New year-round American IPA balances hop-forward flavor with easy drinkability—available on draft and in 6-pack 12oz cans across NY, CT, PA & NJ

PATCHOGUE, NewYork., May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Blue Point Brewing, a Long Island craft brewery and brand by Tilray Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY and TSX: TLRY), is launching a new year-round offering, Magic Hour IPA. The beer delivers bursts of bright and tropical hops, striking the perfect balance of flavor and drinkability. The new IPA comes in with 6% ABV and is designed as the perfect pairing for enjoying golden hour and unwinding at the end of the day.

Blue Point is known for delicious lagers and ales, like the brewery’s fan-favorite Toasted Lager, so the addition of an easy drinking, year-round IPA perfectly rounds out the brand’s offering, ensuring that any beer drinker can find something tailored to their tastes.

Magic Hour delivers the aroma and hop character that IPA lovers look for, while remaining approachable and easy going. By carefully monitoring pH levels during the brewing process, hop burn is minimized, giving the beer a quick, dry finish that keeps you coming back for more. The brew is made with Citra, Nectaron, and Anchovy hops which provide a tropical and refreshing taste, ideal for happy hours, sipping during sunset on a laid-back summer night or year-round enjoyment. Magic Hour IPA is available on tap and in 6 pack 12oz cans in taprooms, groceries, convenience stores and more across NY, CT, PA, and NJ.

“We brewed Magic Hour to deliver everything IPA fans crave – bright, tropical hop character and a clean, easy finish without sacrificing drinkability,” said Chris DiOrio, Senior Brand Manager of Blue Point Brewing. “It’s the kind of beer you reach for when the sun’s going down, and an approachable gateway for new IPA drinkers, too.”
