Saucy Brew Works Brings Back Viral Stealing Signs Beer

by

Cleveland, OH – Saucy Brew Works (Saucy) is rolling out its wildly popular Stealing Signs beer, known as
a playful nod to last year’s Michigan football sign-stealing scandal. The local brewery created Stealing Signs as a fun way to rally
Buckeye fans for the big rivalry game and the beer buzz swept the Internet. Saucy released the beer prior to the game where it
sold out in less than an hour across their five locations statewide. Now it’s making a limited comeback with an advantage – fans
can now pre-order the beer to ensure they don’t miss out on this unique brew!

Stealing Signs is a Double Dry-Hopped Hazy Pale Ale crafted to deliver bursts of juicy, tropical flavors with a hazy finish.
Clocking in at 6.5% ABV, this beer balances smooth drinkability with hop-forward notes, making it the ultimate game-day
beverage. It will be sold in 16 oz. 4-packs and can only be found at Saucy Brew Works locations and Urban Meyer’s Pint House.
“We couldn’t believe the overwhelming hype of the beer and how fast it flew off the shelves,” says Amanda Kantor, Marketing
Manager of Saucy Brew Works. “The fans wanted it to come back, so we’re excited to share one final release and enjoy it over a
Buckeye win!”

The beer is currently available for pre-order on the Saucy Brew Works website under their shop and local beer page. Fans can
purchase up to six 4-packs during pre-order now through Tuesday, November 19th. Saucy will release the beer via pre-order and
to the public on Saturday, November 23rd at 11:00 AM. It can be selected for pre-order at their flagship brewery in Cleveland
(Ohio City), Saucy Brew Works Columbus (Harrison West), or Urban Meyer’s Pint House (Dublin). Saucy also plans to release the
beer at their additional taprooms at Pinecrest and Sandusky on the 23rd, while supplies last.

missing out again. For more details or to place an order, visit: PRE-ORDER: STEALING SIGNS – Saucy Brew Works and follow

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.

by

MUNSTER, Indiana— Three Floyds Brewing, known for their boundary-pushing craft beers, have launched Turbo Reaper – the brewery’s inaugural year-round West Coast IPA offering. The medium-bodied 7% ABV brew features tropical and citrus hop flavors with a moderate bitterness and notes of pineapple, grapefruit, and mango.

The newest brew will be available in 6-packs of 12oz cans and draft. The black packaging with bright pink accents features art by Matt Stikker and falls in line with Three Floyds’ “Not Normal” ethos. Turbo Reaper will also be featured in Three Floyds’ next variety pack, which includes three core brews and one rotating beer exclusive to the 12-pack.

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.

Bent Water Brewing Announces New 12 Packs of Three Flagship Beers

by

LYNN, Massachusetts— Bent Water Brewing Company, the award-winning craft brewery from Lynn, Massachusetts, announced the release of brand new 12 packs of three of their best-selling flagship beers. With a big football weekend on the horizon, the timing for many is ideal.

“The last game of the football season is right around the corner, and for most people that means a big party with friends, family, food – and beer,” commented Drew Yeager, Head Brewer and COO of Bent Water Brewing. “So timing-wise this release couldn’t be better, but ultimately this is the culmination of something we’ve discussed and planned for over two years. It’s awesome to see it come to fruition.”

Twelve packs of 12 oz. cans of Thunder Funk IPA, Premium Lager, and the most recent entry to the Bent Water flagship portfolio, The Shaka West Coast Style Pale Ale, have already started appearing on shelves and store floors and will continue to pop up throughout the Greater Boston/North Shore area of Massachusetts in the coming weeks.

While no plans currently exist to extend the 12 pack presence deeper into one of the brewery’s eight additional distribution territories, the decision is not off the table.

“We’ve seen consumers all over the country gravitate towards buying their favorites in larger quantities and based on the occasion, looking for 12 oz. cans, as well,” continued Yeager. “It’s still fairly rare in the craft beer market for a brewery with our production capacity to balance limited offerings with something at this scale, but we always try to stay ahead of the curve.”

