Tröegs Adding Graffiti Highway Single Hop IPA & Graffiti Highway Downshift IPA
Tröegs Independent Brewing in Hershey, Pennsylvania is gearing up for an exciting expansion of one of its most beloved IPAs, and you’re getting the very first look. The brewery is developing new variants of Graffiti Highway, a fan‑favorite IPA inspired by the iconic, paint‑covered stretch of abandoned roadway in Central Pennsylvania. These upcoming releases not only introduce fresh takes on the Graffiti Highway profile, they strongly hint that a full lineup of single‑hop IPAs, sessionable variants, and even a potential Graffiti Highway variety pack may be on the horizon.
Tröegs is rolling out two new IPA variants, each designed to showcase different expressions of the Graffiti Highway flavor profile while keeping things bright, approachable, and deeply hop‑forward.
Graffiti Highway Single Hop IPA
This first variant puts the spotlight squarely on Mosaic hops, offering a pure, focused expression of one of the most popular hop varieties in modern craft beer. Expect notes of berry, citrus, and tropical fruit, classic Mosaic character, delivered through a crisp and sessionable IPA format.
Style: Single‑hop IPA
Hop bill: 100% Mosaic
ABV: 5.5%
Packaging: 12‑oz cans
Future direction: More single‑hop versions are expected, each highlighting a different hop variety
Graffiti Highway Downshift IPA
The second variant, Downshift IPA, leans into easy‑drinking, lower‑ABV territory while still carrying the Graffiti Highway DNA. This one is built for drinkability—clean, bright, and perfect for long sessions without sacrificing hop character.
Style: Session IPA
ABV: 4.5%
Packaging: 12‑oz cans
What’s Next
Release dates are still forthcoming, but the early look suggests a steady rollout of Graffiti Highway variants throughout 2026. With more single‑hop versions hinted at, and the possibility of a full Graffiti Highway variety pack, this line is shaping up to be one of Tröegs’ most exciting IPA projects in years.
Label Text Tröegs Graffiti Highway Single Hop IPA:
