Huss Brewing Announces Two New Beers To Lineup
(Phoenix, AZ) – Arizona’s own, Huss Brewing Co. is proud to announce that they are rolling out two new craft beers, Papago Blueberry Wheat and Rio Salado Mexican Lager. Combined with Huss’ flagship IPAs, Copper State and Hopaloosa Hazy IPA, this Tempe-based brewery now offers multiple wildly unique, and distinctly Arizona twists on some of the nation’s most popular craft beer styles. Handcrafted by Brewmaster Jeff Huss and Head Brewer Matt Johnson, each of these new beers has a unique flavor profile, and interesting backstory.
Papago Blueberry Wheat (5% ABV | 12 IBU’s) is bursting with natural blueberry flavor and color, and is a welcome addition to Papago’s family of fruit beers that include Papago Cherry Blossom and Papago Orange Blossom. The Blueberry Wheat is balanced and smooth with a crisp, slightly sweet finish.
Rio Salado Mexican Lager (4.7% ABV | 16 IBU’s) is Huss’ first Mexican Lager, brewed with malted barley, flaked maize, and Vienna malt. Their take on the popular beer is delicious, crisp light lager that pays homage to the former brewery (Rio Salado Brewing) where Huss’ Tempe brewery and taproom currently reside.
Now available at your favorite bars and restaurants Valley-wide, as well as the Huss taprooms in Tempe, Downtown Phoenix and Uptown Phoenix, Huss Brewing is also available at select grocery and convenience stores across Arizona. The Papago Brewing Co. Taproom is slated to open early this year in Mesa.
