Arizona Cardinals
Their beer : Sonoran Brew Co. DFRNT IPA
Sonoran ’s beer is different because it ’s an English - style IPA , which is n’t the most unwashed variation of the trend in the States . And the team is hoping things will be DFRNT too . Maybe this is the year they wo n’t have to converge the Panthers in the NFC Championship Game again , though they probably will . But with Mathieu recovered from an ACL tear and leading one of the honorable secondaries in football , Palmer playing up to his full potential , and Larry Fitzgerald continuing to dominate , they ’ve got a real shot at the Super Bowl .
Atlanta Falcons
Their beer : Orpheus Brewing Abandon All HopeFall typically brings with it a horde of big , bourbon barrelful - aged stouts , and Abandon All Hope is no different . It ’s also a beer Falcons fan might want to cozy up to , because they ’re going to need a 14 % beer to help them endure a farsighted , brute season . While Devonta Freeman and Julio Jones are vivid spots , the defense team is nonexistent . This squad will perpetually be in the shadow of their divisional rivals in Carolina until there are some wholesale changes on that side of the ball . But hey , at leastthe beer in Georgiais somewhat good these solar day !
Baltimore Ravens
Their beer : Union Craft Old ProThis gose , like Old ( All ) Pro Terrell Suggs , is n’t going to be around much longer . You wo n’t be capable to get the beer past October , but that does n’t mean you ca n’t appreciate it now . And the same goes for Suggs – he ’s 34 , and was a vital part of the 2013 Super Bowl team , but now he might be more known for scrap with The Rock onBallers . Good luck to the Ravens to win more than six game this year .
Buffalo Bills
Their beer : Resurgence Brewing Co. Resurgence IPALike the name of the theme song IPA from one of Buffalo ’s all right breweries , the Bills will feel a resurgence this season . grant , it ’ll probably be from a team that goes 8 - 8 to a squad that move 9 - 7 , but that ’s something ! The queasy weapon of this squad are undeniable , with QB Tyrod Taylor , the speedy Sammy Watkins , andMr . 20 - Cent TipLeSean McCoy . The defensive weapons of this team are … how about that offensive !
Carolina Panthers
Their beer : Legion Brewing Co. Carolina Sparkle PartyFirst of all , not only is Carolina Sparkle Party one of the unspoilt beer name we ’ve seen recently , but it ’s also the name of a solid Brett offering from theLegion folks . And while the Panthers were unstoppable in 2015 ( up until the first of the Super Bowl ) , it ’s tough not to look at the raw natural endowment of the D and Cam Newton and not see them deep into the NFC playoffs again this yr . It might not end in a championship parade work through Charlotte , but at the very least there should be a Sparkle Party .
Chicago Bears
Their beer : Half Acre GoneAway IPAThis gem of an IPA used to be known as " Heyoka " ( before aboriginal American groups complained ) and then " Senita " ( before some brewery with a similarly named beer quetch ) . Did you lie with the franchise now acknowledge as the Bears was once the Decatur Staleys ? It ’s true . Nomenclature change aside , some rather significant bear have also GoneAway this offseason ( Matt Forte in particular ) , and if the preseason is any indication , there will be no shortage of games this year where the buff have GoneAway by halftime .
Cincinnati Bengals
Their beer : Fifty West Brewing Co. perforate You in the EyePA"Punch You in the Eye " is a pop Phish song , closely the name of Fifty West ’s 100 - IBU DIPA , and one of thefew things the Bengals were n’t penalizedfor in the last few moment of the Steelers playoff game , in what ’s probably one of the worst meltdowns in NFL playoff history . Before Dalton go down , they looked like they might make a political campaign , but alternatively they lose in the first rhythm , as they ’ve done for five square years . They ’ll credibly suck again this season ! Whatever , they ’ve always induce the Cavs . Ah shit , that ’s Cleveland . It must be horrifying to be a Bengals lover .
Cleveland Browns
Their beer : Great Lakes Blackout StoutThe much - beloved Russian imperial stout from the OG of Cleveland ’s brewing tantrum feels all too appropriate , as much of the public is still keeping the party go from a certain recent basketball winner that terminate the metropolis ’s on-going failure festival . But do n’t worry : come wintertime the Blackout will be more about soothing the pain of RG III ’s inevitable wound and/or ineffectiveness and Josh Gordon ’s inevitable suspension . It ’ll be just like old prison term !
