New Belgium Brewing Reveals New Beer To Welcome In 2017

New-Belgium-Brewing

To mix up its product offerings a bit after celebrating its 25th year in business during 2016, New Belgium Brewing is excited to announce four new year-round releases to ring in the new year of 2017. These four new beers include Dayblazer Easygoing Ale, Citradelic Exotic Lime Ale, Tartastic Lemon Ginger Sour and Voodoo Ranger 8 Hop Ale.

Of these four new offerings, the Voodoo Ranger 8 Hop Ale is the first release in a new line of hop forward beers under the Voodoo Ranger umbrellas of IPAs. Two long standing IPAs will evolve into this new line that includes Ranger IPA changing into Voodoo Ranger IPA and Rampant Imperial IPA into Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA. Then Blue Paddle Pilsener will morph into New Belgium Bohemian Pilsener.

With these new offerings comes news of the demise of a few varieties that have been in the marketplace for a few years. These three offerings that will be discontinued are Snapshot Wheat, Slow Ride Session IPA and Shift Pale Lager. The other change that will take place is that Sunshine Wheat will have a label change showing of the Colorado State Flag to signify its roots.

“This is our most ambitious portfolio reimagining since our beginnings,” said New Belgium Brewing spokesperson, Bryan Simpson in a news release. “We’ve got a lot of excitement, momentum, and energy coming out of the pilot system and that makes for a bounty of great beers with interesting twists. We are very much back into experimentation and risk taking and that is hugely energizing for the whole brewery. 2017 is shaping up to be an awesome year for drinking beer.”

Here’s a list of beers that will be hitting the market place now through January 2017 with descriptions provided by New Belgium Brewing.
