Magnolia Brewing and 21st Amendment Brewery have teamed up again for a month-long celebration of strong beers in February. Featuring brews over 8 percent ABV, Strong Beer Month is not for the faint of heart. Previously, the theme of Strong Beer Month focused on a classic rock album. However, this year, the brewers were inspired by 1950s and 1960s monster movies.

Thanks to Dick Cantwell from Magnolia, Shaun O’Sullivan from 21st Amendment and the brewers from each respective brewery, craft beer drinkers can enjoy 12 new monstrous brews, six from each location, throughout the month of February.
