March is ON and American craft brewers are addressing things with exciting new beers you’re gonna want to have around.

Switchback Brewing Releases Two Classics In 16oz Cans (Burlington, VT) – Switchback Brewing Co., home to Vermont’s iconic Switchback Ale has released two classics in 16oz cans for the first time. Unfiltered and 100% naturally carbonated, Karsten Premium Lager is a 5.1% ABV year-round which is lagered a gracious 6-weeks to ensure the ultimate in clean, crisp taste.

The second beer ever released by the Vermont brewery, Switchback Roasted Red Ale is a 5.6% ABV deep mahogany seasonal release with a rich caramel maltiness balanced with a bold hop signature, and delicate cocoa roasted finish.

“With the recent addition of a new high speed labeler, the brewery now can create out-of-the-box labels that truly fit the personality of each beer,” says Brewery Founder and Brewmaster, Bill Cherry. “The new equipment eliminates color and print limitations of mass-produced pre-printed cans which we used to have to order by the truckload.”
