WORDS Michaela Stehr
You’ve got the cool cooler and the Scandi-brand backpack – now all you need is an equally good-looking beverage for your hike, family braai or camping getaway. These new designs caught our eye.
AEGIR PROJECT SPRING ALE SESSION PALE ALE
Aegir’s newest limited-edition baby is dry-hopped, with fresh spring flowers. It’s also super-sessionable (i.e. easy- drinking) because it’s light, bright and bursting with floral aromatics, and has an ABV of 3.8%.

YOUR ADVENTURE BUDDY UGLY NEGRONI
A flawlessly classic bitter cocktail (with 28% ABV) – but in a pouch! Pop it in the freezer before serving, if you can – otherwise a glass of ice and a sunset will pair brilliantly. And the Espresso Martini is worth a try, too.