Hi-Wire Brewing Rolls Out Hazy Pitch IPA and Unveils More Fresh Releases for 2024

by

ASHEVILLE, N.C.— North Carolina-based Hi-Wire Brewing is shaking things up again with the introduction of its latest family member, Hazy Pitch IPA, to a lineup that’s already bursting with character. Not stopping there, 2024 is set to be a year of exhilarating updates for the Asheville brewery, including a refreshing twist on a fan favorite and the debut of two new 12-packs that are anything but ordinary.

A Big Hazy Joins the ‘Pitch’ Family

Hazy Pitch IPA, a bodacious New England-style IPA, promises to shake up the family tree with a hefty 7.2% ABV. This haze-craze newcomer is joining Hi-Wire’s beloved ‘Pitch Family’ in 6-packs of big 16-ounce cans, making its grand entrance in mid-March. The Pitch Family brings together the gamut of IPAs – from Hi-Wire’s most popular beer, the West-Coast Style Hi-Pitch Mosaic (6.7% ABV), to the easy-drinking Lo-Pitch Hazy (5.5% ABV) to the seriously hopped Double Hi-Pitch (9% ABV).

Bryna Frosaker, co-owner of Hi-Wire Brewing, shared the inspiration behind this vibrant addition to the brewery’s flagship selection, “Though we’ve played in the hazy IPA space for years… Hazy Pitch is our latest and greatest adventure, and we’re thrilled to add it to our core year-round lineup.”

By meticulously layering juicy American hops post-fermentation, Hi-Wire has harnessed a symphony of tropical punch, chewy pineapple, and bright citrus hop flavors, creating a very unique hazy IPA. Hazy Pitch receives over twice as many hops in the dry hop stage compared to Lo-Pitch creating a bigger, hazier IPA to round out the beloved family.

Mountain Water Gets a Peachy Update

Fan-favorite Mountain Water Easy Drinking Ale is welcoming a new flavor to its ranks – Pomegranate Peach (4.5% ABV). After a successful taste test across Hi-Wire Brewing’s eleven taproom locations, this stone fruit and sweet-tart sensation that pours bright pink is set to replace the original Citrus Splash flavor. Brian Laggis, Director of Sales at Hi-Wire, commented, “After many rave reviews, it was clear that Pomegranate Peach was our winner. We’re excited for fans of Mountain Water to try this refreshing new twist.”

Vibrant and slightly tangy notes of ripe pomegranates are complemented by the juicy essence of peaches in this Southern-inspired concoction that’s made like a beer but drinks like a seltzer. Hank Marshall, Hi-Wire’s Head Brewer, highlighted its unique qualities, noting, “We wanted to capture the natural sweetness of these fruits while ensuring that the overall flavor was not too sweet with a slightly tart finish that provides the perfect balance.”

Mix it Up with Big 12-Packs

For those who love a bit of everything, Hi-Wire is also rolling out two new 12-packs of 16-ounce cans – Rad-Mobile and Pitch Pack. Rad-Mobile unites Hi-Pitch Mosaic IPA, Lo-Pitch Hazy IPA, Mountain Water Pomegranate Peach, and Leisure Time Lager into one big, convenient box, while Pitch Pack brings together the entire Pitch Family for a hoppy reunion.

Whether it’s for sampling, entertaining, or simply stocking up, bigger cans mean more to love, and these 12-packs promise variety and fun in every sip. “When we converted to 16-ounce cans, we doubled down to offer 12-packs exclusively with big cans too, which was unheard of at the time for craft beer,” Frosaker added, highlighting the significance of these offerings in the market.

New Branding for Old Favorites

As we stride into 2024, Hi-Wire Brewing is also giving a fresh twist to its core beer artwork, adding a dash of nostalgic flair to the brewery’s already eye-catching cans. Look for updated packaging on the ‘Pitch Family’ and Hi-Wire Lager over the coming months.

“We will continue to push boundaries, trying new methods and new products, in a calculated and intentional way,” Marshall affirmed, promising the brewery’s ethos of quality and innovation remains steadfast. “In this time of change for craft beer, innovation will define success,” Frosaker reflects.

All releases will be available at Hi-Wire’s eleven taproom locations and across nine states of distribution, including North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Ohio, Kentucky, Alabama, Virginia, and Indiana.
