On Deck: Seasonal Craft Beers Released This Spring
These craft beers will be hitting the streets in the months of March, April and May.
Alaskan Hop Turn IPA
Our Hop Turn IPA takes its inspiration from Europe — using Old World hops and malts for a radical take on the West Coast IPA. (see more)
Badger Hill White IPA
April
Our take on the White IPA is a hoppy Belgian Wit beer with Orange Zest and Coriander. Unfiltered, this beer pours pale white, with a solid head. Citrus notes abound with a clean bitterness and a citrus, slightly tart finish.
First introduced in the summer of 2013 as the inaugural beer in our limited release Wanderlust series, we liked it so much we decided to bring it back as a summer seasonal! (more)
Empyrean Super Nova Summer Fest
April
Easy drinking with hints of sweet corn, bread and caramel, this beer finishes with a blast of citrus hop and just enough crisp to balance the sweet. It’s a toast to rolling surf, Baja hoodies, beach BBQs and the elusive green flash. Pairs with summer’s grilled foods like BBQ chicken, beef or fish. Also great with cinnamon or caramel desserts.

Goose Island Summtime Kolsch
May
Kolsch, the clean and refreshing beer style of Cologne, Germany, quenches summertime thirst. This pale golden ale with a lightly fruity aroma is cold-conditioned or lagered after its primary fermentation. More simply, our Summertime uses only the finest malts and German hops to create the perfect beer for hot Summer days and warm Summer nights. (more)

North Loop Duo
March
DUO’s the double-hopped sledgehammer from the North that is far from Minnesota Nice! We’ve loaded this with Simcoe, Citra, Falconer’s Flight and Chinook hops to give you sky-high IBUs! Each face-slapping sip pounds your palate and breaks down your hoppy beer boundaries. (more)
North Loop Silo
April
Ah Saison! The refreshing beer celebrating the best season of the year! SILO’s name is a tip of the hat to Belgium farmers who invented this zesty brew. With its light body and effervescent carbonation, SILO is the perfect brew after a long day working in the fields or strolling through your local farmer’s market! (more)
Odell St. Lupulin
May
A mystical legend echoes in our brew house—that of St. Lupulin (loop-you-lin), the archetypal hophead. He devoted endless summers to endless rows of hops, tending to the flowers and the beloved resin within—lupulin. Extraordinary oils in this yellow resin provide this dry-hopped extra pale ale with an undeniably pleasing floral aroma and clean, crisp finish. One sip of this seasonal summer ale and you too will believe. (more)
Odell Tree Shaker
May
Colorado’s Western Slope is home to some of the world’s juiciest, most delicious peaches. So we brewed Tree Shaker with 3,000 pounds of them. Who knows, the bright citrus hop character and subtle fruity sweetness in this Imperial IPA might just get you shaking a few trees yourself. (more)
Oskar Blues Gubna
May
Each year GUBNA is reinvented with a new hop bill. Concurrent hop selection panels at both the Colorado and North Carolina breweries picked some of the season’s highest quality and most exciting hops to load up this formidable and complex Imperial IPA. Brewed with whole-leaf Galena hops, our brewers then add Columbus and Sorachi Ace to GUBNA 5.0, which spikes the beer with spicy, blackcurrant notes and subtle citrus overtones. GUBNA is dry-hopped with prodigious amounts of El Dorado, Comet, and Chinook hops, creating a dank, dense, pineapple & lemon zest nose and unique blend of grapefruit, apricot, and herbs, while finishing clean and bitter. The GUB sits on a base of Rye, North American Pale, and Munich malts, which offers a smooth and flavorful backbone to support the gargantuan load of hops. (more)
Shock Top Lemon Shandy
April
Our Lemon Shandy is made with real California lemon peels to deliver a bright and unmistakably Shock Top taste. Brewed with two row and six row malted barley and five different types of hops, this Belgian-Style Wheat Ale is then combined with real citrus peels, coriander, natural lemonade flavor and a hint of sugar for a subtle sweetness. The end result of our Lemon Shandy is an incredibly refreshing, crisp and smooth beer that hits the spot. (more)
Summit Summer Ale
May
This highly drinkable session beer is made for sunny days and long nights. With a crisp, clean bitterness appealing to casual and serious beer drinkers alike. The refreshing fruity and floral hop aroma is a pleasant reminder to savor the season while you can. (more)
