Full Sail Brewing’s Cool Like That Cold IPA – Beer of the Day

September 22, 2025 by Dustin Scoggins

Full Sail Brewing Releases Cool Like That Cold IPA

Full Sail Brewing’s Cold IPA, aptly named Cool Like That, captures the essence of a Pacific Northwest summer in every crisp sip. Brewed in the wind-swept town of Hood River, Oregon, this seasonal gem from the Strong Current IPA Series blends the clean, lager-like fermentation of a classic cold brew with the bold, hop-forward punch of an IPA. At 7% ABV and 47 IBUs, it’s deceptively sessionable—light and ultra-bright from a Pilsner malt base that lets the stars of the show shine: massive dry-hop additions of Mosaic and Eclipse hops bursting with tropical mango, juicy clementine, ripe stone fruit, and a whisper of coconut. Whether you’re cracking open a 16-oz can after a day on the Columbia River or pairing it with grilled seafood, this Cold IPA delivers refreshment without the haze, making it a go-to for hop lovers seeking something chill yet intensely flavorful.

What sets Full Sail’s Cold IPA apart in the crowded craft beer scene is its nod to innovation rooted in tradition. Since 1987, Full Sail has been a pioneer in sustainable brewing, drawing pure Mt. Hood spring water to craft beers that have snagged over 300 awards, including Beverage World’s Craft Brewer of the Year. Cool Like That embodies that legacy as a hybrid style—fermented cold for clarity and drinkability, then loaded with vibrant hops for that IPA edge—perfect for late-afternoon adventures or backyard hangs. Available seasonally in 4-packs or on draft through September, it’s a limited-run reminder that great beer, like the Gorge’s fleeting bluebird days, is best savored fresh. Grab one, raise a toast to the outdoors, and let the tropical vibes transport you straight to the bluff overlooking the mighty Columbia.

About Full Sail Brewing Company
Founded in 1987 in the heart of Hood River, Oregon, Full Sail Brewing Company emerged as a trailblazer in the craft beer movement, transforming a derelict Diamond Fruit cannery into a vibrant brewery with a vision for independence and quality. Originally known as Hood River Brewing Company, it became the first commercially successful craft brewery to bottle beer for retail sale in the Pacific Northwest, producing just 287 barrels in its inaugural year amid the rise of windsurfing culture in the region. Led by founders including Irene Firmat and later Brewmaster Jamie Emmerson, the company achieved early acclaim when its Amber Ale secured a gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival in 1989. As an employee-owned enterprise committed to sustainability—through practices like local sourcing, water treatment, and community support—Full Sail has maintained its pioneering spirit, balancing innovation with environmental responsibility for nearly four decades.

Full Sail Brewing boasts a diverse and award-winning portfolio of beers that reflect its Pacific Northwest roots and dedication to craftsmanship. Flagship offerings include the Session Premium Lager, a smooth 5.1% ABV American-style lager with a crisp finish, and the classic Amber Ale, a balanced 6% ABV brew with malty notes that has become a perennial favorite. The lineup expands to hop-centric IPAs such as Hop Pursuit, Slipknot, and Bridge to Nowhere Hazy IPA, alongside seasonal specialties like Wassail, a robust 7.2% ABV winter ale, and Wreck the Halls, a hoppy holiday brew. Innovative releases, including Blood Orange Wheat Ale and pub exclusives like Accidental Art IPA and Heather Canyon Kölsch, showcase the brewery’s experimentation with flavors, all crafted using local hops, barley, and Mount Hood spring water to deliver fresh, high-quality experiences for beer

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Genesee Brewery recently announced that it has invented a new season, a New Yorker’s perfect season, sum-all. Sum-all is the season between August and October where New Yorkers beg for sweater weather while savoring the last days of summer. And in true Genesee fashion, brewery officials announced the first official sum-all beer: Genesee Black Cherry Vanilla Kellerbier! Black Cherry Vanilla Kellerbier will be available later this week in 12-packs of 12-ounce cans and on draft at select locations.

It’s Officially Sum-all Starting August 1

Genesee is leaning into its tradition of releasing seasonal beers before you can even flip your calendar by crafting the new, official sum-all season.

“Sum-all is all about celebrating the best of both seasons and embracing the juxtaposition this time of year offers. Fall beer in August? Makes sense to Genesee! Flannel swim trunks? You got it. Maple hot dogs? Well, you decide… Genesee is all about giving the people what they want,” said Benning. “And while we don’t control the weather or the thermostat, Genesee can offer liquid relief, no matter the season!”

Hall Of Fame 1942 – Standing on a replica of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York, on a base bearing his name, Paige is wearing a 1942 Kansas City Monarchs home uniform and holding his Hall of Fame plaque.

He is also wearing a red cap with KC in white. In the audio clip, Judy Johnson talks about the great pitchers in the Negro Leagues.

Relaxing in a Rocking Chair – Sitting in a brown wooden rocking chair, the Paige bobblehead is wearing a 1947 Kansas City Monarchs jacket over his uniform. He is also wearing a blue cap with KC in white. Late in his career, Paige would add to his mystic by sitting in a rocking chair between innings in full view of the crowd. In the audio clip, Paige talks about his call up to the Cleveland Indians and batters opting not to bunt against him.

