May is a big month for beer releases, as craft breweries introduce summer seasonals and one-off brews to a public that’s growing increasingly thirsty as the temperature rises. Look for everything from chipotle beers to watermelon beers to hit the shelves this month. There’s even a wicked bourbon-barrel aged stout. Here are eight beers you can look forward to drinking this month.
1. Daughters of Poseidon
DC Brau and Baxter Brewing Co.
A collaboration Black IPA brewed with oysters. There’s actually two versions of this stout/IPA. The one distributed in Maine uses oysters from the Pemaquid Maine area. The version distributed in DC uses Rappahannock oysters from Virginia. Look for it in 16-ounce cans starting May 8.
2. Moonray
Terrapin Beer Company
Athens based Terrapin loves their Side Project beers. Moonray is the latest—a chocolate orange Weizenbock. Expect big malts and some banana. Look for it in 22 ounce bombers beginning this month.
3. Dragon’s Milk Reserve
New Holland Brewing
A twist on New Holland’s popular Dragon’s Milk, the Reserve is aged in bourbon barrels with toasted chilies. Look for it in 22-ounce bombers right now.
