BREWSWAG - CRAFT BEER GEAR THAT DOESN'T SUCK
Sun’s out. Grill’s hot. You’re half-sweating, half-vibing — and there’s only one beer that fits the mood: Early Bird by Southern Tier. This Blackberry Lemonade Ale is summer in a can — juicy, tart, and low-key crushable at 4.5% ABV. If you’ve ever wanted your lemonade stand to grow up, get fun, and ferment itself… this is it.
Style: Blackberry Lemonade Ale
ABV: 4.5%
IBU: 30
Hops: Willamette, Centennial
Malts: 2-Row Pale, Toasted Wheat, Oats
Flavor Additions: Natural blackberry + lemonade flavoring
This beer’s got serious summer vibes. It pours a hazy golden-orange with a soft white head and an aroma that basically says, “You’re not going back to work today.” Here’s what to expect:
Big lemonade energy up front — tart, bright, refreshing
A swirl of blackberry sweetness that finishes smooth
Light malt base and subtle hops to keep things balanced
No sticky syrup vibes — it’s sweet, but not obnoxious
Reviewers say it drinks like a classier, less artificial porch-pounder. Think lemonade stand meets beer garden.
Food: Grilled burgers, poolside nachos, or your aunt’s questionable potato salad
Activities: Floating in the lake, dodging lawn darts, or arguing about who’s the grill master
Glassware: A pint, a red Solo cup, or straight from the can — we don’t judge
