Recent favorites

Allaghash White

4.1/5 · Bright straw body with soft citrus and coriander, crisp grain sweetness, and a clean, short finish. Pairing: Best for a light fish curry, shellfish, or warm spring weather patio time.

Berwick Lager

3.9/5 · Dry, easy-to-drink lager profile with crisp grain and a restrained floral nose; best when fresh. Pairing: Works nicely with smoked poultry and salty snacks.

Asahi

3.8/5 · Neutral and highly refreshingly clean, with a neutral bitterness and easy carbonation profile. Pairing: Pairs well with spicy takeout, sushi, or a casual game-night crowd.

Stella Artois

3.6/5 · Soft bready notes and gentle hop snap; low-friction on the tongue with a short-lived bitterness. Pairing: Good for long dinners, seafood entrées, or serving with friends as a baseline pour.

Lagunitas

4.3/5 · Pungent citrus hop lift with a firm bitterness and a touch of caramel grain balance. Pairing: Best as a starter pour with burgers, chili, and heavier late-night fare.
