The seasons are changing and craft brewers are keeping things interesting with fun new beers you’re gonna want to chase down.

More Of What You Like (Boonville, CA) – Anderson Valley Brewing has a new spring addition to its Rotational IPA Series that’s everything you want out of a West Coast IPA, just more of it. Bursting with light pine, tropical fruit, citrus and apricot aromatics, Anderson Valley Double IPA is an uber-balanced 8.8% ABV West Coast-Style India Pale Ale with a gentle malt character and a pleasant hop bitterness.

“We love drinking IPAs and our brewers love making them,” said Anderson Valley Brewing President Kevin McGee. “Our Rotational IPA series is informed by our long brewing history and reflects countless beers that have been tested and vetted at our Tap Room. The Double IPA features a generous helping of hops and a full fresh profile, perfect for the arrival of warmer weather in the spring.”

Darkness Done Right (Framingham, MA) – Exhibit ‘A’ Brewing, an environmentally-conscience, awarding-winning craft brewery that sees beer as a way of bringing people together, has a popular deep dark year-round that satisfies without being too heavy.

Brewed with custom roasted malt menu from Valley Malt in Hadley, Massachusetts, Exhibit ‘A’ Briefcase Porter is a 5.4% ABV American Porter with toasted dark bread and nutty aromas, and dark chocolate and coffee notes that linger.

Available to ship DTC from their website to Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Virginia, DC, Nebraska and Pennsylvania this is a beer that you want to have around as we head into summer.

An Upside Down Year Round (Comstock Park, MI) – Perrin Brewing has a fun year-round offering that’s reminiscent of a popular pineapple cake. Brewed with wheat and lactose to create a creamy cake-like malt body that is tempered by pineapple fruit, Perrin Pineapple Upside Down IPA is an 8.5% ABV India Pale Ale with a tropical coconut finish.
