It’s no secret that in-flight beverages have always tended to be on the bland side. Maybe it was cool to drink Stella Artois during your flight home from college when you first turned twenty-one and had yet to develop any taste for real beer, but now you’re an adult and your tastebuds deserve something flavorful and refreshing! Delta is going to help you sophisticate your palate.

Depending on where you’re going, you can indulge in hoppy richness from Ballast Point Brewing Company (San Diego, CA), Blue Point Brewing Company (Long Island, NY), Brooklyn Brewery (Brooklyn, NY), Lagunitas Brewing Company (Petaluma, CA), Newburyport Brewing Company (Newburyport, MA), Samuel Adams (Boston), Stone Brewing Company (Escondido, CA) in addition to Atlanta’s SweetWater Brewery.

Delta Air Lines Regional Craft Beers

The addition of craft beers to Delta’s in-flight beverage service is part of the airline’s new focus in making the flying experience more enjoyable and regionally catered. Delta enlisted the help of chef Linton Hopkins to create seasonal menus for their passengers, so not only can you sip on a tasty IPA, you can enjoy it with a nice slab of meat.*

Find out which beers you can sip during your next flight on the Delta website.
