Hey, Stout lovers! Today, we’re celebrating a few of the most sought after, decadent Stouts to ever grace the Tavour app. These are brews from a selection of our all-time favorite breweries — from the Pacific Northwest all the way to the coast of Florida — and each one boasts its own level of luxurious flavor. The brewers pack some with so many baking ingredients, they’d make Martha Stewart jealous; others spent years in top-shelf bourbon barrels. Without further ado, here are 10 of the most popular Stouts, according to Tavour members:

Buckle-up hopheads! We’re about to take a delectable trip down IPA memory-lane.Coming to us from some of our favorite brew joints around the country, each of these hop-loaded delicacies sport their own level of craft fame. Some grace the pages of Thrillist, Vine Pair, Food & Wine, or the Beer Travel Guide. Others sport out-of-this-world scores on BeerAdvocate, Untappd, and Tavour! So, we’re highlighting a few juice-soaked sippers that have filled Tavour members’ crates and rattled the craft-o-sphere in the best way possible. Here are 10 of the most popular IPAs to ever hit the Tavour app.

Every beer nerd knows there’s a shortlist of Stouts that you can’t pass up. They’re the holiest of grails in the craft beer kingdom — brews that are hard to come by and are among the highest-rated anywhere. The beer nerds that use Tavour have very discerning tastes, and they know immediately when one of these beers stares them in the face.

Whether they specialize in IPAs, Stouts, or a unique style all their own — a brewery’s anniversary beers are a great way to show off what they do best! Every anniversary a craft brewery celebrates is a win for the indie beer community, an excuse for a collective toast between brewers and fans, and a celebratory reminder for why craft drinkers love a particular brewery. To gain some insight into what makes an exceptional anniversary brew, we dissected six beers that truly highlight the signature skills of some of the most adored brewers featured on Tavour.

Many of us get a bit down when the weather gets cold, and sunny days are fewer. While you might be tempted to just hunker down and wait for spring like some kind of hibernating bear, you do have better options as a craft beer fan. Beyond the usual heavy-hitting Stouts and Winter Ales lining local store shelves this season, beer delivery provides an opportunity to step outside the box. Today’s craft beer movement brims with bright and tropical brews that’ll melt away winter fatigue! It’s time to crank up the heat and pop out a beach chair next to the beer fridge. Clever craft fans can create a vacation through their beer delivery by looking for sunny sippers like these:

Not that long ago, if someone offered you a pint of Stout, you could confidently finish the whole thing without fear of ending up all red-nosed and wobbly like some kind of tipsy Rudolph. These days, not so much. Craft breweries from coast to coast are cranking out brews with double digit ABVs across a whole host of styles, but Stouts in particular are boozier than ever before. To be honest, it’s pretty awesome. In fact, some of the most popular brews on Tavour have fallen into that crazy-high alcohol category. But sometimes, you just want to enjoy a few pints of rich, smooth, roasty Stout without getting blotto. A proper brew for those occasions can be tricky to track down, so here are 5 of our favorite sessionable Stouts that won’t leave you snoring on the couch.

IPAs are the most popular craft beer style today. However, tart and tangy brews are on the rise. Bart Watson, chief economist at the Brewers Association, says that “by volume and sales, sours are up 25% or more in each of the last two years.” Thanks to some of the most innovative craft brewers in the scene, there’s now a hybrid style bridging the gap between hoppy and puckering: the Sour IPA.

If you’re having a hard time finding every beer style you desire in your local shops, check out the treasure trove of options on our craft beer delivery app. The Brewers Association recognizes 89 beer styles, and there are plenty of new hybrids that haven’t earned their ‘official’ status yet. Many of these styles can be quite hard to track down, but here are 6 hard-to-find beer styles often featured on Tavour:

When IPAs first emerged in England in the 1820’s, they had a reputation for being a little stronger than the average beer. How things change! These days, breweries across the U.S. and the world are cranking up the booze to levels once considered absurd. Pick up a 6-pack of Imperial IPAs from your favorite craft crew, and you might only make it through a couple cans before deciding that 7pm is a totally reasonable bedtime. But, if you want some serious bang for your hoppy buck, you have to seek out the biggest, booziest hopbombs to stock your fridge! To get your started, here are 5 of our favorite high-octane IPAs that you should probably sip instead of chug.

