Second Sin Brewing Company is one of many local breweries selling Eagles-themed beer during the playoffs.

There's nothing like cracking open a cold one to watch the Eagles in the playoffs, and there are plenty of beers dedicated to the NFC East champions that are available ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams.

If you're also a fan of citrus IPAs, you're in luck because many of these Birdy brews happen to be mango-flavored and hoppy.

The Tush Push, named after the Eagles' beloved first-down shove, has tropical pineapple, peach and passion fruit candy flavors. Both brews are available on tap or in cans at their taprooms in South Philly and Fishtown. They can be preordered online for pickup.

Evil Genius Beer Co., Fly Like an Eagle (6.2%)

The mango water ice-inspired New England-style IPA returned to the menu for the playoffs. Bursts of tropical flavors from the fresh mango puree are combined with a creamy vanilla. It's only available at the taproom in Fishtown (1727 N. Front St.), nicknamed "The Lab."

The tailgate-ready crisp IPA is available at taprooms in Philly, Downingtown, Parkesburg and Kennett Square. Or, you can find it at a distributor in your area.

The hazy IPA is a tribute to legendary Eagles announcers Mike Quick and Merrill Reese. It's a "heavily hopped" beer with an overripe mango taste.

It's available to buy at taprooms in Conshohocken, King of Prussia and Phoenixville to enjoy in person or to-go. Mike & Merrill can also be ordered online and shipped within Pennsylvania.
