March is just around the corner and American craft brewers are addressing things with an exciting roster of new IPAs you’re gonna want to have around.

Deal Breaker (Pacific City, OR) – Pelican Brewing has an interesting new addition to its roster that’s a tropical take on a brewery fan fav, Beak Breaker Double IPA. Loaded with juicy character and the promise of warmer days to come, Pelican Beak Breaker Tropical Double IPA is a smooth and uber-drinkable 8.8% ABV India Pale Ale with ripe mango, papaya and guava notes and a pleasant malt sweetness.

“The addition of El Dorado and Nectaron hops are a key part of enhancing the tropical impression of this brew,” said Pelican Brewmaster Darron Welch, “while the Citra hops enhance the intensity and create a family likeness to Beak Breaker.”

A “Midwest Nice” Way To Drink (Cleaveland, OH) – When a brewery with a heritage like Great Lakes Brewing introduces an IPA, you know it’s a big deal and this new year-round addition is that and more.

Crafted with a unique blend of Triumph, Strata, Cascade, and Citra hops, Great Lakes Midwest IPA is a 7% ABV India Pale Ale that combines bright, aromatic aromas with an uber-smooth body and lingering finish. Described by GLBC as “the unofficial IPA of Midwest Nice,” this new addition to their growing family of India Pale Ales was developed to become the everyday IPA within the brewery’s year-round portfolio.

“Midwest IPA is our number one priority for 2024,” says Chris Brown, GLBC Vice President, Sales. “Building upon the success of Vibacious Double IPA, we are eager to introduce a world class IPA with the right flavor profile and brand to earn that ‘go-to’ reputation with consumers throughout our distribution footprint.”

Best Of The West (Anaheim, CA) – Founded in 2015, Bravus Brewing, North America’s first non-alcoholic craft brewery has never stopped innovating. The all-NA brewery was created by software engineer-turned-brewer Philip Brandes, who sought to solve a craft beer-loving friend’s dilemma of how to maintain his new sobriety without having to give up his favorite beverage.

And they’ve a terrific citrus IPA that won’t muddy your head.

Lighter on calories, yet brimming with flavor, Bravus West Coast IPA is buzz-free take on the classic style, with earthy pine and citrus notes that are tethered to a subtle malt backbone
