New Spring Craft Beer Variety Packs

Winter may not be 100% over but spring will soon be here. And American craft brewers are addressing the changing season with new variety packs that are making buying in bulk cool again.

Firestone Walker IPA Mixed Pack

Firestone Walker is one of the breweries out there making craft beer 12-packs that matter.  And their latest IPA Mixed Pack celebrates the Paso Robles, California-based brewery’s savvy hop-instincts in all their variations.

Pairing classics with an exclusive IPA that was developed at The Propagator, the company’s R&D brewery in Venice, this compilation offers a wonderful spectrum of India Pale Ales.

And here’s how Firestone Walker describes them…

Psychedelic Arcade (6.3% ABV) | Limited Edition

Introducing Psychedelic Arcade—a West Coast Golden Rye IPA that goes full tilt on flavor. First created at Firestone Walker’s Propagator R&D brewhouse in Venice, California, Psychedelic Arcade was leveled up for this special release. A base of 2-Row and Rye malt sets the tone with expansive textures, while a blend of Galaxy, Strata and Nectaron hops delivers mind-blowing flavors of tropical fruit, blueberry and grapefruit.

Mind Haze (6.2%)

From the coast of California comes Mind Haze, a free-spirited beer made to elevate your perceptions– juice yet balanced, hazy yet lasting, and loaded with an imaginative array of tropical hop flavors.

Union Jack (7.0%)

Huge flavor that packs a punch. This is Union Jack — an icon of the West Coast IPA style, for those who liken their beer loud and proud. Named for the British Lion who cofounded our brewery, Union Jack offers intense flavors of grapefruit, tangerine, and pine.

Hopnosis (6.7%)

Hopnosis is an innovative IPA brewed with coveted Cryo Hops pellets. We double dry hop this beer with varieties from the U.S. and New Zealand, creating an explosion of tropical fruit flavors including mango, passionfruit, white grape, and lychee.

Schlafly Hazed for Days Variety Pack

Schlafly Beer, St. Louis’ original craft brewery, has released a Hazed For Days, a canned hazy beer variety pack with three exclusive brews and a classic year-round juice bomb that’s perfect as we “spring” forward.

“This new variety pack represents the work we collectively do at Schlafly – from our beer ideation process, to our pilot system trial brews, to pub-only batches, to being part of our full distribution portfolio,” says Schlafly Head Brewer, Jared Williamson….

“All four beers traveled through our internal process before making their way into the Hazed For Days pack. Each step of the process is important, and it’s exciting to see what started out as obscure little beer ideas now all grown up and getting shipped out to all our various markets.”

And here’s how Schlafly Beer describes them…

Mighty Hazy Double IPA (ABV: 8.0%)

Our popular year-round IPA, with all its juicy hop flavor, gets turned up for a double IPA with tropical aromatics that come from new-school American hops: Strata and Idaho 7, and the classic Chinook. This creates an even bigger hop-and-haze experience for the drinker.

Lightly Hazed Lager (ABV: 4.5%)

A classic Keller Pils style brew that features Michigan-grown Grunegiest hops, which were first bred at the Hop Research Center in Hüll, Germany.

Wavy Hazy Citrus Wheat (ABV: 4.1%)

This uber-approachable wheat beer is fermented with lemon purée which really gives it a bright and tart kick that lingers.

Just A Bit Hazy IPA (ABV: 5.0%)

This IPA continues to be a top seller year-round and features a blend of Citra, Mosaic, Sabro, Amarillo, and Cascade. It’s all about the perfect blend of hops that gives this the right amount of haze, aroma, and juicy hop flavor.
