Craft Brewery Releases Seasonal “Troptimistic” and New All-IPA Variety Pack

Troptimistic Wheat Ale

Coming out of the winter doldrums, it’s high time for something light, bright and optimistic: introducing Troptimistic Wheat Ale. SweetWater’s newest American Wheat Ale combines tropical vibrancy and easy drinkability for a thirst-quenching liquid. With natural passionfruit and kiwi flavors, Troptimistic is the perfect sessionable beer to get into a spring state of mind. “This tropical American Wheat is hopped with Eldo and Sultana, delivering a refreshingly bright blast of tropical fruit, pineapple, pear and watermelon. Seasonals are our playground to have a little fun — we thought about drinking beers during a round of golf, out on the water as the weather changes, or on the beach during spring break while creating Troptimistic,” says Brian Miesieski, Chief Marketing Officer of SweetWater Brewery. Enjoy this island inspired escape now through mid-May.
