Public Coast Brewing Co. has introduced two new beverages to its lineup — the Resurgence IPA and a zero-proof Orange Cream Soda.
The Resurgence IPA was inspired by New Zealand’s Riwaka Valley. It is a 6% ABV India Pale Ale featuring earthy aromas with a citrus and grapefruit finish. The beverage is intended to evoke the vibrant flavors of spring. The Orange Cream Soda, on the other hand, is a non-alcoholic option that combines creamy vanilla with tangy orange puree. This formulation offers a nostalgic creamsicle-like taste.
Both beverages are crafted to reflect Public Coast Brewing Co.'s commitment to quality and local inspiration, with the IPA available on tap and in four-packs, while the soda is offered on tap and in cans exclusively at the brewery and nearby coastal locations.