According to the Brewers Association, the fundamental distinction of what makes a craft beer “craft” is: something made in small scales, by craft brewers, and “generally made with traditional ingredients like malted barley; interesting and sometimes non-traditional ingredients are often added for distinctiveness.” In some cases, those ingredients are really far from traditional. But, that’s what makes craft beer the beverage for everyone — brewers are constantly imagining new recipes that shift the borders on what were once rigid style guidelines. Suddenly, everything is not as it seems: the brew in your glass could be both a Sour and a Stout at once; or an IPA and a Lager; or even a Fruit Beer and a Cider! We LOVE this fact about craft beer. Which is why we want to tell you about five of our favorite brews on Tavour that blur the lines between styles.

Winter is the ideal time for curling up with a warming, chocolatey beverage, especially when it comes with a side of booze! A lot of Stouts naturally come with notes of chocolate and other dessert-like flavors thanks to copious amounts of toasty-sweet dark malts, though modern brewers are taking things even further with some seriously decadent pastry additions. Who needs a hot cocoa when you have a nice, rich Stout arriving in your craft beer delivery? Here are five very chocolatey beers to get cozy with during the cold weather. No burning-hot mug needed!

The first thing you need to know about these 5 delicious craft beers is: they’d be totally wasted on birds. These brews are infused with chili peppers, a flavor birds can’t taste! It’s true! Capsaicin (the stuff that makes it spicy) has no effect on them! And, that’s a real bummer for birds, because few flavors are as bold, as interesting, and as downright fun as the kick you get when you chomp on chilis. Some of the best craft beer makers in the country realized, years ago, that a little heat could make their beers more interesting — like a drizzle of hot sauce amping up a bowl of rice and beans. In recent years, brewers have dosed all kinds of different styles and beer flavors with a little bit of chili heat, and fans can’t get enough of that fiery booze! If you like to heat up your tastebuds, there’s a whole world of flaming-hot brews to explore. And, if you’re wondering where to start, these 5 Chili-infused Craft Beers are a great way to set off on your spicy adventure!

In craft beer, you’ll typically find fruit flavors in bright styles like Sour Ales and IPAs — but what’s out there for fruit lovers who want a taste of the Stout dark side? According to the Brewers Association Beer Style Guidelines, there are seven types of Stouts, and none of them include fruit by definition. That doesn’t mean breweries haven’t been making fruited Stouts; Bell’s Brewery created their Cherry Stout way back in 1988! Since then, a few breweries have made a fruited Stout here and there, but over the past two years, fruited Dark Beer is on the rise thanks to the Pastry Stout boom. If you like to dabble in the dark side of brews, here are 8 Deviously Delicious Fruited Stouts to help open your eyes to the chocolate fondue of craft beer:

The COVID-19 pandemic hit craft breweries hard all across the country, but they didn’t take it lying down. They came up with a myriad of new ways to keep slingin’ their brews to fans, and beer delivery was among the most popular. The concept itself isn’t particularly new — at Tavour, we’ve been doing beer delivery for years now. But, when quarantine regulations forced breweries to shutter their doors, delivery went from being a cool way to reach more fans to an absolute necessity.

Winter might not be the first season most people think of when they hear the term IPA. But, for hopheads, IPAs are a year ‘round indulgence. To a dedicated hop aficionado, an après ski at the bottom of the slopes is just as fitting of a place to sip a juicebomb as plopped on a cozy couch watching football. Fireside: grab an IPA. Hot tubbing: bring an IPA along for the soak. For fans of the style, there are more reasons to drink an IPA in the winter than hot cocoa. Winter-ready IPAs can be elusive, so to make your hunt easier, here are 7 Hoppy Winter Seasonals you can have sent straight to your door via Tavour’s independent craft beer delivery app:

In the past year alone, we’ve featured over 300 different Stouts on Tavour. Some were decadent, dessert-like treats, while others shined with silky complexity from aging in Bourbon barrels.

“Golden Stout” sounds like something that can’t possibly exist. But, just because something sounds impossible doesn’t mean it can’t be done. Golden Stouts are very real! You might even be able to snag one in your next beer delivery. But, what the heck are they? To find out, we’ll take a look at a few of our favorite beers in the style to see if we can get this Stout debate sorted out.

