One of the best tasting non-alcoholic beers in the nation is about to come in a variety pack. Sierra Nevada will drop the bundle in December, set to include favorites like Trail Pass IPA and Trail Pass Golden along with two brand new releases.

The bundle will see the debut of Trail Pass Brewveza, a NA blonde ale inspired by Mexican lagers, and a Trail Pass Hazy IPA, featuring juicy flavors and plenty of citrus. You can get your hands on these cans from coast to coast starting next month. The 12-pack includes three each of all four beers. Additionally, the new hazy IPA will be sold on its own in six-packs.

All of the Trail Pass beers are made with a maltase negative yeast strain. The approach requires a bit more heavy-lifting from a brewing standpoint but the results are clearly worth the extra effort. The line features some of the best-tasting NA beers on the market.

Bud Light’s no longer the most popular beer on draft

There's a new macro beer leader

Beer

After a long run, Bud Light is no longer king. The best-selling draft beer in America is now Michelob. It's a humbling stretch for the mega beer, which first lost out to Modelo Especial last summer as the best-selling overall beer in the land.

There's no one reason for the change but experts have been pointing to both failed as campaigns by Bud Light as well as a move by consumers towards healthier, lower calorie beers. The newest info comes from Draftline Technologies, which looks at what's being poured in bars around the nation, among other things.

Ferment Brewing Company and Oregon Wildlife Foundation offer collab beer

An ale for frog safety

Ferment Red Legged Ale.

One of our favorite west coast breweries has teamed up with a local critter advocacy group in the name of our amphibian friends. Ferment Brewing has dropped the Red Legged Ale in partnership with the Oregon Wildlife Foundation (OWF), working together to support red-legged frogs of the Pacific Northwest.

Every year around this time, red-legged frogs move from Forest Park in Portland to wetlands closer to the Columbia River Gorge to lay eggs. It's a dangerous journey these days, given all the highways and roads in the area that have paved over their ancient migration route. The solution? Not just a delicious beer that helps support the cause, but a push for a protected route for the amphibians as well.
