After almost a year of being confined to our homes, this summer might be as close as we come as adults to replicating the bliss that was Summer Vacation. As soon as that last school bell rang, we would wander out into the world as free people, with what seemed like an endless summer full of possibilities ahead of us. Just like those good ol’ days, this summer is going to be one worth writing home about.

This summer we released TWO beers, perfect for your summer sipping. So whether you spend your summer lost in the wilderness, next to a grill, or floating down a river, our Pre-Prohibition Lager and Double IPA are the best beers to drink this summer.

East Brother Beer’s Pre-Prohibition Lager

The first of the two is a no-brainer when it comes to summer beers. Light in color, and at only 5.5% ABV, our Pre-Pro Lager will keep you cool and refreshed all day long. The Pre-Prohibition Lager, part of our Lager Series, is our take on the quintessential American Lager, the kind of Lager we were drinking long before Prohibition.

Whether you’re enjoying a classic all-American hot dog or living it up with a rib-eye steak, our Pre-Pro Lager truly shines when paired with anything that’s been grilled. So go ahead and light up the grill, and crack open our Pre-Pro, summer is just getting started.

East Brother Beer’s Double IPA

The second of our summer releases is a West Coast Style Double IPA bursting with tropical notes of papaya, mango, and pineapple. This malty Ale, part of our Freighter Series, has a slightly bitter finish with some subtle alcohol warmth.

Coming in at 8.8% ABV, our Double IPA transitions perfectly from the pool to the dinner table. This Ale can stand up to the boldest flavors, so go ahead and pair it with something smothered in BBQ Sauce or that secret sauce your Uncle always seems to have stashed in his back pocket.