A few years ago when the craft beer boom hit, thousands of breweries opened, bringing the total in the U.S. to 8,275 in 2019.* With so many innovations and trends transforming the scene, the competition is fierce. The breweries with the highest demand from beer geeks change frequently. However, even with all of this diversification, a few top breweries remain at the top of the food chain as some of the most acclaimed over the long haul. Here are 5 top breweries still leading craft beer a decade after opening:

When a head-bangin’ rock band collaborates with a hop-slingin’ craft brewery to make an IPA, two worlds converge. Rock stars are often huge beer geeks, and brewers leap at the chance to get their favorite bands involved in the beer-making process. Plus, fans go nuts at the chance to taste a beer made with ingredients chosen by their favorite musicians. Whether it’s a hazy New England IPA, or a crisp West Coast IPA, brewery-band collabs offer fans of both realms something unique. An opportunity to engage and interact with their idols in totally new (and deliciously hoppy) ways! There’s nothing quite like putting on your favorite band’s album and cracking into an IPA they helped make. Here are Five Fan-Favorite IPA Collaborations that prove it.

Much to the delight of dessert beer geeks, craft brewers have bombarded their lineup of Stouts, IPAs, and Sour Ales with every marshmallow concoction imaginable. It wasn’t long ago that marshmallows in beer were not a thing. The first style to embrace the ooey-gooey adjunct was the Stout, and the first one ever seen at Tavour was High Water Brewing’s Campfire Stout — released in 2012! Here’s a little tidbit about that lip-smacking brew, and seven more that helped awaken a marshmallow renaissance:

Back in early 2000s, during the height of the bitter beer craze, a typical IPA slammed into the tastebuds with all the subtlety of semi-truck full of hops. People called these beers ‘palate wreckers,’ and they meant it as a compliment. But hey, it was a weird time. People across the country walked around with frosted tip hairstyles like members of a boy band. And high definition TV was just beginning to show us how big celebrity’s pores actually are. Thankfully, Hollywood makeup artists have adapted to high def, and tastebud terrorizing hop bombs are almost as rare as bleached hair.

We absolutely love lush, New England-style Hazy IPAs, and it’s great that there are so many to choose from. But there are many other IPAs on the hop spectrum that don’t go anywhere near “New England style” or “Hazy” territory. For those looking to mix things up and explore all the tasty corners of the India Pale Ale, here are 9 beers representing other IPA styles that make our mouths water:

Coffee is delicious, but Coffee Stouts are even better. That’s an objective truth. For one thing, coffee doesn’t come with booze. That alone is enough to declare Coffee Stout the winner, by miles! But, it doesn’t end there! To get a delicious coffee drink, you’ll have to go down to the local cafe. Coffee Stout, on the other hand, doesn’t even require you to leave your couch, thanks to online retailers like Tavour who will bring it straight to your door!

Summer 2020 has flown on by, and so have a myriad of warm-weather brews. As breweries gear up for fall and the more snuggly sippers that come with it, Tavour takes a look back on the thirst-quenching types of beer that dominated the past few months:

We crunched the data for the highest member-rated brews to determine 2020’s most popular beers on Tavour! Here are the Top Ten.

We’re halfway through August and pumpkin spice drinks are already popping up. But this year, it’s not Starbucks or other coffee shops who are early. Craft breweries are taking everyone’s favorite fall flavors and weaving them into delightful seasonal beers! 

If you thought drinking beer was awesome, wait until you taste some of the delicious foods you can make with it! Below is a recipe for beer bread that calls for beer in place of yeast! And, bread’s even better when paired with flavorful sides and entrees. So, we’ll walk you through additional recipes for beer cheese dip, beer chili, and beer can chicken that will complement your beer bread, too.

Not that long ago, 7% ABV was considered a seriously high beer alcohol content. How things have changed! These days, craft breweries overflow with double-digit ABV brews! Some of them are incredible, others are just really boozy. But, all of them are guaranteed to make your belly warmer and your smile broader. Here are seven of our absolute favorites.

Glamping, Grovestand, Double Orange StarFish. These aren’t just highlights from your summer road trip. They’re also the names of craft beers that fans in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) wait in lines for upwards of four hours to snag! Locals will tell you that, before Aslin opened their first brewery 5 years ago, if you didn’t live in Herndon, VA, there was no reason to go there. Aslin gave beer geeks a reason. And, now that Aslin is working with online retailer Tavour, brew-enthusiasts around the country will soon taste the fermented fruits of Aslin's labor.

Fair Isle Brewing — the first dedicated Wild Ale brewery in Seattle — opened their doors at the end of January, and on March 15th, Covid-19 closed them again. That’s a setback that would spell the end for many small businesses, but for Fair Isle founders Geoffery Barker and Andrew Pogue, it just meant they had to get creative!

