Celebrate with an Independent Craft Beer This 4th of July
You’ve Got the Backyard and We’ve Got the Brew
Cheers to Independence
America indisputably leads the world when it comes to independent beer production. And here at AVBC, one part American can-do attitude and one part ‘if it tastes good, brew it’ philosophy has led us to experiment with fruit, techniques, and flavors that create a spectrum of beers to rival any fireworks display. This Independence Day, raise a glass, bottle, or can and celebrate with an independent craft beer that is sure to elicit oohs and aahs from everyone at your gathering. With so many great beer options to choose from, we’re serving up the ultimate beer-playlist to pair with your July 4th backyard BBQ (or anything else, really). Cheers!
That’s Music to My Beers
Unless you’re planning to put the National Anthem on repeat, a solid playlist will set the tone for your Fourth of July party. Just as you’d compile the perfect tunes to fit the mood and audience, go ahead and stock up that beer cooler accordingly. From the classic tunes to the freshest brews, we’ll help you shuffle through the best beers to pair with your 4th of July celebration vibes.
Certified Gold
If you’re looking for the perfect 4th of July beer to satisfy the widest audience, it’s hard to argue with Boonville Gold. A refreshing golden ale that’s light and dry, its low ABV and trim hop flavor are light, pleasing, and make for a truly exceptional session beer that’s as easy as Sunday morning.
Independent and Revolutionary
It’s no secret that AVBC led the charge when it comes to the fruited kettle—sours that seem everywhere these days—a charge that, at the time, was revolutionary and non-conformist in all the best ways. Fun, refreshing, unique and a little funky, our seasonal goses are ideal session beer for the outdoor party. If you’ve got a crowd that’s looking for something outside the box but still easy drinking, our slightly tart and fruit-infused goses are sure to be a conversation starter.
Since no summer is complete without watermelon, crack open a Briney Melon Gose and it will leave you guests wondering what magical vine you harvested these cans from. This is one of the best things to happen to summer since sunlight.
Don’t call it a cherry bomb, but our Cherry Gose is ready to explode with the juice of Montmorency sour cherries from Michigan.
If you need something to fit your red, white and blue theme, our Framboise Rose Gose is an ideal choice. With a light ruby hue, subtle raspberry fruit and floral notes, it is tangy, juicy and refreshing.
Lastly, for a sophisticated take on a summer classic we brew up the Blood Orange Gose with sea salt and a pinch of coriander. It’s sure to please both the casual beer drinker and the connoisseur.
A Truly Refined American Pale Ale
It’s hard to find a sound that’s more universally appreciated and distinctly American than classic rock, and that’s why it’s the perfect analog for our Poleeko Pale Ale. An exceptionally flavorful and well-balanced beer with a bright, citrus hop profile and mild malt flavors, Poleeko has aromas of pink grapefruit and lemon zest that compliments its brisk, balanced finish. It’s a flavor that transcends time and trend.
Improvisation at it Finest
Pleasingly tart and refreshing, our Tropical Hazy Sour is an American riff on the traditional German kettle sours. Tropical flavors of guava and passion fruit are reminiscent of a vacation to Hawaii and the hazy appearance hints at a more aromatic beer that’s well-balanced. Each sip will leave you wondering what note comes next.
Amber Waves of Grain
A hall-of-fame BBQ party beer that’s universally appealing, easy to enjoy, and widely available, our Boont Amber Ale checks all the boxes. Balance is what makes our Boont Amber Ale so unique: rich, crystal malts give this beer a deep copper hue and contribute a slight caramel sweetness while the herbal, spicy bitterness from carefully selected whole-cone hops impart a crisp, clean finish. This beer has been on our playlist since 1987 for a very good reason—it is a timeless classic.
