It’s kinda feeling springtimey, which is always a weird time for beer. Everyone’s gearing up for summer and getting rid of their winter beers so things feel a little all over the place right now. As such, Premium Subscribers scanning this week’s email will see:

A NA IPA
Two seasonal styles for way out in the future
A potential revival of a truly classic beer brand
…and the two new labels below, for a dry lager and a double IPA. Things are really kinda just bouncing around right now. Want to see everything this and all our past label emails have to offer? Great! Just gotta become a Premium subscriber here, for just about $1 per week:
