Sip the Summer with These Craft Beers

Summer is for sunshine, sipping, and sampling. And local, small batch craft breweries are here to represent with a full stack of premium brews that are sure to whet your whistle and fuel your fun, even some from our home state of Georgia!

Social Fox

This local brew started its journey as a small homebrew club ten years ago and was winning awards even then. The founders soon partnered with a local craft beer legend, Scott Norwood, and took their label to the pros.

For a classically bold hop aroma with high bitterness and notes of melon, stone fruit, and peaches, try the Straight Outta Norcross West Coast IPA. If you’re more into the tropical flavor profile, grab the juicy and hazy Trop Tail for a balance of hoppy taste with grapefruit and tropical flavors. Rumor has it, their next rollout will be distilled spirits!

Wiseacre

Tennessee has entered the chat. Wisacre Brewing Company founders traveled the world to train and acquire a global brewing experience you can taste. The Memphis, TN, brewery crafts an extensive line of beers, ales, and lagers, all made from the exquisite water source of the Memphis Sands Aquifer. 

For a citrus-forward and tropical taste, try the Bow Echo Hazy IPA and enjoy the unique fluffy texture. If you’re more of a traditional IPA lover, go for the Ananda with all the classic hoppy flavors, notes of melon and citrus, and a pale, silky experience. 

Tucher

The Tucher way of brewing is a generational art form, more than just a standard process. This iconic German label is an import from its Motherland, and with it comes centuries of brewing mastery and perfection. The Pils is made from Tucher’s own Nuremberg well and is brewed with an intense hop aroma, true to the traditional style. Pair with your next seafood splurge or fried appetizer, because this Pils can do both. 

Genesee

146 years of beer. That’s how long the Genesee brand has been brewing up a good time. Founded in Rochester, NY, the original brew house was the first of its kind in 1819. It would later inspire 50 more local spots to open up and share the love of hops. The American-made label even made a comeback after being forced to close during prohibition. 

Since then, they’ve rolled dozens of tasty lines of beers, ales, and more, like these:

Ruby Red & Mango Peach Kolsch

These traditional German Golden Ales, or Kolsches, are the perfect refresher on a hot summer day. The Ruby Red has strong notes of ruby red grapefruit and a crisp, bright body, while the Mango Peach is juicy and fresh with a mild bitterness and malty body. Pair with your next grilling menu!

Genesee N.A.

The Non-Alcoholic brew from Genessee is just like the beer you love, but without the alcohol to go with it. It’s brewed the same, looks the same, smells the same, and yes, it even tastes the same. Perfect for a mid-week refresher.
