Enfield-based Beavertown Brewery is expanding its popular Cosmic Drop lineup to include a new Cosmic Drop Tropical variety for the summer season.
The new Cosmic Drop Tropical variety is based on the brand's existing Cosmic Drop Berry beer. The new version combines a crisp lager base with juicy tropical fruit flavors that pair well with warm-weather consumption. In other words, it's a fruit-forward twist on a clean drinking lager. As Genna Burchel, Head of Commercial Marketing at Beavertown Brewery, explains: “We’re seeing strong demand for lighter, fruit-led beers, especially in summer. Cosmic Drop Tropical builds on the success of Berry, giving retailers a fresh, tropical take on lager to tap into that trend.”
Cosmic Drop Tropica is launching across the U.K. this summer and will be available from select retailers and pubs.
