WeldWerks PB&J Sour Ale Returning To 16-oz Cans

WeldWerks PB&J Sour Ale

WeldWerks Brewing is bringing back another fun, fruit-forward sour ale, and this one takes its inspiration from a pretty familiar lunchtime combination. The returning WeldWerks PB&J Sour Ale is getting a fresh look in 16-ounce cans, with Greeley, Colorado’s WeldWerks Brewing Company sticking with the strawberry, raspberry, and peanut butter flavor combination that gives this beer its name. At 4.6% ABV, PB&J is also keeping things firmly in sessionable territory, which makes sense for a fruited sour ale built around a nostalgic flavor combination rather than a massive, high-alcohol specialty release.

There is something immediately recognizable about peanut butter and jelly, and WeldWerks is taking that familiar pairing into craft beer territory with a sour ale that combines fruit puree, peanut flavor, and milk sugar. Strawberry and raspberry puree bring the fruit component, while the peanut flavor is there to give the beer that recognizable peanut butter character. Milk sugar adds another element to the recipe, helping round out what could otherwise become a sharply tart fruit beer. A little childhood nostalgia, but definitely a grown-up beer.

A familiar sandwich. A very different can.

The new WeldWerks PB&J Sour Ale packaging makes the concept pretty hard to miss, with an oversized PB&J logo, illustrated peanut butter jars and jelly jars, and a bright pink and orange design that looks more like a playful piece of candy packaging than a traditional sour ale label. The artwork even gives the peanut butter and jelly jars little legs and lets them walk across the can, while the surrounding graphics carry the same colorful, slightly ridiculous personality that fits the beer’s flavor concept.

The front label identifies the beer as a sour ale with strawberry and raspberry puree, peanut flavor, and milk sugar. The packaging also carries the brewery’s familiar Dialed-In Beer message, along with a Keep Cold, Drink Now reminder. This is a 16-ounce, one-pint can, giving fans the standard large-format package that has become common for WeldWerks’ specialty sour ales and other creative releases.

At 4.6% ABV, WeldWerks PB&J Sour Ale should appeal to drinkers looking for a flavorful sour beer without moving into the stronger imperial sour category. The alcohol level is moderate, but the ingredient combination gives the beer a lot to work with, particularly for people who enjoy fruit-forward craft beer, dessert-inspired sour ales, and unconventional flavor combinations.

The strawberry and raspberry combination is an interesting choice because it gives WeldWerks two fruit components instead of relying on strawberry alone. Raspberry can bring a sharper fruit character, while strawberry provides the familiar jelly side of the equation. Peanut flavor then gives the beer its PB&J identity, and the milk sugar brings another layer of sweetness and body to the overall recipe.

There is also an important label detail worth mentioning for anyone with food sensitivities. The can specifically identifies peanuts, wheat, and lactose in its allergen disclosure, so this is not a beer that should be treated as a standard fruit-only sour ale. Those ingredients are part of the product information and worth checking before picking up a can.

WeldWerks has developed a strong reputation for experimenting with fruit-forward sour ales, dessert-inspired beers, hazy IPAs, and specialty releases, and PB&J fits comfortably into that creative approach. The brewery has already explored combinations involving cotton candy, watermelon, mango, strawberry, and other flavor inspirations, so a peanut butter and jelly sour ale feels like a natural addition to that lineup.

For now, the big news is the returning WeldWerks PB&J Sour Ale and its latest 16-ounce can packaging. The beer checks in at 4.6% ABV and features strawberry and raspberry puree, peanut flavor, and milk sugar. WeldWerks is keeping the flavor concept recognizable, the alcohol level approachable, and the packaging colorful enough to stand out in a crowded craft beer cooler.

About WeldWerks Brewing Co.

WeldWerks Brewing Co. is an award-winning, independently owned craft brewery based in Greeley, Colorado, that has developed a national following for its creative beer releases, innovative brewing techniques, and commitment to producing distinctive craft beer. Established in 2015, WeldWerks has become one of Colorado’s better-known independent breweries, earning recognition for its hazy IPAs, fruited sour ales, pastry-inspired stouts, barrel-aged beers, and constantly evolving specialty releases.