In the audio clip, Paige talks about how he got his nickname.



The well-traveled Paige was known for his longevity and attracting record crowds whenever he pitched. Larger-than-life thanks to his blistering fastball and legendary showboating, Paige dominated for four decades. In 1971, he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame as the first electee of the Negro Leagues Committee. In his debut MLB season in 1948 at the age of 42, Paige became the first player who had played in the Negro Leagues to pitch in the World Series as he helped the Cleveland Indians win the title. Paige is still considered to be the oldest rookie in Major League Baseball history.

After first playing for the semi-professional Mobile Tigers, his hometown team, from 1924-26, Paige began his professional career in 1926 with the Chattanooga Black Lookouts in 1926. During his career in the Negro Leagues, Paige played for the Birmingham Black Barons (1927-30), Baltimore Black Sox (1930), Cleveland Cubs (1931), Pittsburgh Crawfords (1932-34, 1936), Kansas City Monarchs (1935, 1939-47), New York Black Yankees (1941), Memphis Red Sox (1943) and Philadelphia Stars (1946 and 1950). He was a five-time All-Star and appeared in the uniforms of an estimated 100 teams.

After two seasons with the Cleveland Indians, Paige played with the St. Louis Browns for three seasons until age 47 and represented them in the All-Star Game in 1952 and 1953. In 1965 at age 59, Paige was signed by the Kansas City Athletics for one late-season game and limited the Boston Red Sox to one hit in three innings. Along with saying that he “thrilled millions of people and won hundreds of games,” his Hall of Fame plaque states, “His pitching was a legend among major league hitters.” In addition to the Baseball Hall of Fame, Paige was also inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 1972.

Denny Foster, president of Main & Mill Brewing Company said, “We are so excited to get this first series of cans in everyone’s hands. The opportunity to work with Jay Caldwell from NegroLeaguesHistory.com, the Negro League Baseball Museum, the Paige family, and Graig Kreindler has been nothing short of incredible and we truly look forward to continuing this series in the years ahead. We are honored and proud to be a big part in this unique collaboration.”

“We are thrilled to unveil this special Satchel Paige Talking Baseball Bobblehead collection,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “This first-of-its-kind series of bobbleheads gives fans the opportunity to hear Paige and other Negro Leaguers talk about Paige’s amazing career in their very own collectible bobblehead.”

“Satchel Paige was not only one of the elite pitchers in all of baseball history, his power at the gate owing to his outgoing personality and showmanship are an often-overlooked aspect in integrating baseball in 1947,” said Jay Caldwell, founder of NegroLeaguesHistory.com. “Paige brought together integrated audiences to watch the best baseball players the Negro Leagues had to offer and demonstrated they were the equals of the Major Leagues.”

The Satchel Paige Talking Baseball Bobbleheads will be on display for the first time at an event being held at Oak & Steel Pub on Sunday May 15, 2022, at 3pm. In addition, NegroLeaguesHistory.com will be introducing the Negro Leagues Celebration Series beer featuring Satchel Paige at the event on the 15th. The beer is brewed by Main & Mill Brewery in Festus, MO. The Oak & Steel Pub is located at 120 W 17 St, Kansas City, MO 64108.

About the Negro Leagues

The first successful Negro League was founded by Rube Foster on February 13, 1920, at the Paseo YMCA in Kansas City. Foster believed an organized league structured like major league baseball would lead to eventual integration of the sport and racial reconciliation.  Foster did not live to see his dream come true. Others picked up his cause, and in 1947 Jackie Robinson broke Major League Baseball’s color line.

About the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum

The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, which is located at 170 S. 1st St. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, opened to the public on February 1st, 2019.

Pabst Blue Ribbon Introduces #1776Pack With 1,776 Beers

June 29, 2021 by Dustin Scoggins

Pabst Blue RibbonMILWAUKEE – After 18 months of social distancing and self-isolation, this 4th of July our country steps outside together once again to reclaim its independence. And the nation’s largest American owned brewery, Pabst Blue Ribbon, will be right there to take all of the credit.

Introducing the #1776Pack from Pabst Blue Ribbon. You’re welcome, America.

The #1776Pack will contain 1,776 Pabst Blue Ribbon beers and an infinite amount of Freedom.

“We figured the best way to honor the year America claimed its independence was to make a box that held that many beers – 1,776. It’s the least we could do. I mean beyond making our beer can red, and white, and blue. Actually 1,776 is the most we could do because 1,777 seemed excessive.” – Nick Reely, VP Marketing – Pabst Blue Ribbon

The limited-edition 1776 pack will launch on June 29th with four different partners. First, an iconic American brand whose products have been keeping drinks cold for over 70 years, Igloo Coolers. Additionally, skateboarding podcast crew The Nine Club, comedian Ali Macofsky, and Midwest emo darlings Hot Mulligan will all receive big ol’ boxes of beer. Each partner will provide content (and updates) through the Summer and into Labor Day.

Also, rats at home worry not, there’s already talks of (somehow) an even bigger box being released to the general public soon, as well as the return of the beloved 99-can pack, which is available now. Again, You’re Welcome, America.
