Top 5 Valentine Beers for Singles on Valentine’s Day by Anne-Fitten Glenn
Found this list of 5 beers for singles on Valentine’s Day by Anne-Fitten Glenn in a CraftBeer.com article written a couple of years ago.
Alimony Ale IPA – Buffalo Bill’s Brewery – California. While this beer is no longer the bitterest beer in America, it’s still billed as “irreconcilably different.” Alimony never tasted so sweet!
Raging Bitch – Flying Dog Brewing Co. – Maryland. This Belgian-style IPA is a perfect post-breakup beer regardless of your gender.
Total Domination IPA – Ninkasi Brewing – Oregon. Just relax and let the intense hop flavors of this beer dominate your senses. Thank Ninkasi (the Sumerian Goddess of beer and the brewery’s namesake) for this tasty treat.
Polygamy Porter – Wasatch Brew Pub & Brewing – Utah. While it may be illegal to be married to more than one person at a time, it’s completely legal to enjoy more than one beer at a time.
Damnation – Russian River Brewing – California. This strong golden ale may just make you forget the seven levels of hell your ex put you through.
Our suggestions: Since Valentine’s Day for single adults is less about candlelit dinners and more about cracking open a cold Valentine beer while binge-watching a show that doesn’t involve sappy love confessions. The beer of choice? A bold, unapologetic IPA—something like Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA. It’s got enough hoppy swagger to match your “I’m single and thriving” vibe, with a 9% ABV that says, “I’m here to party, not to pine.” Pair it with a heart-shaped pizza you ordered for yourself, because nothing screams self-love like extra cheese and a bitter finish that mirrors your last dating app convo.
If you’re feeling a bit dramatic about your solo status, go for a rich, brooding stout like Founders Breakfast Stout. This bad boy tastes like coffee and chocolate had a love child, which is perfect for drowning out the Instagram stories of couples flaunting their overpriced roses. At 8.3% ABV, it’s strong enough to make you forget the guy who ghosted you after three texts but smooth enough to remind you that you’re better off sipping alone than splitting a cheap rosé with someone who says “sup” unironically.
For those who are aggressively embracing the single life—maybe you’re even throwing an anti-Valentine’s Day Zoom party—grab a Sixpoint Party Hat Hazy IPA. It’s got a tropical, in-your-face flavor that screams, “I don’t need a plus-one to have a good time.” The 7.5% ABV keeps the night lively, and the can’s loud design practically begs to be held up in a toast to freedom. Chug it while dancing to your breakup playlist, because nothing says “I’m over it” like spilling a little beer on your couch and calling it a personality trait.
