Hey Tennessee beer lovers—get ready to level up your fridge and taproom game because TailGate Brewery just cast a permanent spell with their newest year-round release: Wizard’s Order IPA (6% ABV). This hop-forward wizard is joining the core lineup alongside the legendary TailGate Orange Wheat, and it’s hitting draft lines and 6-packs of 12oz cans at retailers statewide right now!
This isn’t some quick conjured brew—it’s the result of over a year (some say closer to 2.5 years!) of serious R&D wizardry by the TailGate crew. They first unleashed the Wizards’ Order series as rotating experiments last year, tweaking hops, gathering feedback, and dialing in the perfect potion. The crowd went wild, so now it’s officially here to stay. Pure craft beer sorcery!
Brewed with Krush and Citra hops, barley and wheat malts, Wizard’s Order bursts with juicy vibes: think ripe mango, passionfruit, and bright fresh orange zest, all balanced on a medium body with subtle bread and caramel notes for that smooth, crushable finish. Tropical, hoppy, refreshing—it’s the IPA you’ve been wishing for!
“Through this R&D grind, we get to play mad scientist, listen to what our fans love, perfect the recipe, and drop the absolute best version possible,” says Wesley Keegan, TailGate’s founder and sole owner. “That’s how we keep the magic alive.”
Grab a pint (or a sixer) at one of TailGate’s taprooms across Tennessee—perfect spots to pair it with their scratch-made pizza. Pro tip: Wizard’s Order’s bright, hoppy kick is pure fire next to the Spicy Vodka Pizza—that vodka sauce base, mozzarella, pepperoni, ricotta dollops, and hot honey drizzle? Chef’s kiss meets hoppy heaven.
Find it now at all TailGate locations (from Nashville HQ to Chattanooga and beyond) or your local craft beer spot. Swing by, raise a glass, and toast to independent Tennessee brewing done right.
