”

How We Review

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Roses by the Stairs Brewing Sherri Dear

“Bright red color, inviting curiosity. Aroma of a just-opened bag of Wonder Bread plus passion fruit and papaya. Strong tart, fruity flavor profile: prickly pear, lychee, watermelon. The sour-bread first impression transitions to a fruity aftertaste. Pretty well balanced.”

Uhl’s Brewing Co Blackberry * Peach Fruit Compote

“Red-orange, opaque smoothie. Fruity, creamy nose with strong vanilla, evoking beach cocktails or coconut-peach pie. Flavors of tropical fruit, peach, blackberry, coconut, vanilla. Restrained sourness. Round finish. Vanilla flirts with ‘artificial.’ Noticeable warming alcohol—Malibu rum.”

Idle Hands Craft Ales Weinlager

“White-wine grape juice in the aroma, with funky notes reminiscent of aged lambic hops. Balanced and interesting with weird edges that add character without being over the top. Pushes the boundaries of a lager.”

New Belgium Dominga Grapefruit

New Belgium wood cellar blender Lauren Limbach was gifted a new foeder that she aptly named Dominga—a play on the Spanish word for Sunday. She first created a mimosa-inspired golden sour called “Dominga: Goddess of Brunch.” Now we are excited to introduce the cocktail-inspired version, Dominga Grapefruit Paloma. Inspired by the classic cocktail of Mexico, Dominga packs a refreshing combo of bright grapefruit and lime flavors, along with agave and a pinch of salt.

Firestone Walker Oaktoberfest

Oaktoberfest is our oak-inspired homage to the great German tradition of Oktoberfest. We go the extra mile of maturing this beer in French oak barrels to create an amazingly smooth mouthfeel. The result is a classic German festbier with a hint of West Coast hoppiness. Grab your stein, don your lederhosen, and enjoy!

Firestone Walker Parabola ’24

Parabola is always a beast of a beer, with intense flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate, vanilla, and roast coffee—yet each annual release also bears its own subtle imprint. For this latest edition, we aged the beer for a year in 12-year Elijah Craig barrels. These coveted bourbon barrels imparted signature notes of charred oak, caramel, and cinnamon, taking the Parabola experience to new heights. Pour some out in your favorite snifter; behold the impossibly opaque color as you allow it to warm up a bit; and then let the dark magic of Parabola stun your palate with its unrivaled flavor and complexity.

Sierra Nevada Cosmic Little Thing Hazy Double IPA

For the latest in the Hazy IPA series, ride Sierra Nevada’s interstellar wave of tropical flavor in this Cosmic Little Thing, a hazy nebula glowing with Comet, Strata, and Helios hops for notes of citrus, berries, and lychee. Head into orbit with this 8 percent ABV hazy double IPA before the next Hazy IPA rotator hits. Look for Cosmic Little Thing in six-packs and 19.2 oz singles.

Firestone Walker Cosmic Crusher Juicy Imperial IPA

Out-of-this-world flavor that packs a punch—take a journey with Cosmic Crusher. “Cosmic Crusher is our crazy adventure into the realm of imperial juicy IPAs,” says brewmaster Matt Brynildson. Cosmic Crusher is built around two ultra-tropical hops—Galaxy and Strata. The result is a level of flavor, aroma, and mouthfeel that can only materialize at high strength, crossing the line into a whole new cosmos of punchy mango and pineapple character. SKUs available: 12 oz six-pack cans, 19.2 oz single serve, and Mind Haze Variety Pack.
