Ridiculously patriotic American beers to drink for the 4th of July

American beers

Break out the American beers; it’s time to celebrate the 4th of July! While there are a myriad of amazing American beers on the market, only a few stand above the fray to honor this most patriotic drinking holiday.

For some it’s all about the name and label. Others are made by or in support of veterans. It’s red, white, and blue beer parade, with a slight detour for a little blood orange… the blood of our enemies, obviously.

Sam ’76 – Samuel Adams Beer

The lager/ale hybrid is exactly the melting pot that America loves to be. Plus it’s named for our birthday.
