2025 is ON and both Belgian and American brewers are weathering winter with a new roster of beers that you’re gonna want to have around.
Seeing Japanese (Turlock, CA) – Central California’s Dust Bowl Brewing has a new addition to its Classic Core Series, a collection of traditional styles crafted for everyday enjoyment. Inspired by the Japanese rice lager of yore, Dust Bowl Light is a crisp 4.1% ABV refresher with only 95 calories and 2.4g of carbs.
“I gained an appreciation for light, crisp lagers while living in Japan,” said Don Oliver, Brewmaster. “Dust Bowl Light is inspired by those refreshing beers. It’s brewed with rice and a lager yeast that lends a mild, drinkable character making it a versatile beer.”
Family Owned, Operated & Argued Over (Chico, CA) – Sierra Nevada Brewing, a family-owned, heritage craft brewer, has a terrific new limited release that we just got our hands on. Brewed as a temporary respite from the chilly winter winds, Sierra Nevada Hop Tropical IPA is a 6.5% ABV India Pale Ale with lush Southern Hemisphere hops loaded with rich mango and passionfruit notes.

“I love winter, but sometimes the biting cold can be a bit much, and I find myself thinking of a beach somewhere in the tropics,” said Brian Grossman, Chief Brewer and second-generation brewery owner at Sierra Nevada. “ This beer is that kind of thought process – its bright, fruity hop flavors transport me to that topical scene in my mind, which is a welcome escape in the depths of winter.”
Winter’s Coming (Northglenn, CO) – Prost Brewing Co. is a Colorado craft brewery renowned for its award-winning biergarten-style biers that are brewed authentically with sustainably sourced German-grown hops and malts that are hand-selected for quality. And with winter nearing they’ve returned a cold weather classic.
Sporting aromatics reminiscent of winter spices and toasted chestnuts and walnuts, Prost Winter Lager is a balanced and approachable 6% ABV Bock-Style Lager with a malty, toasty character and a clean, crisp finish.

“It’s a pleasure to craft this type of traditional bier style, which has an interesting history,” Prost Brewing Co. president David Deline said. “Because of their robust character, bock-style lagers were once brewed as sustenance for monks during times of fasting. It’s as fantastic today as it was in the 13th century.”
Prost Brewing crafts its Winter Lager at the Northglenn brewing headquarters on an authentische (“authentic”) Kaspar Schulz brewing system imported from Germany, blending traditional German brewing methods with modern innovations.
