As spring approaches, American brewers are unveiling new beer selections to welcome the warmer season. Among the latest offerings are a fruit-forward Hazy IPA from Iron Hill Brewery and a bold new line of lemonade-infused Radlers from Firestone Walker.
Iron Hill Brewery Introduces Blue Skies & Sunny Haze
Exton, PA – Iron Hill Brewery, a chain of restaurant breweries with 19 locations across Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Georgia, continues to expand its craft beer lineup. Established in 1996, the brewery opened its first full-scale production facility in Exton, PA, in 2020 to meet growing demand.
Its latest retail release, Blue Skies & Sunny Haze, was developed by award-winning brewer Pete Corbett, Sr., at Iron Hill’s Newtown location. This 5.5% ABV Hazy IPA offers a refreshing, fruit-forward experience with notes of candied mango, passionfruit, and papaya.
“The popularity of hazy IPAs continues to thrive, but we’re also seeing a growing trend toward lower-ABV, easy-drinking options that still deliver on flavor,” said Mark Edelson, Founding Partner and VP of Beer at Iron Hill. “We’re excited for guests to experience Blue Skies & Sunny Haze—a refreshing, fruit-forward hoppy beer that’s light enough to enjoy all day.”
Firestone Walker Unleashes Mind Haze Rage Radlers
Paso Robles, CA – Firestone Walker Brewing Company is taking Radlers to a new level with the launch of Mind Haze Rage, a collection of high-energy, lemonade-infused beers. This innovative line includes three 8% ABV Radler-style flavors: Original Lemonade, Watermelon Lemonade, and Grapefruit Lemonade. The beers will be available in a mixed “Rad Pack” and as single 19.2-ounce cans starting this spring.
“Mind Haze Rage is an evolution of an age-old style—the Radler. Part beer, part lemonade,” said Brewmaster Matt Brynildson. “As brewers, we’re curious tinkerers, committed to exploring where beer can go next. Mind Haze Rage is our latest result in this pursuit, and we’re thrilled to share it with the world.”
Chief Marketing Officer Dustin Hinz described the new release as “fun, disruptive, and crafted for flavor seekers,” adding, “This isn’t your grandma’s hard lemonade—it’s a bold new twist on beer.”
With these innovative new offerings, Iron Hill and Firestone Walker are setting the tone for a fresh and flavorful spring in the craft beer scene.