The story of WeldWerks began before the brewery officially opened its doors. Co-founder and head brewer Neil Fisher started homebrewing with friends in 2009, developing recipes and experimenting with different beer styles in his garage. What began as a small group of homebrewing enthusiasts gradually grew into a much bigger idea, with friends gathering regularly to brew, learn, share recipes, and explore the possibilities of independent craft beer.

A turning point came in 2014 at the Big Beers, Belgians and Barleywines festival in Vail, Colorado. Fisher had agreed to consider opening a brewery if he could bring home a medal from the competition. He ended up winning two. That success helped turn an informal conversation into a business plan, and approximately 11 months later, the first WeldWerks beers were being poured in Greeley.

Since opening in 2015, WeldWerks Brewing has built its reputation around a simple philosophy: Dialed-In Beer. That expression represents the brewery’s commitment to continually improving its recipes, brewing procedures, ingredients, quality control, and overall customer experience. Rather than settling for a beer that is merely good enough, the brewery emphasizes the importance of getting the details right and continuing to make improvements from one batch to the next.

One of the beers most closely associated with WeldWerks is Juicy Bits, its highly regarded New England-style IPA. Juicy Bits helped introduce the brewery to a much wider craft beer audience and became a recognizable name among fans of hazy, hop-forward American IPAs. Its juicy character and modern hop profile helped establish WeldWerks as a serious player in the competitive hazy IPA category.

The brewery’s portfolio, however, extends well beyond one flagship IPA. WeldWerks regularly produces West Coast IPAs, New England IPAs, pale ales, lagers, stouts, porters, fruited sour ales, and specialty releases that explore unusual ingredients and flavor combinations. The brewery has developed a particularly strong following for its dessert-inspired sour beers, which frequently incorporate fruit purees, candy-inspired flavors, vanilla, lactose, and other specialty ingredients.

That willingness to experiment is exactly where beers like PB&J Sour Ale fit into the WeldWerks brewing program. Rather than limiting its sour beer releases to traditional fruit combinations, the brewery explores familiar desserts, nostalgic snacks, and unexpected flavor pairings. Strawberry, raspberry, peanut flavor, and milk sugar make PB&J another example of WeldWerks taking an everyday flavor combination and translating it into a distinctive craft beer.

Other creative releases have included Mango Cotton Candy, P.O.G. Gelato, Watermelon Cotton Candy, and The Nerdy Professor. These beers demonstrate how WeldWerks approaches modern fruited sour ales as an opportunity to experiment with ingredients, sweetness, acidity, and recognizable flavor profiles while maintaining the character of a brewed beer.

WeldWerks operates its downtown Greeley brewing facility with both a 15-barrel three-vessel steam brewhouse and a 30-barrel four-vessel steam brewhouse. The brewery has reported producing more than 700 unique beers across its first eight years, an impressive amount of experimentation for an independent craft brewery. Its brewing team places a strong emphasis on selecting ingredients that suit individual recipes, maintaining quality standards, and continuing to develop new techniques.

Recognition has followed. WeldWerks was named Best New Brewery by USA Today’s 10Best Reader’s Choice Awards in 2016 and has earned multiple medals at the Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup. The brewery also received four medals and Mid-Size Brewery of the Year honors at the 2026 Colorado Brewers Cup competition.

Beyond brewing, WeldWerks operates an in-house kitchen featuring chef-driven food designed to complement its beer selection. Its downtown Greeley taproom provides a gathering place for local residents and visitors, with an atmosphere built around craft beer, food, and community.

The brewery also organizes the WeldWerks Invitational, an annual craft beer festival that brings together respected breweries from across the country. First launched in 2018, the event has grown into a destination for craft beer enthusiasts interested in rare releases, collaborations, and beers that are not always available in their local markets. It also reflects the brewery’s commitment to supporting the Greeley community.

Today, WeldWerks Brewing Co. continues to build its reputation through innovative craft beer, creative sour ales, award-winning IPAs, specialty stouts, and an ongoing willingness to try something different. From Juicy Bits to experimental releases like PB&J Sour Ale, the brewery remains focused on its Dialed-In Beer philosophy and delivering distinctive experiences to craft beer fans.
