MAY

We’re pleased to announce that our May Beer of the Month is none other than Ellicottville Brewing Company! This month when you buy (two) 6-pks of EBC beer, you’ll receive a $10 gift card to use at the Ellicottville brewery! So mix-and-match with all of their different varieties and then head down to the brewery and see where it’s made for yourself!

Starting May 5th, we’re going ‘back to the well’ for the Kentucky Derby. Run, trot, or gallop to your closest Consumer’s Growler Filling Station prior to this Saturday’s horse race (6:34pm). When you purchase any 64oz growler fill, we’ll print the name of a participating horse on your receipt. If your horse wins the Kentucky Derby, you win a FREE growler fill!

Mother’s Day is May 14th and Mom deserve the best. So why buy her a dozen roses that will wilt and die when you can buy her a dozen beers that she can share with you? Swing by, grab a 12pk, and share more than just your love this Mother’s Day.

During the entire month of May, stop into any Consumer’s Beverages to fill out an entry form for a chance to win a Weber Genesis grill courtesy of Budweiser. No purchase necessary! We’ll be picking the winner on May 31st!

Cinco de Mayo is upon us and Consumer’s Beverages has all  of your fiesta beer in stock and ready to be enjoyed. Stop in to one of our 17 locations and make your Cinco de Mayo  ‘muy bueno’. We’ve got a few of our favorites cervesas suggested below…

Please note that our Memorial Day store hours (Monday, May 29, 2017) will be 9:00am-7:00pm. Cheers!

CINCO DE MAYO BEER SUGGESTIONS 

Corona Extra  |  Style: Lager  |  ABV: 4.6%
With a refreshing, smooth taste balanced between heavier European imports and lighter domestic beer, Corona is an even-keeled cerveza with fruity-honey aromas and a touch of malt. The flavor is crisp, clean and well balanced between hops and malt, a superior taste profile from superior ingredients—the finest-quality blend of filtered water, malted barley, hops, corn and yeast.

Corona Light  |  Style: Pilsner-Style Lager  |  ABV: 4.1%
Corona Light is a pilsner-style lager with a uniquely refreshing taste—brewed for outstanding light flavor with a crisp, clean finish. Its pleasant, fruity-honey aroma and distinctive hop flavor make it a favorite of those seeking a light beer that’s full of flavor. Corona Light’s naturally easy-drinking style makes it perfect for pairing with spicy and citrus-infused dishes.

Dos Equis  |  Style: Lager  |  ABV: 4.3%
A crisp, refreshing, light-bodied malt-flavored beer with a well-balanced finish. A lager that drinks like a pilsner. A liquid embodiment of living life to the fullest. A beverage made from pure spring water and the choicest hops. A beer with such good taste, it’s chosen you to drink it.

Modelo Especial  |  Style: Pale Lager  |  ABV: 4.5%
Modelo Especial is a rich, full flavored pilsner brewed with premium two-row barley malt that gives it a slightly sweet, well-balnaced taste with a light hops character and crisp finish.
