Outside Voice is a Session IPA fashioned for warm, sunny days and the cookouts that coincide. Notes of dank tropical fruit lead the way, followed by an undercurrent of citrus zest and piney bitterness.

Stone Brewing CoPeak ConditionsHazy Double IPA | 8.1% ABV | 55 IBUOffered By: WESTEXANS |
West Coast hops. East Coast haze. Hawaiian inspiration. This ridiculously tasty double IPA combines influence from across the country with passion fruit, orange and guava into one of the most flavorful beers we’ve ever released. One could call it a perfect storm, we’d say it’s Peak Conditions. Either way, our fans turned out in numbers to vote for this beer’s return – and we’re more than happy to oblige.

Boston Beer CompanyUtopiasOther Strong Ale or Lager | 28% ABV | Unknown IBUOffered By: PHATMEAT |
Brewing, aging, and blending Utopias is a multi-step, time-intensive and complex process. At 28% ABV, this brew is reminiscent of a rich vintage Port, old Cognac, or fine Sherry with notes of dark fruit, subtle sweetness, and a deep rich malty smoothness.
