Winter is ON. And American craft brewers are addressing the season with a full slate of brews you’re gonna want have around.
Up To New Tricks (San Diego, CA) – AleSmith Brewing is debuting a new year-round addition to its portfolio in 2022. Brewed with massive amounts of Strata, El Dorado and Citra hops, AleSmith Party Tricks is a 6.8% ABV West Coast-Style IPA with invigorating aromatics and bright grapefruit, strawberry, and passion fruit notes.
“Party Tricks is the first release of three beers that will be available in 16 oz. 6-packs,” said Brandon Richards, President of AleSmith. “We’re thrilled to kick off 2022 with an IPA that showcases the new format along with a fun and dynamic marketing campaign.”

Jack’s Back (Venice, CA) – One of Firestone Walker’s most legendary beers which won a Gold medal in the GABF’s American-Style Black Ale category in 2020, is back. This time as a small batch limited release produced by its Propagator pilot brewhouse in Venice, California.
A unique twist on the Cascadian Dark Ale style, Firestone Walker Propagator Series Wookey Jack is award-winning 8.3% ABV Black Rye IPA that’s perfect for long winter nights and worthy of revisiting.
Serious Beer From The N/A Corner (Campbell, CA) – Non-Alcoholic beers have come a long way in the craft beer sector. And there’s a brewery in Northern California, Surreal Brewing, which makes a very convincing Porter, not a style one normally associates with non-alcoholic beers. With only 50 calories, no sugar and minimal carbs, Surreal 17 Mile Porter is buzz-free dark ale with bold dark chocolate and coffee notes and earthy hop textures.
