together because the Ultimate Sum- mer Craft Cooler project forces us to think back on all the festivals, events, and places we’ve been to this sum- mer, including the event pop-ups and taprooms we visited, plus the random cans open opened with col- leagues, friends, and family all sum- mer for this year’s Chilly Moose Ulti- mate Summer Craft Cooler list. Luckily, we keep good notes through- out the summer, because of expense accounts, or this would have been a mental exercise of potentially un- wieldy proportions. And yet, we find the craft traditional beers, radlers, sours, ready-to-drinks, and ciders that make this list are often the ones we don’t need to remember, or rath- er, we never forget—we remember
As a reader, you know that we have featured many craft breweries and distilleries over the years.

Cerveza | Mexican-style Lager | 4.25% alc/vol Hawk Tail Brewery | Rimbey, AB, Canada
Hawk Tail Brewery’s Cer- veza Craft Beer is a Mex- ican-style lager that's incredibly light and re- freshingly simple. Brewed with flaked corn and bar - ley, it boasts a clean, crisp taste with hints of toasted marshmallow and citrus, reminiscent of grapefruit.
