What other drink gives you so many choices and so quickly brings to mind lazy summer evenings than the margarita, a perfect balance of sweet and tart, ideal for a steamy day. Cigar City Brewing, just off the Gulf of Mexico in Florida, grabbed their German-style gose, an ancient style of low alcohol beer brewed with salt, and gave it the Jimmy Buffett treatment by adding orange peel and lime essence to create a different take on the summer sipper.

To some generations, an Old Fashioned is a drink served over heaps of muddled fruit and topped with club soda. If you hail from Wisconsin, your Old Fashioned might contain Korbel brandy and Squirt soda (a peculiar but beloved regional variation). If you frequent modern cocktail bars, you’ve seen all manner of cheeky spins on the classic drink. And, if you visit Peaks & Pints, you’ll find the beer version in our cooler. Using a subtle Belgian yeast strain to create a malty, enticing base beer, this Great Divide Wood Werks offering reimagines a traditional Trappist-style dubbel. The beer is aged in grape brandy barrels for 10 months with orange peel and cherry puree for the beer version of an Old Fashioned.
