We All Like to Be on Top When We Drink

I’ve recently determined that my favorite sort of fishing doesn’t involve a particular species, but rather a particular way to catch them – from Whopper Ploppers for bass to poppers for tuna to dry flies for trout, the common thread in the things I like best is the visual appeal of topwater strikes.

I also like beer, especially when used to celebrate those surface disruptions and the subsequent catches that result from them. Here are a few that combine those two thrills:

Little Creek Top Water Lager

Fonta Flora Topwater

Zilker Topwater Pilsner

Brew Del Mar Buzzbait IPA

If you like your surface action on the long rod, check out the following:

Public House Dry Fly IPA

Fall River Brewing Co. Dry Fly (non-alcoholic)

Alas, New Hampshire’s Topwater Brewing has closed.

However, Dry Fly Distilling continues to have a wealth of options.
