March’s box leans toward lighter, easy-drinking beers, something we’ve been seeing more of lately as breweries experiment with sessionable and lower-ABV styles. Bright IPAs, crisp lagers, session hazies, and low-carb beers. There are also a few interesting turns in the mix. 8 Wired’s Kölsch is a style we rarely include, mostly because not many breweries are brewing it, but when done well it’s a beautiful lesson in subtlety. Garage Project takes things in a more playful direction with Ramen Lager, and Sunshine brings some tropical brightness with a passionfruit and guava Catharina Sour, a Brazilian-inspired style that has been gaining fans around the world.
