American Craft Beer The Best Craft Beer, Breweries, Bars, Brewpubs, Beer Stores, And Restaurants Serving Serious Beer.
February is ON and American craft brewers are addressing things with exciting new beers you’re gonna want to have around.
On The Horizon (Hershey PA) – Tröegs Independent Brewing has a new spring addition to the brewery’s popular Hop Cycle Series, a line of seasonally rotating IPAs, which also includes Field Study IPA, Lucky Holler Hazy IPA and Blizzard of Hops Winter IPA. Crafted with a subtle blend of pale malts, wheat and oats and a smart medley of Citra, Mosaic and Sabro hops, Tröegs Hop Horizon is a 6.5% ABV India Pale with juicy waves of citrus, hints of bubblegum and a pop of tropical fruit. “
“When we were working on Hop Horizon, we really focused on how to nudge that hop combination in a new direction,” said brewmaster and co-founding brother John Trogner. “For Hop Horizon, we concentrated on the tropical side. Sabro brightens things up with a pop of tropical fruit. The aroma hits you as soon as you crack a can. It’s like smelling a hop field in full bloom.”

Two Hearts May Be Better Than One (Comstock, MI) – In late December Bell’s Brewery announced the expansion of its iconic Two Hearted IPA brand family with the release of a hazy take on their popular original. The first hazy IPA worthy of the Hearted label, Bell’s Hazy Hearted IPA is an uber-worthy smooth and pillowy 7.5% ABV India Pale Ale with tropical, fruit-forward flavors, a moderate bitterness, and a balanced, slightly sweet finish.
“Not just any hazy IPA could join the Hearted family,” said Andy Farrell, Brewmaster at Bell’s Brewery. “So we worked for years to craft a flavorful beer that brings out the fruity taste IPA drinkers love, while maintaining the quality and balance Two Hearted IPA fans have come to expect.”
Cherry Oh! (Portland, OR) – Cascade Brewing, a pioneer of the sour beer renaissance since 2006, has a new late-winter offering that’s a shot of spring. Featuring its classic Sour Rye Ale which aged in a foudre for 12 months with Oregon grown Montmorency sour cherries, Cherry Lime Casc-ade is a 5.9% ABV limited release which was finished with generous amounts of fresh citrus zest and a gentle touch of vanilla bean to complement the bright cherry flavor.