Dallas Cowboys
Their beer : Deep Ellum Easy PeasyRomo ’s out six to 12 weeks , but like the sessionable Easy Peasy IPA , that word goes down … well-fixed . See , this offseason Jerry Jones prepared for the inevitableness that Romo would go down in a heap – and the early signs are that he planned well , because Dak Prescott has had a seriously near - looking preseason . He ’s still a rookie , but with weapons like Witten and Dez , it ’ll be elusive for him to screw up that much .
Denver Broncos
Their beer : Comrade Brewing SuperpowerThe Broncos won games last season when Manning threw the ball like an 80 - class - previous grandad playing catch with his grandson , only with far worse accuracy . So with Von Miller re - signing and the quietus of the 500 look no worse for wear , expect the Broncos to continue to be an AFC major power , just like this 100 - IBU American IPA . New QB Trevor Siemian ’s job is not to supercede Peyton , but to simply not be intercepted every prison term . The superhuman and strangely four - eyed Miller will take care of the sleep .
Detroit Lions
Their beer : Griffin Claw Norm ’s Raggedy Ass IPAThings have n’t been great for the Lions in late long time – or , just about any yr , really – but at least they could count on a few striking Megatron consequence each season in between hobbling ankle harm . Well , like Barry Sanders before him , Calvin ’s gone before his time because the Lions made him sad . So yeah , without the one guy who could make Matt Stafford appear competent , it ’s gon na be one Raggedy - Ass law-breaking ( and defense too , probably ! ) .
Green Bay Packers
Their beer : Ale Asylum UnshadowedLike every year , the Packers attend jolly hopeful . But this yr none of it matters . Why ? BecauseAaron Rodgers ' brother wonThe Bachelorette ! He has formally emerged from his more striking and gifted pal ’s * shadow * . So yeah , forget about the Super Bowl , Green Bay . Fortune does not smile that heavily on one family in a exclusive year . Enjoy another 10 - 6 season and another offseason of grumbling about Mike McCarthy ’s game management . Oh ! And also enjoy this fine German - flair hefeweizen .
Houston Texans
Their beer : Karbach Brewing Weekend WarriorWhen JJ Watt is n’t hurt , he ’s very good at his job – make quarterbacks like they ’d determine against a life history where a very fast cat who is 6'5 " and 290lbs adjudicate to inflict pain on them . The man is a real Weekend Warrior , and not the kind who find out football game all Clarence Shepard Day Jr. on the sofa wassail a 5.5 % ABV sessionable pale ale . And fortunately enough for Texan fan , he looks to be recovered from his bulwark injury just in time for the even time of year . Mostly , the squad and its fans will be trying to erase memories of a dismantle at the manus of the Chiefs in last year ’s playoffs , and that should get easier with new QB Brock Osweiler .
Indianapolis Colts
Their beer : Upland Easy ChairIn honor of Peyton Manning ’s retreat . Yes , he most recently play ( and win a Super Bowl ) with the Broncos , but you would n’t eff it by the number of Colts rooter gush about it on Facebook as if it had been their own team . Peyton ’s gone everybody ! Now enjoy watch the Colts waste Andrew Luck ’s bloom with a suspect nauseating line as you sip this easy - imbibing gold , hopefully in an Easy Chair . Which is where Peyton is correctly now . Because he ’s retired . So stop talk about him .
Jacksonville Jaguars
Their beer : Engine 15 Nut Sack double brown alePoor Blake Bortles . The human was sacked the most out of any NFL QB last season – 51 times , which is five more than even human tag end doll Aaron Rodgers . There can be no more appropriate beer than the Nut Sack , a appropriately barmy English - style brown ale . Load up on Nut Sacks , Jags rooter – this is gon na be a foresighted , long time of year . As if there ’s any other sort for this enfranchisement .
Kansas City Chiefs
Their beer : threefold Shift Run Around RyeLast year , Jamaal Charles was n’t able to go Around – a beer the brewery tell taste like rye bread in a glass ! – because he hurt his ACL in game six . But then the Chiefs get ahead 10 straight and whupped the Texans in the playoffs . Charles was n’t the only one damage – you wonder if they could ’ve even beat the Pats in the divisional bout if near the entire squad had n’t been injured and look out from the sidelines . Other than Charles , the playmakers will be on D , and it ’s probable that the Chiefs will be a serious problem for team in the AFC in 2016 .
