Do you love America? Then hopefully you'll be celebrating her birthday at a backyard barbecue or near some tranquil body of water, be it ocean or blow-up toddler pool. (Unless you live on the east coast, in which case the weather might force you to celebrate indoors. No matter. The founding fathers were pretty intrepid, too.) Wherever you're honoring Independence Day, raise a glass with one of these five patriotic brews.
Left Hand Homefront IPA This American IPA is aged on wood from Louisville Slugger bats AND raises funds for military families and wounded soldiers.
Peekskill Hop Common Hop Common is a California common beer (AKA Steam beer), which is the only purely American style of beer invented in this country.
Anchor Liberty Anchor’s Liberty Ale was first brewed in 1975 to celebrate the bicentennial of Paul Revere’s historic ride and is considered one of the founding fathers of craft beer.
21st Amendment Brew Free! or Die This assertive IPA is brewed with four different types of hops but more importantly, the can features Abraham Lincoln.
Yuengling Lager It's the oldest American-owned brewery. Basically, it's your favorite craft beer's grandfather.
Cheers, America!
