It's August here in NJ and that is not exactly après ski season. In fact, it is far from it, characteristically resulting in some sultry weather courtesy of a random heat weave that is bound to hit the area. On days like that, there is no better way to cool down than with an ice cold beer. That frosty beverage can really hit the spot when the mercury starts to climb. However, this summer, Sam Adams is coming up with new and creative ways to quench your thirst during the dog days of summer by mixing their beers into drinks that they like to call "ale-tails."
Sam Adams began brewing their Rebel IPA series back in 2014 and the ale-tails feature the newest addition to this family of beers, Rebel Juiced IPA. Hoppy with a twist of mango and citrus flavors, this IPA can easily stand alone on a hot day but works really well when mixed into cocktails like the ones below.