Los Angeles Rams
Their beer : Golden Road Back Home gingerbread stoutYeah , Golden Road might not be " craft " anymore , but how could we not select that beerbased on its name alone ? Before the Rams sucked in St. Louis , they sucked in LA , and now they ’re Back Home ! Just banter , I was n’t alive back when the Rams were in LA in 1946 . They might have been just … ? Either way , Back Home is an 8.5 % majestic stout , which Angelenos can wassail to warm themselves up in " winter " while watch Todd Gurley direct his way through over - matched defenses .
Miami Dolphins
Their beer : J. Wakefield Let ’s plain ItWe’re list the unknown , summery sour beer / cyder jazz group Let ’s sound off It in honor of the Dolphins ' secure player who happens to have ahistory of kick people : Ndamukong Suh . And because he could beat up all of Thrillist ’s editorial faculty in a fight even if we all tried to attack him at the same fourth dimension . This squad has been mired in mediocrity for some time now , and this season is not go to be any better . But hey , they ’ve got Arian Foster now !
Minnesota Vikings
Their beer : Surly DarknessCould have pass away with numerous other Surly offerings here ( Furious , anyone ? ) , but the much - sought - after , jet - black stout Darkness feel most appropriate given the vestige Teddy Bridgewater ’s out - of - nowhere knee implosion has cast over the season . Wo n’t even make a sarcastic comment about it – combat injury take up . Best of destiny with Sam Bradford .
New England Patriots
Their beer : Trillium Broken AngelOne - time NFL Golden son Tom Brady ’s finally caved and will service his Ballghazi suspension , ( hopefully ) ending the longest and lamest football scandal anyone can commend , although Pats lover ' continued persecution complex is expected to endure indefinitely . Enjoy this well - balance Belgian strong during your calendar month - long fling with Jimmy Garoppolo and beyond .
New Orleans Saints
Their beer : Courtyard Brewery Lonesome Traveler IPA ( individual - hopped series)Things are n’t calculate too cheery for the bearers of the fleur - de - lis this class . QB Drew Brees , who will reach the $ 30 million salary cap this class , is under lots of pressure to single - handedly Libra the Balance out a for the most part ineffective team coming off a bitingly disappointing 5 - 5 2015 season – almost as bitter as Courtyard Brewery ’s Lonesome Traveler IPA , a moderately potent 7.2 % brewage whose handsome , light - foreshorten malt stand carry the system of weights of carrying an total pint ’s worth of unpredictable hop fibre on its back .
New York Giants
Their beer : Other Half All Green EverythingIf you watch the Giants play last year , you credibly noticed two thing : Odell Beckham Jr. is a sports robot designed by scientists to get football game in heart - pop , improper way ; and the Giants ' expert defensive thespian is a guy who does n’t have all 10 finger . Sorry , DRC . The owners wised up in the off - season and spent$200 millionto sign terminate , tackles , and corners . perchance this twelvemonth their best player on D will be someone with 10 fingers . Either way , put forward a super - duper - hoppy ( 120 IBU ! ) All Green Everything triple IPA to lionize the Giants spending a caboodle of green on justificatory players . They ’ll in all likelihood still miss the playoff .
New York Jets
Their beer : Alphabet City Alpha Male IPAFootball is a game meet by alpha males for a bunch of mass who sit around on a couch and cheerfulness from a safe distance . jet-propelled plane fans can sip on 6.2 % , hop - wad Alpha Male in pureness of Darrelle Revis , who , despite being 31 , can still be call a shutdown corner . With Ryan Fitzpatrick re - signed , some grampus play on D , and Todd Bowles looking like he ’s a legit head autobus , peradventure this could be the year . Wait , they still have to represent in the same partitioning as the Pats and much - improved Bills . Good luck to them !
Oakland Raiders
Their beer : Independent Brewing Carpe DiemJust when the Raiders take up to look like a licit contender in the AFC – with the play of Carr , Crabtree , and a decorous run attack – the team still might get out for the beige - r pastures of Las Vegas in the nigh future . So Carpe Diem , devotee of the silver and ignominious . Enjoy every bit of that 8.6 % ABV DIPA from Independent . And when you ’re done , play the nightmare scenario in your mind of whether you ’d cheer for the Vegas Raiders or the Niners .
