Summer’s coming and American craft brewers are addressing things with an intriguing roster of new releases you’re gonna want to have around as things heat up.
The Right Field (Hershey, PA) – Tröegs Independent Brewing has returned a popular limited release that evolved from its experimental small-batch Scratch Series. Mercilessly dry-hopped with Citra, Mosaic and El Dorado, Tröegs Field Study is a 6.2% ABV slightly hazy IPA with bright grapefruit, mango, pear and melon notes.
“Field Study began life as Scratch #327, when we first started tinkering with some new hopping techniques,” explains Tröegs brewmaster John Trogner. “We built on those experiments over the next few Scratch releases and landed on a grain bill featuring a backbone of Rustic Pale Malt.”
“Rustic Pale malt is kilned slightly higher than most pale malts to amplify the complex cereal and slightly nutty notes,” added Trogner.

New Crush (Paso Robles, CA) – Firestone Walker Brewing has a bold new addition to its growing family of Mind Haze IPA variations and this one is unapologetically aggressive. Built around two ultra-tropical hops—Galaxy and Strata, Mind Haze Cosmic Crusher is a 9.5% ABV juicy Imperial India Pale Ale with a high-octane profile and a punchy mango and pineapple character.
“Mind Haze is one of our most celebrated beers and has become a playground where we explore our wildest ideas on where IPAs can go, allowing us to deliver world-class beers that meet the diverse taste buds of today’s drinkers,” said Brewmaster Matt Brynildson.
“The yeast does a lot of heavy lifting in this beer, bringing all this flavor and aroma to the forefront while keeping the beer in balance.”
