Summer will soon be giving way to fall and American craft brewers are addressing the changing season with an intriguing roster of beers you’re gonna want to have around.
Tiki Timed (Paso Robles, CA) – Firestone Walker Brewing has returned a tasty Mind Haze IPA variation that’s exclusively available, along with two other takes, as part of the 2023 Mind Haze Tropical Hazy Mixed Pack.
Born of pure hops and freshly toasted coconut, Firestone Mind Haze Tiki Smash IPA is a 6.2% ABV Hazy India Pale Ale which was crafted with the original’s Azacca hops that are now joined by Motueka and Sabro cultivars to up the beer’s tropical character.
“We use an elaborate system to introduce freshly toasted coconut for a smooth, subtle extraction,” said Brewmaster Matt Brynildson. “The resulting beer showcases the special synergy of natural coconut with the tropical hop flavors of Mind Haze.”
New England Music Meets Beer (Stamford, CT) – Two Roads Brewing has partnered with Vermont singer & songwriter Noah Kahan, who’s music has been touted as one of 2023’s biggest and best new artists, on a new beer that you’ll want to chase down. New England to its core, Noah Kahan’s Northern Attitude IPA is a piney, resinous, 7% ABV India Pale Ale inspired by the music that Noah’s fans have come to know and love.
And a portion of all proceeds from the beer will be donated to The Busyhead Project, an organization founded by Kahan that provides resources to mental health organizations dedicated to meeting the needs of marginalized communities with both crisis care and tools for sustainable resilience.
Noah, his music, and his values embody the same Road Less Traveled mindset we take to crafting beer,” said Collin Kennedy, Director of Marketing of Two Roads. “Noah and Two Roads are both from, and of, New England, wear their regional pride on their sleeves and draw upon that region to inspire their respective crafts. So, teaming up with Noah to create a beer that pays homage to our roots and benefits an important cause in The Busyhead Project was just a natural from the start.”
Bodacious (Baltimore, MD) – Heavy Seas Beer, Maryland’s first and largest craft brewer, has a new release that pays homage to the brewery’s deep-rooted Maryland heritage. Artfully blending a malty richness with a refreshingly dry finish, Heavy Seas BOHdacious Blonde is a 4.5% ABV Blonde Ale that we suspect was created to fill the vacuum left by the departure Guinness Blonde, another local fav, which with the closing of the Guinness Baltimore production facility, is no longer available.