Philadelphia Eagles
Their beer : Dock Street Man Full of TroubleThe press from fans and the media on a new forefront double-decker in Philly isintense . Especially the new head coach of the Eagles . Chip Kelly was fired last season and was pass out of town so sharply , he had to take a job as far away as physically possible in San Francisco . And while Doug Pederson will likely get a year or two to fancy thing out , the 5.2 % ABV Man Full of Trouble ’s London - style door guard is perfectly refer . Now that Bradford ’s gone , good luck figure out whether to commence a rookie or a vocation backup at QB , Dougie .
Pittsburgh Steelers
Their beer : Grist House Wheatin ' for the WeekendEvery Tuesday of every exclusive calendar week during the NFL time of year , those lucky bastards that call themselves Steelers fans must be Wheatin ' for the Weekend , just like the 4.3 % ABV pale ale that bears its name from Grist . Since 2004 , they ’ve had no time of year under .500 and won two Super Bowls , mostly thanks to a self-colored D , Roethlisberger , and stager Antonio Brown . The D has suckle as of late , but the offence remains such a lustrous spot that they ’re repeated competition .
San Diego Chargers
Their beer : Coronado Idiot IPASan Diego ! You were almost out ! The Chargers were ready to leave and become LA ’s problem , leaving you to enjoy all of your amazing beer , pristine beaches , and beautiful partially employed residents . But no ! Now there ’s a vote enterprise for a new Downtown stadium and you KNOW how those things go . This franchise bring in you nothing but disappointment . permit them go .
San Francisco 49ers
Their beer : Harmonic Brewing Espress Yourself kettle - sour saison with coffee beansBetween QB Colin Kaepernick publicly expressing his controversial political self , a brand - fresh carriage , and a signally potent ( like 8.1 % ABV potent ) docket , the 49ers ' 2016 appears a lot less smooth than last year ’s 5 - 11 season . The Niners ' rookie - heavy card mirror this wildly fermented brew , and the squad will emphatically need some caffeine - fueled peppiness to maintain their depth against unrelenting match - ups . But with any luck , these guys can rule this sour expectation to keep their game fresh .
Seattle Seahawks
Their beer : Spinnaker Bay Do n’t Panic!Remember when people gave up on the Seahawks last season after week six , when they were 2 - 4 ? Russell Wilson was garbage , the defense had hole , and Pete Carroll was unquestionably going to be aggressively chewing gumwood on another team ’s sideline in 2016 . awry , wrong , wrong . Do n’t Panic ! is the perfect beer for the Hawks , not only because this porter is a rich , chocolaty , mocha - y pint that ’ll warm up up the 12th Men all wintertime long , but also because this squad is a auto . Wilson play his good football game in the second half and contribute the team into the playoffs , where they lost to a very good Panthers team in the divisional round . They ’ll still be solid in 2016 , with the only major change this season being that Lynch withdraw andWilson is no longer a Virgo .
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Their beer : Cigar City Florida ManThe beer that capsule the team that encapsulate its state . You do n’t know WHAT it ’ll be with the Bucs this year . possibly they ’ll have another MRSA outbreak . Maybe Jameis Winston will backslide and boost a shipping container full of crustacean . But the track record of calamity with this franchise is unassailable , much like this imperial IPA .
Tennessee Titans
Their beer : Bearded Iris HabitYeah , yeah , Marcus Mariota looks like a future virtuoso and the squad signed Demarco Murray , blah blah blah . There is nothing more telling about the Titans than the fact that Dick LeBeau , the D coordinator , will sour 79 friggin ' days old in September . He will have been train nonstop since 1973 . LeBeau has coach so long , it ’s become a serious Habit , much like the 70 - IBU IPA from Bearded Iris . And maybe the Titans can presently break the use of suck so firmly – they ’ve had a losing phonograph record five out of the last six seasons .
Washington Redskins
Their beer : Atlas Brew Works RowdyI’ll intromit – I did not call back Kirk Cousins had the goods . But after he got a little Rowdy ( a 6.2 % rye IPA ) in calendar week seven andscreamed , " You care that ! " , DC ’s team die 7 - 3 , succeed the NFC East … and then got smacked down by the Packers in the playoffs . This year , the mostly drivel defense suffer an rise with Josh Norman , and with the East looking as weak as ever , we might get to see Cousins in the playoffs again this year .
