Holland, MI – New Holland Brewing Co., the team behind the iconic Dragon’s Milk series, announces the release of Dragon’s Milk Emerald IPA, the first India Pale Ale to join the Dragon’s Milk family. Developed over two years, Emerald IPA is a hop-focused creation that stays true to the core values that have defined Dragon’s Milk for more than two decades: bold character, layered flavor, and a deep respect for time, oak, and craft.
Fermented entirely in large oak foeders, Emerald IPA develops natural vanilla, soft oak, and a round body from the start. This sets it apart from beers that are only barrel aged. Brewed with Lotus hops, it delivers bright citrus, floral lift, and gentle spice for a refreshing and complex finish.
“This beer is the natural result of our ongoing curiosity around what wood can do,” said Brett VanderKamp, Founder of New Holland Brewing Co. “We have always explored how time and oak shape flavor, and this time we applied that philosophy to hops. Emerald IPA is a new direction, but it carries the same spirit that defines every Dragon’s Milk release.”

Lotus hops bring notes of orange blossom, subtle spice, and a floral character that enhances the smooth, oak-kissed profile of the beer. Medium-bodied and expressive, Emerald IPA offers a distinctive take on the style while staying grounded in the Dragon’s Milk tradition.
Emerald IPA is now available on draft at New Holland Brewing Co.’s brewpubs in Holland and Grand Rapids, Michigan. It will also be distributed in select markets, including California, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Connecticut.

First brewed in 2001, Dragon’s Milk began as a singular bourbon barrel aged stout and has grown into one of the most recognized barrel aged beer brands in the country. Each release continues the tradition of crafting beers with purpose and patience. Emerald IPA represents a new chapter in the Dragon’s Milk legacy. It is a vibrant and complex expression built on the same foundation of care, creativity, and barrel character.

Ben Affleck Has A Big, Fat, Stupid Mouth IPA: A Beer with a Bold Name and Bolder Flavor

Ben Affleck Has A Big, Fat, Stupid Mouth: A Beer with a Bold Name and Bolder Flavor

In the world of craft beer, where names often lean into the quirky or provocative, Printer’s Ale Manufacturing Co. out of Carrollton, Georgia, has raised the bar with their New England IPA, Ben Affleck Has A Big, Fat, Stupid Mouth. This beer, a draft-only offering in the Atlanta market, isn’t just a catchy name—it’s a juicy, hazy triumph that delivers on flavor while poking playful fun at Hollywood’s ever-polarizing Ben Affleck.

The Beer Behind the Name
Let’s get one thing straight: Printer’s Ale isn’t throwing shade at Affleck out of malice. As they’ve stated, they don’t hate the guy—they just found his casting as Batman a bit… questionable, and his on-screen mouth a tad distracting. The name is a tongue-in-cheek nod to Affleck’s larger-than-life persona, and the beer itself is anything but a gimmick. With a 7.1% ABV and a rating of 4.1 out of 5 from 134 reviews on Untappd, this IPA has won over craft beer fans with its bold profile and smooth execution.

Ben Affleck Has A Big, Fat, Stupid Mouth is a New England-style IPA, known for its hazy appearance, juicy fruit flavors, and soft mouthfeel. Brewed with Citra, Galaxy, and Newzill hops, it bursts with tropical notes—think mango, pineapple, and citrus zest—balanced by a subtle bitterness that keeps it refreshing. Unlike some NEIPAs, this one skips the lactose, letting the hops shine without a creamy heft. The result is a medium-bodied beer that’s smooth yet punchy, living up to its description as “a big, fat, juicy beer that is ready to win you over with all the haze and mystery.”

A Hero No One Asked For, But Everyone Deserves
Printer’s Ale markets this beer as “the hero no one asked for but the beer everyone deserves,” and it’s easy to see why. It’s not just about the name’s irreverence; it’s about crafting a beer that stands out in a crowded IPA landscape. The brewery’s Instagram showcases the beer’s vibrant, cloudy pour, often served at local spots like The Nest Kennesaw, Westside Motor Lounge, and Mellow Mushroom, where fans have praised its drinkability and bold hop character.

Reviews on Untappd highlight its appeal. One drinker, Valerie Mueller, called it “excellent” and one of her favorites, while others have earned “Haze for Days” badges for sipping this cloudy delight. Posts from late 2023 show it pouring at various Atlanta-area taprooms, with fans snapping photos of its golden haze and raving about its juicy profile.

