Redhook Brewery, makers of pure Pacific Northwest ale, and a subsidiary of Tilray Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY and TSX: TLRY), is introducing the brewery’s newest offering: 

Big Juicy Ballard IPA

, a higher ABV, high-octane juice bomb bursting with tropical hops and a lingering sweet finish, hitting shelves this April.

Redhook’s Big Ballard family pays homage to its original stomping grounds in the Ballard District where Redhook was born in 1981 and builds on the resounding success of our beloved Big Ballard series—featuring the Original, Hazy, and Tropical variations. We proudly introduce the newest member: Big Juicy Ballard. With an impressive ABV of 9.5%, this fourth edition embodies our commitment to delivering bold flavors and innovative brews that bring the highest quality and brewing innovations to drinkers across the Pacific Northwest. This edition caters to the growing preference among consumers for innovative imperial offerings and is conveniently available in the popular 19.2 oz cans. Redhook's latest release not only promises exceptional quality and value but also invites consumers to savor the evolution of the Big Ballard series.

“We're thrilled to unveil our newest addition to the Big Ballard family, the Big Juicy Ballard IPA,” said Kaylen Gibbens, Lead Brewing Manager. “This brew represents both the tradition of big, bold and flavorful IPAs that the family is known for, and the latest flavors and techniques to satisfy the tastes of the modern drinker.”

“We took our time to develop this recipe, challenge our own processes and push the boundaries of what we’ve done in the past,” added Parker Penley, Innovation Brewer. “The result is something special. With its juicy hop profile and robust ABV, Big Juicy packs a tremendous amount of flavor inside a remarkably drinkable beer. It’s a testament to the tradition and innovation that has come to define the Big Ballard series and we can't wait for everyone to experience it!”
