April is ON and American craft brewers are welcoming the warmer weather with a fun roster of new offerings that you’re gonna want to have around.

Drink Like A German (Northglenn, CO) – Prost Brewing is a Colorado craft brewery renowned for its award-winning biergarten-style biers which are brewed authentically with sustainably sourced German-grown hops and malts that are hand-selected for quality. And they are kicking off 2025 with a classic limited release that couldn’t be more welcome.

Light in color and body, but massively flavorful, Prost Helles is a 5% ABV Munich-Style Golden Lager with bright, vibrant notes and the old-world earthiness of pilsner and Vienna malts, offset by a very traditional, noble hop character.

“The German word ‘Helles’ means pale,” said Prost President David Deline. “And while it’s now considered a traditional style, it actually caused controversy when it was introduced in the mid-1800’s, challenging older, darker styles for the title of ‘real’ Bavarian lager.”

An Award-Winner 5 Times Over (Huntington Beach, CA) – BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse, a national chain renowned for its California-style pizza and its award-winning craft beers, has returned something special.

Available nationwide at BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse outlets across the nation starting April 24, BJ’s Nit Wit White Ale is a light and sessionable 4.7% ABV Belgian-Style Witbier with a lively citrus aroma and smooth wheat character.

And unlike many traditional hefeweizens, Nit Wit skips the banana and clove and leans into zesty orange and subtle spicing, giving it extra bright and crisp kick. And with top honors from the Great American Beer Festival and North American Beer Awards, this is a beer that’s definitely worth chasing down.

Daytripper (Atlanta, GA) – — SweetWater Brewing, the largest craft brewer in the Southeast has a new fruit-forward addition to its year-round flagship line. Crafted with a melodious blend of Columbus, Citra, Waimea, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops, SweetWater Daytrip IPA is an easy-drinking 6.6% ABV India Pale Ale bursting with bright, juicy, tropical flavors and a smooth, refreshing finish.

“Daytrip IPA captures the bold, dynamic hop characteristics SweetWater fans adore, while presenting a lower bitterness,” said Prinz Pinakatt, Chief Growth Officer at Tilray Beverages. “Rigorous research and extensive testing have gone into perfecting this recipe, and choosing premium ingredients.”
