Spring has sprung and American craft brewers are addressing things with exciting new beers you’re gonna want to have around.

The Sága Continues (St Paul, MN) – Summit Brewing has introduced a new variation of its classic Sága IPA that was developed as part of its Sága Goddess Series. Boasting a soft bitterness worthy of the gods and an uber-smooth finish, Summit Sága Hazy IPA is a 7% ABV India Pale Ale with subtle notes of sourdough and bread crust and bright mango, grapefruit, tangerine and passion fruit aromatics.

“The Sága IPA we know, and love isn’t going anywhere,” says Director of Sales Brandon Bland. “It’s a staple for us and something the community has embraced for the last 10 plus years. Developing the Goddess Series gives us a chance to explore ways to expand on one of our top brands and favorite beers. We believe the Sága Goddess Series allows us to discover new ways to engage with our partners and ultimately our consumers.”

Tall Tails (Atlanta, GA) – SweetWater Brewing, the 10^th largest craft brewer in the US which is now owned by a Canadian cannabis company, has returned a popular limited release to its spring seasonal lineup. Bursting with triple dry hop additions of Mosaic, Denali and Waimea, SweetWater Triple Tail Tropical India Pale Ale is a 5.5% ABV IPA that delivers a fruity hop punch of tangerine, papaya, and pineapple notes along with a clean bitterness and fluffy, fragrant head.

Jungle Juiced (San Diego, CA) – Modern Times Beer has returned a hoppy fav that’s been on the back burner since 2020. Crafted with a generous heap of Mosaic Incognito in the whirlpool, as well as a big addition of Mosaic and a touch of Nelson in the dry hop, Modern Times Star Jungle is a 5.5% ABV Hazy Pilsner with a punchy nose of berries, white grapes, and a hint of lychee.

, Weekend Beer: New Spring Ales And Hazy Juice Bombs “Hazy, hoppy, and suitable for daily enjoyment, this special lager ticks all the boxes for a springtime crusher,” said Justin Holmes, Modern Times New Projects Manager. “It’s inspired both by the big hitter IPAs we make day-to-day and the Pilsners we drink when the day is done.”
