COORS LONG TALL ONES

What’s taller than a tallboy beer can? This summer, Coors Light is asking and answering that question with a new, first-of-its-kind, limited-release canister — the Coors Light Tallerboy — an oversized koozie-like container that fits three 12-ounce cans of Coors Light stacked to the unwieldy height of 18 inches.

The elongated beer can holder is the latest release from the brand’s 2026 FIFA World Cup-associated campaign and was inspired by longtime Telemundo correspondent and legendary soccer announcer Andrés Cantor, beloved for his trademark score call: "¡Gooooooooooooool!"

In a nod to Cantor's famous announcing style, Coors has lengthened its brand name in the campaign’s advertisements. Following suit, the Tallerboy canister depicts an extended “Coooooooooooooors” product name featuring a whopping 14 “o’s." Fans are encouraged to submit their own versions of a “Coors call” through the Coors Light website for a chance to win prizes worth up to $10,000.

Coors Light is launching a limited-edition 18-inch-tall “Tallerboy” canister that holds and insulates three stacked 12-ounce cans of beer.

The Tallerboy is part of Coors Light’s 2026 FIFA World Cup–themed campaign with soccer announcer Andrés Cantor, whose signature extended “¡Gooooooooooooool!” call inspired the product’s elongated design.

The stainless steel canister features an extended Coors logo and is accompanied by a sweepstakes encouraging fans to submit their own goal call for a chance to win prizes worth up to $10,000.

 

A REVOLUTIONARY BEER

WHAT GEORGE DRANK

 

Did you know George Washington made a recipe for beer? 250 years lter the truth can be told.

Talea Beer Co. wants to give you a taste of history this summer. Inspired by George Washington’s handwritten recipe for making “small beer,” the Brooklyn-based and women-owned brewery has partnered with the New York Public Library (NYPL) to release a limited-edition amber lager that’s simply titled the Liberty Lager

Washington’s original recipe was recorded in a notebook that the Founding Father kept while serving as a colonel in the Virginia militia. The journal has found its long-term home at the NYPL and is in the library’s digitized archives. Brent Reidy, director of the research libraries at the NYPL, says the Liberty Lager will allow New Yorkers to “literally tap into history” and get a “flavorful peek at life in pre-revolutionary times.”

The beer launch coincides with the NYPL’s series of events, exhibitions, and educational opportunities this summer that will commemorate the United States’ 250th birthday on July 4. The library’s patriotic initiative includes the debut of a limited-edition library card, a special anniversary book list, book giveaways, instant digital access to audiobooks and e-books, and a weekly release of ticket reservations to view the Declaration of Independence, which will be on display from July 1 through 7 at the NYPL’s flagship location.

Small beer was historically a low-ABV fermented malt beverage that served as “an answer to the problem of non-potable water,” according to Talea's head of production, Eric Brown. He says that "by boiling the water, adding hops, which are naturally antiseptic, and lowering the pH during fermentation,” small beer offered a relatively safe, shelf-stable, and palatable source of hydration and nutrition at a time when clean drinking water was difficult to come by. Small beer wasn't just consumed by soldiers. It was enjoyed by people of all ages and demographics and was likely a staple for both Washington’s army and his household.
