Legends don't happen by chance. They come from a series of moments, leading to one that's remembered forever. For the legend of Dragon's Milk, we embraced the mystery of bourbon barrels. Then, we designed beers around the character and spirit they'd impart.

Dragon's Milk Bourbon Barrel-Aged Stout: Our signature stout carries on that tradition today. Roasted malt delivers notes of coffee and chocolate, married with sweet undertones of vanilla and oak from a three-month stay in bourbon barrels, to create a truly legendary blend of flavor. 11% ALC/VOL.

Dragon's Milk Crimson Keep Bourbon Barrel-Aged Red Ale: Heavily fortified, the keep is the last bastion standing between a brave knight and heroic victory. Unless, of course, they have a dragon… Crimson Keep is aged in bourbon barrels for one month deep within the Dragon's Milk Cellar. The deep red color is evidence of being battle tested. A smooth, malt-forward flavor profile is highlighted by notes of toffee, stone fruits, and oak that lead to a pleasantly dry finish. 11% ALC/VOL.

Dragon's Milk Tales of Gold Bourbon Barrel-Aged Golden Ale: guarded by a dragon have fanned the flames of adventure throughout history. Only the bravest and boldest would seek these riches, for they knew the reward would merit their risk. Our brewers have heard these Tales of Gold and have sought to bring forth a bounty of flavor once trapped inside the walls of the Dragon's Milk Cellar. This golden-hued ale is busting with notes of caramel, honey, and oak from a one-month stay in bourbon barrels. A light touch of sweetness is imparted through the addition of milk sugar, rounding out a truly legendary experience. 11% ALC/VOL.

Dragon's Milk Barrel Fermented Emerald IPA: Forged in the fires of resilience and tempered by brewing mastery, this potent brew marks the first IPA to join the Dragon's Milk lineage. Dry-hopped with the rare and mystical Lotus hop, Emerald IPA casts a spell of creamy vanilla and bright citrus. Its flavor tempered by the ancient touch of oak barrel fermentation. This mighty brew does not whisper, it roars. 11% ACL/VOL.

Badge Criteria: Check in any one (1) Dragon's Milk beer (Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout, Tales of Gold, Crimson Keep or Emerald IPA) between 7/10/25 and 8/10/25 to unleash the Dragon!

When Lager Meets Imagination: What happens when Czech brewing mastery meets Swedish creativity? The answer is Triple Saaz — a bold new lager born from a one-of-a-kind collaboration between Budějovický Budvar and Omnipollo.
A fresh, new take on what lager can be. A Czech-style lager from the new generation.

Brewing Two Worlds Together The collaboration began with a simple message between brewers from two seemingly different beer cultures. On one side: Budvar, with over a century of experience crafting iconic Czech lagers. On the other: Omnipollo, Stockholm's fearless experimenters known for turning brewing into an art form.
That message turned into a meeting, the meeting into a plan — and the plan into a new kind of lager.

What Makes Triple Saaz Different?

• Three Saaz hop varieties: Adding layers of spice, floral complexity, and herbal punch
• Swedish malt: Adds depth and richness to the malt base
• Budvar's legendary yeast: Cold-fermented for weeks to bring it all together in a crisp, clean finish
• 5.1% ABV: Perfectly drinkable, infinitely memorable

This is Czech lager reimagined — rooted in heritage, elevated by creativity.
To make things even more interesting, the beer was brewed in Omnipollo's Church — a former house of worship turned into a brewing sanctuary in central Stockholm. It's the perfect setting for a collaboration that honors tradition while breaking new ground. The label reflects this spirit too — holographic, glitched, and filled with subtle references to space and transformation.

Where to Find It? Triple Saaz is available now at Systembolaget in Sweden and in select markets internationally. Keep an eye on Budvar and Omnipollo's social channels for global drops and tasting events.

Badge Criteria: Check-in one (1) Omnipollo × Budvar – Triple Saaz Czech Style Lager between July 7, 2025 and July 20, 2025.

Left Hand Brewing's Meyer Lemon Drop Shandy is a radiant escape in every sip—an easy-drinking brew that delivers sunshine straight to your glass. Bursting with the bright, citrusy zest of tangy Meyer lemon, this shandy strikes the perfect balance between refreshing tartness, subtle sweetness, and gentle floral notes that add an unexpected layer of elegance.

Unlike traditional lemons, Meyer lemons are naturally sweeter and more aromatic, giving this shandy a vibrant citrus flavor. The lemony zing hits upfront, awakening your palate with a lively pop, followed by a soft wave of sweetness that mellows into a delicate, almost botanical finish. It's the kind of beer that feels tailor-made for warm afternoons, outdoor hangs, or anytime you need a little liquid sunshine in your life.

Each sip is like watching the clouds part—bright, cheerful, and instantly uplifting. The light body and crisp carbonation make it incredibly drinkable, while the flavor profile is bold enough to keep things interesting. It's beer-meets-citrus-cocktail in the most refreshing way. Whether you're lounging on a patio, grilling with friends, or simply chasing the golden hour, Meyer Lemon Drop Shandy brings the summer vibes with every pour. It's bold enough to perk up the gloomiest day and refreshing enough to keep you coming back for another round.

So go ahead—embrace the brightness, taste the zest, and let your taste buds bask in the glow of something truly sunny. Just be warned: it's so bright, they might need sunglasses.

Badge Criteria: Check-in one (1) Meyer Lemon Drop Shandy from Left Hand Brewing between May 1, 2025 and July 31, 2025.

A beer with protein. Those are four words we never thought we'd write, but that's the simple idea behind Beer With Benefits IPA, a new collab between TV host, influencer, and entrepreneur Jay-Jay Boske and XXL Nutrition Founder René van der Zel.

At thirty-nine, Boske, a former Dutch international rugby player, says he had drank plenty of beer over his lifetime. 

"But I also went eleven months without drinking, and I actually liked that lifestyle," he shares, noting he had one problem. "There weren't many NA beers that I could drink all night." 

The serial entrepreneur, who admits he loves building brands and can never really sit still, set out to change that. And not only to make a non-alcoholic beer that tasted great but also one that had actual benefits for the body. 

Packed with 5g of protein along with Vitamins B12, C, and D3 in each can, Beer With Benefits isn't just a new collab; it's an entirely new way to drink beer. 

TRY THE BEER HERE!*
