March is ON and American craft brewers are addressing things with a full slate of new beer offerings you’re gonna want to chase down.
A Giant Step (Minneapolis, MN) – Indeed Brewing has a new addition to beer lineup that’s (we’ll say it), gigantic. Bright, bitter and loaded with old school (Simco) and new school (Lotus and Idaho 7) hops, Indeed Giant for a Day is a 9% ABV West Coast Style Double IPA in cans featuring whimsical artwork by Minneapolis artist Chuck U.
“We wanted the brand and can art to lend itself to how ‘big’ of a beer was,” said Andy Kiekhafer, Creative Director, Indeed Brewing, “and evoke charm and nostalgia at the same time.”
Hazy Meets Imperial (Fort Collins, CO) – New Belgium Brewing has a new addition to its highly successful Voodoo Ranger IPA line that amps up its hazy octane without diminishing the beer’s accessibility. Already a top five selling beer for the Voodoo Ranger brand, and the highest rated for the series ever on Untappd, Voodoo Ranger Juice Force IPA is a light-bodied and amazingly approachable 9.5% ABV Hazy Imperial India Pale Ale that is brewed with Mexican orange, mango, and passion fruit.
“When the brand team asked the brewing team to deliver a highly drinkable IPA at 9.5% ABV, I knew we were in for a challenge,” said Dave Glor, Brewer and Raw Materials Specialist. “But after some initial trial and error, we delivered an absolutely fantastic powerhouse Hazy Imperial IPA that we aptly named Juice Force.”
Live, Laugh, Lime (Turlock, CA) – Dust Bowl Brewing has a new addition to its highly successful Taco Truck Series, a line of beers that already includes Taco Truck Lager and Taco Truck Amber, both introduced in 2016. Available in 12oz can six packs and 12 packs as well as draft, Dust Bowl Taco Truck Lime is a crisp and easy-drinking 4.7% ABV Mexican Lager with a hint of lime and sea salt.
“The lime variation has always been popular in our taprooms, said Don Oliver, Dust Bowl Brewmaster. “The addition of lime and sea salt creates a flavor profile that resonates with Mexican lager fans.”