The Affleck Connection: Why the Name?
The name Ben Affleck Has A Big, Fat, Stupid Mouth stems from Printer’s Ale’s cheeky take on Affleck’s Batman role, particularly in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. They’ve noted his “freakin’ huge” mouth as a visual quirk, but the beer isn’t a roast—it’s a celebration of fun, bold choices, much like Affleck’s own career. From Oscar-winning screenwriter (Good Will Hunting) to polarizing superhero, Affleck’s journey mirrors the beer’s audacity: it’s unapologetic, divisive, and undeniably memorable.

The brewery’s lighthearted jab also taps into a cultural moment. Affleck has long been meme fodder, from “Sad Affleck” videos to paparazzi shots of him smoking or spilling Dunkin’ coffee. Yet, he’s also been open about his struggles with addiction and fame, earning empathy from many. This beer, in a way, captures that duality—mocking the Hollywood caricature while offering something genuinely enjoyable to sip on.

Where to Find It
Available exclusively on draft in Atlanta and surrounding areas, Ben Affleck Has A Big, Fat, Stupid Mouth is distributed through Atlanta Beverage in Georgia. Check Printer’s Ale’s Instagram (@printersbeer) for updates on where it’s pouring next. Popular spots include Printer’s Ale’s own taproom, IPPS, and La Trattoria: A Classic Italian Kitchen, where it’s been a hit with locals.

Final Sip
Printer’s Ale has crafted more than just a beer with a headline-grabbing name. Ben Affleck Has A Big, Fat, Stupid Mouth is a well-executed NEIPA that balances humor with quality. It’s a reminder that craft beer can be playful without sacrificing substance, much like a good Affleck flick—love him or hate him, you can’t look away. So, grab a pint, raise a glass to bold choices, and enjoy this hazy hero that’s as juicy as the gossip it’s named for.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Genesee Brewery recently announced that it has invented a new season, a New Yorker’s perfect season, sum-all. Sum-all is the season between August and October where New Yorkers beg for sweater weather while savoring the last days of summer. And in true Genesee fashion, brewery officials announced the first official sum-all beer: Genesee Black Cherry Vanilla Kellerbier! Black Cherry Vanilla Kellerbier will be available later this week in 12-packs of 12-ounce cans and on draft at select locations.

It’s Officially Sum-all Starting August 1

Genesee is leaning into its tradition of releasing seasonal beers before you can even flip your calendar by crafting the new, official sum-all season.

“Sum-all is all about celebrating the best of both seasons and embracing the juxtaposition this time of year offers. Fall beer in August? Makes sense to Genesee! Flannel swim trunks? You got it. Maple hot dogs? Well, you decide… Genesee is all about giving the people what they want,” said Benning. “And while we don’t control the weather or the thermostat, Genesee can offer liquid relief, no matter the season!”

Censored Munky Launches Inaugural Beer in Partnership With White Lion Brewery

by

CHICOPEE, Massachusettes— Censored Munky Brewing Company announces the launch of its inaugural beer “Freee Speeech!!!”. Based in Chicopee, Censored Munky is in partnership with White Lion Brewing Company out of Springfield to contract brew and distribute the inaugural beer, with forthcoming plans for Censored Munky to have a brewing operation and tasting room in Chicopee, an effort that will employ 3-5 people initially.

Two of the founders have over 100 years of family roots in Chicopee. “There was no better place to start our company than in Chicopee, where there is a working-class culture, and our French/Irish family roots are from the area. This all speaks to our passion for great beer, to have fun, and to have lively conversations”, says Rick Roque, area investment banker and Co-Founder.

Freee Speeech!!! is an American IPA that has a mild hop profile with hints of tropical fruit and citrus that is smooth and clear. Censored Munky pairs its beer with design concepts to illustrate political satire in this heavily politicized climate. The company intends to launch an assortment of beers to make fun of political parties, elected officials, conspiracies, and anything else the Munky desires.

“We made Freee Speeech!!! our flagship beer and first design because of the importance of the First Amendment”, says John Phillips, Chicopee resident, Chief Munky and Co-Founder. “It was a revolutionary concept and freedom that was won in the days of old. It took power away from those who controlled information. We should always strive for truth, dialogue, and laughter”.

Tommy Reynolds, Co-Founder, states “Our t-shirts, merchandise, can designs and messaging bring a fresh perspective on the world we live in with humor, wit, sarcasm and satire. By combining visual aids, a paired unique taste, and a thirst for laughter, we aim to bring people together via a shared vision; we realized censorship sucks.”

