2024 is just days away and American craft brewers are addressing the new year with an intriguing roster of new beers you’re gonna want to have around.
Most Requested (San Diego, CA) – Alpine Beer, which is now owned by the Canadian cannabis producer Tilray Brands, has returned its most requested beer ever. First released in 2016, Alpine Windows Up is a piney 7.5% ABV West Coast Style IPA, built on a harmonious blending of Mosaic and Citra hops that are offset by a solid malt bill of oats and wheat.
“Alpine fans loved Windows Up, and it’s been our most requested beer since we retired it several years ago,” said Ty Gilmore, President of U.S. Beers for Tilray Beer. “Windows Up, which is a fun nod to the beer’s dank and resinous flavors, is another brilliant expression of the West Coast-style IPA that’s unmistakably Alpine. It carries the highest ABV of the Alpine lineup for those seeking bigger, more flavorful beers.”
