Hop Culture\u2019s 5 Best Beers in the Shop Right Now (February) If you want to drink like royalty, as we did this month, just hit the links below each pink to get these bad bois delivered right to your front door. <\/p>\n These boxes are perfect if you take a serious look at our Shop and have no idea where to start. But you do know that you love everything about hops. You love their smell; you love their taste; and you love that they just make you happy. <\/p>\n Last year, we dropped three new Mystery Style boxes in three varieties: Hazy, Pastry Stout, and Lager.<\/p>\n As we transition out of winter and into spring, we\u2019re moving away from our Untappd Mystery Box (Pastry Stout)<\/a> and into our Untappd Mystery Box (Hazy IPAs)<\/a> because we\u2019re seeing the sun poke through the snowy clouds; we\u2019re shedding our winter sweaters and disregarding that Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this year.<\/p>\n In our mystery hazy IA box, we have a wide, constantly rotating selection of hazies from top breweries across the country. Just select six or twelve cans, and we\u2019ll fill up a box with the very latest and greatest.<\/p>\n No muss, no fuss, just the good, hoppy stuff! <\/p>\n Buy the Box<\/a><\/p>\n Just Mortalis doing what they do best \u2014 ripping out hella crazy collabs that pack more fruit into the blender than a meathead making a protein smoothie after a four-hour-long workout. Speaking of, for Hydra Glizzy<\/a> Mortalis collabed with Costanza Sausage on this fruited smoothie sour. Weird? Well, different certainly. <\/p>\n But that shouldn\u2019t deter you. And here\u2019s why: <\/p>\n Pineapple And for the little twist\u2026.<\/p>\n Jalapeno.<\/p>\n All together, these ingredients form this \u201cmonster\u2019s many heads,\u201d according to Mortalis. \u201cNO Glizzies were harmed in the making of this beer.\u201d <\/p>\n Oh, and it doesn\u2019t actually contain any meat. <\/p>\n Buy the Box<\/a><\/p>\n An OG Aslin favorite, Master of Karate<\/a> hits your over the head with heavily dry-hopped Mosaic, Galaxy, and Amarillo. <\/p>\n Don\u2019t call us karate kids, we\u2019re full-on grown-up drinking adults. <\/p>\n As Aslin puts it, \u201cDrink this beer fresh or we may nunchuck your a$$. Can you hear that? Chuck Norris may sneak up on you!\u201d<\/p>\n Don\u2019t let Chuck Norris sneak up on you; drink this beer. <\/p>\n Buy the Box<\/a><\/p>\n Photography courtesy of Hop Culture<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Do you love beer that knows no bounds, that takes the wild outdoors and captures it like lightning in a bottle? Perhaps no brewery in the Pacific Northwest makes wild ales better than de Garde. <\/p>\n With every batch of spontaneous beer, this Oregon-based brewery seems to capture elegance, nature, and just that little je ne sais quoi<\/em> that\u2019s hard to put your finger on. <\/p>\n The highly 4-star rated The Kriek (Batch 10)<\/a> starts as a spontaneous wild ale with tart Montgomery & Morello Cherries, but ages for two years in oak barrels for a beer that\u2019s equally stunning and spine-tingling. <\/p>\n Expect big notes of cherry shortcake (we\u2019re pretty sure we just made up that dessert, but we think you get the gist), brown sugar, caramel, puckering lemon. <\/p>\n Buy the Box<\/a><\/p>\n Photography courtesy of Untappd<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Yes, this isn\u2019t technically a beer, but you need something fun to drink all these beers in, right? We just released this 8 Sips<\/a> game glass this month, and we\u2019re particularly proud of this one. <\/p>\n We are always looking for ways to gamify our adventures. We\u2019re thrilled to share our newest experiment\u20148 Sips!<\/p>\n 8 Sips is a straightforward drinking game, but the key is to execute every sip flawlessly. It\u2019s (quite literally) the name of the game!<\/p>\n You score by getting your beer to settle within the bottle cap graphics that have numbers, tallying your score as you progress. You get 8 sips and can earn up to 100 points per round.<\/p>\n But watch out! There are challenges ahead. Steer clear of any \u2018-5 points\u2019, \u2018lose a turn\u2019, or \u2018lose all your points\u2019 spaces.<\/p>\n Every 8 Sips 16-ounce Tall Boy can glass features three distinct levels and all the rules.<\/p>\n And there\u2019s no need for pen and paper. Keep track of points as you play at play.untappd.com Please drink responsibly.<\/p>\n