Freee Speeech!!! will be available at liquor stores, bars, and restaurants across Massachusetts starting April 20, 2024. It will be on tap at White Lion Brewing Company in both Springfield MA and Amherst MA, and at Massie’s American Bistro in Chicopee MA beginning on April 20th.

Roadhouse Brewing Announces Debut of Plasma Hazy IPA

by

JACKSON HOLE, Wyoming — Roadhouse Brewing is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Plasma, an innovative Hazy IPA pushing the boundaries of dankness and flavor. This 6.9% ABV brew promises an unforgettable experience for hop lovers.

Plasma’s creation involved venturing into uncharted territory, utilizing a combination of brand-new hop varieties and cutting-edge hop products. Elani, Pink and HBC 1019 hops take center stage, bursting with tropical flavors of guava, watermelon, citrus and stone fruit, complemented by subtle notes of dank herb. Salvo and Spectrum hop extracts further intensify the dry hop character without introducing bitterness, resulting in a pungently aromatic yet incredibly drinkable brew.

Notes Brewmaster Max Shafer, “For fans of our cult-favorite, The Walrus Hazy IPA (8.3% ABV), look for a similarly velvety IPA with fruit notes coming from some exciting new hops vs fresh fruit this time, and a slightly lower ABV for even easier drinkability.”

Plasma is one of the many new can designs Roadhouse is rolling out across the brand this year. What started as a ‘superdelic’ one-off label designed by co-founder Colby Cox alongside Matt Taylor, a Grammy-award-winning artist for one of his Red Hot Chili Peppers album designs, has evolved into a new look for the homegrown brand, echoing a love for music, the outdoors and its independent spirit through a cosmic, psychedelic feel, that still nods to its roots.

“The underlying ethos and guiding vision behind the Roadhouse brand has always been informed by music and the psychedelic experience. The original lineup paid tribute to that more subtly because we liked the idea of leaving a trail of bread crumbs,” says Colby Cox, owner and CEO of Pure Madness Brewery Group, Roadhouse’s parent company since acquiring Melvin Brewing in 2022. “If you get, you get it- type thing. We want to make a bolder statement with the changes to the core lineup. I want to more overtly recognize that a lot of who I am, who we are, is due to altered states of consciousness. Our creativity and innovation – it would be impossible to say we aren’t trying to touch the void. After all, we are just a “merry band of pranksters,” and it’s all about going Furthur.”

About Roadhouse Brewing Co.

Built upon its two founders’ unique backgrounds as an award-winning home brewer and noted restaurateurs, Roadhouse Brewing Company draws inspiration from the culinary and craft worlds, its home base in the iconic mountain town of Jackson Hole, and its independent spirit – making the brewing facilities a daily hub for innovation and collaboration. Roadhouse was awardedBest for the World™ B Corporation, ranking in the top 5% of all B Corps in its size group worldwide for sustainable business practices.

Chatham Brewing Releases Nectaron of the Gods Double IPA in Cans

by

CHATHAM, N.Y.— Chatham Brewing, Columbia County’s first brewery in New York’s upper Hudson Valley, has released Nectaron of the Gods Double IPA, featuring Nectaron and Motueka, two southern hemisphere hops. This release, available in a four-pack of 16 oz. cans, will be released this week to the public.

This Double IPA is a welcome addition to the brewery’s long list of easy-to-drink beers that Chatham Brewing has to offer, even with an 8.5 percent ABV.

The combination of New Zealand’s hops Nectaron and Motueka provides rich tasting notes with vibrant yet subtle tropical fruit character, a refreshing aroma, and a zesty finish that will make the winter months even more special. This mixture led to the naming of the drink, which was crafted with the thought of it as “a drink of deities.” The nuances reveal themselves with every new pint you drink.

“When we first introduced Nectaron of the Gods to our customers, they fell in love with its unique hop character and smooth mouthfeel,” said Tom Crowell, co-owner of Chatham Brewing. “It’s afull-bodied DIPA to be sure, but it has a lot of juicy fruit flavors. The beer definitely earned its name! Nectar is a drink for the gods, so it seems like a good idea with the prominent Nectaron hops.”

First previewed on draft in the brewery’s tasting room back in the fall of 2023, the cans can now be found at bars, restaurants, retailers, and the taproom.

For more information on Chatham Brewing, visit ChathamBrewing.com, on Facebook and Instagram or Chatham Brewing’s taproom in Columbia County, which offers a wide collection of year-round and seasonal craft beers and seltzers to enjoy both in-person or to take home with.
