2024 is ON and American craft brewers are addressing the new year with an exciting roster of beers you’re gonna want to have around.

A Craft Classic Returns (Hershey, PA) – Just in time to fight the winter doldrums and post-holiday blues, Tröegs is returning a beer that like Troegenator and Mad Elf, helped put the Pennsylvania brewery on the map. And when it debuted back in 2004, there was absolutely nothing else like it.

Abundantly hopped with “fresh-off-the-bine” Nugget hops from the brewery’s annual hop curation trek to Yakima, WA, Tröegs Nugget Nectar is a 7.5% ABV Imperial Amber Ale with hints of ripe mango and dreamsicle that is balanced with enough kilned malt to add body and a touch of sweetness.

This beer is what it is because of careful attention to the annual harvest options.”

The Summit Sága Continues (St Paul, MN) – Summit Brewing has a new addition to it’s Sága IPA Series that is currently available as part of the brewery’s Sága Goddess Series Variety Pack.

Crafted with a smart blend of Centennial, Amarillo, and Bravo hops, which lend a unique & mildly sweet profile to the brew, Sága Tropical IPA is a light-bodied 4.6% ABV India Pale Ale with subtle passion fruit and peach tones that give way to a smooth, hoppy bitterness and a long, dry, mildly tart finish.

“We are excited to release our first Sága Goddess Series variety pack and introduce Sága Tropical IPA as the fourth IPA style in the line-up.” says CEO Brandon Bland. “Through this variety pack, we will be able to focus on introducing the Sága brand to new Summit drinkers, and continue to provide Sága loyalists with the same great brand they have come to know and love.”

Bold & Hoppy (Naperville, IL) – With more craft breweries than ever before, brewing serious non-alcoholic beer, ACB is expanding our coverage to include new NA beers that matter. And Go Brewing has a Double West Coast-Style India Pale Ale that goes BIG. Described as the Chicagoland brewery’s “boldest beer yet,” Go Not Just Another Story IPA doubles down on flavor and never looks back. If you like hops and beers with character this one is for you.
