This beer tastes like s'mores
Time to start up a campfire with this new beer

Happy Friday!
One of today's photos might be the most delicious beer we've ever profiled. I almost went out and bought the ingredients. Sadly, my apartment doesn't allow campfires. Probably for the best...
Today we've got some new events, including a sausage party (no, not the movie) and sadly another brewery closure.
Enjoy!

FEATURED NEW BEER RELEASES
S'more Stout
This one will have you ready to go camping. Camp Beer Co released a new s'more-tackular stout. Sweet chocolate, vanilla beans and roasted malt that reminds you of graham crackers, all that's needed is a campfire.
And let's be honest, that is an incredibly delicious-looking photo.
Available: On tap and in growler fills at the brewery.

Sour Wild Cherries
Summer won't end and this beer is proof. Strange Fellows has released Kriek Sour Wild Ale. Kriek is a Belgian Beer made with cherries! In this case, it's Okanagan Balaton cherries. It also gets more mellow as it ages, and be sure to drink at cellar temperature.
ADDITIONAL BEER RELEASES
Driftwood has a new Dry Irish Sour on Nitro with a velvety smooth mouthfeel.
Dageraad released Grouch, a new pale ale with a subtle fruit dimension.
Longwood Brewery's new Haskap and Blueberry Pie Sour will have you craving more sour beer.
Studio has a new classic West Coast IPA called Floodlight, arriving this Friday.
Container has not one, not two, but four new beer releases. Duo a Belgian Dubbel, Dark Arts a Belgian Qudrupel, Tapestry a Belgian Tripel and Fever Dream a Belgian IPA. Sensing a trend?
