Budweiser dropped limited-edition Big Boi Tall Boy 25 oz. cans, in collaboration with rap legend and Atlanta’s own Big Boi. The new cans feature an image of the rapper, in true Big Boi fashion – repping an ATL cap and a fur coat, along with additional Easter eggs for hip-hop fans throughout.  The Budweiser Big Boi Tall Boys are available today exclusively in Georgia, while supplies last.

On the collaboration Big Boi said, “Wherever my career has led me since I started out almost 25 years ago, I’ve always stayed true to Atlanta and proudly repped the city each step of the way. Budweiser and I are bringing the Budweiser Big Boi Tall Boys here to thank the city and the fans who have supported me since the beginning.”

Guinness proudly announced the release of a new beer to join the Guinness family – Guinness Over The Moon Milk Stout – from the Open Gate Brewery in Baltimore, MD.

The beer is a full-bodied stout that has a creamy mouthfeel, full of flavor with hints of roasted malt, milk chocolate and rich coffee. At an ABV of 5.3%, this beer harvests bold notes of roasted barley and hops, adding a warming bitterness that is offset with the cream-like sweetness from the milk sugars of the lactose used in brewing. Its roasted barley character pairs nicely with most grilled or roasted meats, while its subtle sweetness and notes of chocolate and coffee blend nicely with a wide range of desserts like pecan pie, chocolate chip cookies or even s’mores.

Guinness Over The Moon Milk Stout can be found on shelves now in select areas including the Baltimore, Boston, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia metro areas (as well as in the brewery’s taproom) as a permanent addition to the Guinness family. Beginning in November, the stout will also be available nationally for a limited time. The beer will be sold in six packs of 12oz cans for a suggested price of $10.99.

Budweiser and Jim Beam Bourbon unveiled Budweiser Reserve Black Lager – a limited-supply brew with an ABV of 7.1 percent (the highest ABV in Budweiser’s portfolio). This specialty beer marks the second collaboration between Budweiser and Jim Beam, joining Budweiser Reserve Copper Lager, which is back by popular demand.

Budweiser Reserve Black Lager boasts a dark auburn color, an oaky aroma with coffee and chocolate notes, a toasted malt taste, and a deliciously smooth finish. Black Lager is aged on six-year Jim Beam bourbon barrel staves for a bolder taste that’s perfect for the holiday season and is available beginning in October. It will also be available in a premium 22 oz. bomber bottle gift box.