Travel back in time a couple decades, and you’d likely find your parents sipping the same beer every time they had a drink. Until the recent craft boom, beer fans were very brand loyal. Now, we’re in an age of brewing creativity — it’s common for beer aficionados to pick out a new brew every time they shop. Finding new summer beers this year has been a lot more difficult thanks to COVID-19. Data shows, due to social-distancing restrictions, breweries are registering nearly 50% less new beers in 2020 than last year. In a nutshell, this means fewer beer options, and many breweries are sticking to tried-and-true flagships and old favorites. Adaptation has been the key for breweries to stay afloat during the pandemic — and those that are prospering noticed the ways people shop for beer has changed, so they quickly moved with the times. App-based craft beer delivery sites like Tavour have helped keep breweries’ doors open and allowed them to continue to churn out a variety of new beers. So, even though it might feel like we’re in a serious new summer-beer drought, there's a wide selection of new summer-beer releases coming to Tavour. Here are a few to look forward to!

The German Sour Ale known as the Gose is one of the most mispronounced beer styles. It’s also one of the brightest styles in craft. Breweries traditionally make Goses with wheat, barley, coriander, and salt. They top-ferment them using ale yeast as well as lactobacillus for souring.

The Milkshake IPA combines two of humanity’s finest achievements — milkshakes and beer! And while the style is new, it’s based on a decades-old dream. Just check out this quote from 1945: “If a man ordered a beer milkshake, he thought, he’d better do it in a town where he wasn’t known. But then, a man with a beard, ordering a beer milkshake in a town where he wasn’t known — they might call the police.”That’s from Cannery Row by John Steinbeck, and is perhaps the first-ever reference to a beer milkshake. Fortunately, things have changed since the 40’s — beards are no longer considered a sign of moral decay, and breweries all over the country are making beer milkshakes in the form of Milkshake IPAs!What exactly is a Milkshake IPA?

Tavour always had a clear mission: support independent craft breweries and build a community of like-minded beer lovers. And we’ve never wavered from that.Now, in this unpredictable and difficult time, that mission is more important than ever. That’s why, starting March 20, 2020 we are releasing a new box on the Tavour app each week to showcase just a few of the talented breweries we work with. The goal? To stand together and support these indie businesses in a time of crises, when even tomorrow is unknown. And with each curated selection, we can all come together while enjoying a lineup from some of our favorite breweries across the country.

Berliner Weisse is back in a big way! It seems like every brewery on the block is cranking out some version of this refreshingly tart brew. Pretty wild for a beer style that almost died out over a century ago! Berliner Weisse first appeared in Northern Germany, way back in the 1600s. By the late 1800s, folks all over Berlin couldn’t get enough, and more than 70 breweries produced a version. But just 100 years later, Pilsners and Lagers reigned supreme, and only two breweries in the city continued to make Berliner Weisse. Luckily, a new wave of American craft breweries swooped in to save the day! Now the style is common in craft beer bars and bottleshops across the U.S. With so many to choose from, it can be hard to know where to begin. So, here are 10 can’t-lose Berliner Weisse beers to keep you refreshed this summer!

If you really want to know how good a brewery is, you HAVE to try their Pilsner. With no adjuncts to hide behind and less hop character than many other styles on the market, this simple, clean beer can reveal any faults or mistakes made along the way. And sure, you probably have a few macro Pils stuffed into your fridge, but those chilly blue mountains and self-proclaimed “King” ain’t got nothin’ on these 10 craft Pilsners.

Have a favorite after-dinner treat? There’s a good chance its sweet flavors also come in craft beer form! Here are 10 Pastry Stouts to satisfy every type of dessert craving

A step-by-step Barleywine tasting flight to help you distinguish between styles.

Walk into any beer bar or taproom in the country and you’ll likely see a dozen IPAs on draft. But what exactly is an India Pale Ale? And what’s the difference between a New England Style IPA, a West Coast IPA, and all the other versions? Well, grab your favorite brewski and get ready for a crash course in all things hops!

You might think you know everything about Hazy IPAs — where they come from, what they taste like, and even the biggest names in the haze game. Well, we bet you haven’t heard of these rising stars! They’re all small-batch — and their beers rarely leave their home states. Getting a taste is next to impossible! But, each of the following 10 breweries is making big waves on the Hazy IPA scene. So, buckle up and get ready to discover your new favorite!

Plenty of breweries make an occasional Sour Ale, but the country’s best tart brews usually come from Sour Ale specialists — breweries that live and breathe mixed fermentation and oak aging!
