March is ON and American craft brewers are addressing things with an exciting roster of new IPAs you’re gonna want to have around.
Pitch Perfect (Asheville, NC) – Hi-Wire Brewing is shaking things up again with the newest addition to its growing family of “pitch-perfect” IPAs. Meticulously crafted using layers of juicy American hops post-fermentation, Hi-Wire Hazy Pitch is a hefty 7.2% ABV New England Style IPA with big tropical punch, chewy pineapple, and bright citrus notes. Hazy Pitch receives over twice as many hops in the dry hop stage compared to other Pitch IPAs, creating a bigger and hazier juice bomb that rounds out the Hi-Wire line.
“Though we’ve played in the hazy IPA space for years… Hazy Pitch is our latest and greatest adventure,” said Bryna Frosaker, co-owner of Hi-Wire Brewing, “and we’re thrilled to add it to our core year-round lineup.”

Let The Good Times Roll (Elmsford, NY) – Mikey McFerran, founder of Good Time Brewing, is a seasoned bar industry veteran who is redefining non-alcoholic beer. The idea for Good Time began in early 2020, following his son’s diagnosis with a congenital heart defect. Knowing alcohol wouldn’t have much of a place in his son’s life, McFerron began crafting NA alternatives, like this brilliant IPA.
Built on a smart menu of specially curated barley, wheat and oat malts, a well-rounded backbone that allows the hops to shine, Good Time IPA is a buzz-free “East meets West” Indian Pale Ale that, we promise you, will not disappoint.
Great Lakes Brewing Doubles Down On Success (Cleaveland, OH) – Building upon the success of 2023 release Vibacious Double IPA, Great Lakes Brewing has introduced an exciting new variation. Crafted with a smart blend of real citrus and natural fruit flavors, Great Lakes Juicy Vibacious is a 9.5% ABV Double India Pale Ale with an even brighter and juicier flavor profile than the original.
“A juicy version of GLBC’s most successful innovation in years will only elevate both brands,” says Chris Brown, GLBC Chief Commercial Officer. “Very few times do sequels outdo the original, but we believe Juicy is poised to not only grow the Vibacious family, but match or beat the 2023 Vibacious debut.”
Vibacious Double IPA was ranked as the #7 overall new craft brand of 2023 per Circana data, making it one of GLBC’s most successful innovation stories to date.
