Tropical Pale Ale

Posted March 15, 2016

Category: Beer News

We’re very excited to announce that a new year-round beer will be joining our lineup this spring! Inspired by our collaboration with Florida’s famed Cigar City Brewing, Tropical Pale Ale marries our love and mastery of balanced pale ales with the bright, refreshing flavors of grapefruit and passion fruit accented by juicy, citrusy hops.

Tropical Pale Ale begins with a base of soft pilsner malt layered with Maris Otter, Munich and caramel malts. Huge late hopping with a blend of Mosaic, Citra, Topaz, Calypso and Azacca lends bright flavors of mango, pear, blueberry and citrus to a pale ale featuring slightly toasted biscuit and caramel/toffee notes. Tropical Pale Ale is infused with grapefruit peel, grapefruit juice and passion fruit juice at the conclusion of the boil, resulting in a refreshing acidity and bold tropical fruit flavor and aroma. Currently available on draft with cans scheduled to be released starting in the Greater Kansas City Area on May 10th with other regions soon to follow, Tropical Pale Ale is 5.9 ABV and 45 IBU.


Deliveries of six-packs of 12 ounce cans will begin in the Greater Kansas City Area starting on May 10th with each location receiving the beer on its normal delivery day. Please note that we do not have access to our distributors' delivery schedules and will be unable to confirm when Tropical Pale Ale is available near you. If you live in an area that is currently seeing Tropical Pale Ale on draft, you'll likely see cans in the coming weeks.
