Memorial+Day+2024+Double+Release+Pi - DOUBLE CAN RELEASE FRIDAY!

DOUBLE CAN RELEASE THIS FRIDAY, MAY 24!

Stock up for the long weekend with the return of two of our favorite IPAs – Stark White Dad Shoes and West Coast Burner!

STARK WHITE DAD SHOES: Perfect for drinking while mowing the lawn, grilling on the deck, watching golf, backing into parking spaces, or falling asleep on the couch, Stark White Dad Shoes is brewed with New Zealand Riwaka and Australian Galaxy hops. This IPA is best described as a passion fruit bomb. It’s super pungent and intensely fruity with very low bitterness. 6.2% ABV.

WEST COAST BURNER: It’s like this, and like that, and like this, and uh – West Coast Burner is just as bold and citrusy as our flagship American IPA with an extra kick of grapefruit, pine, and an even more bitter yet clean finish. Have one, then just chill, ‘til the next episode. 7.2% ABV.

Both beers will be available at our tap room beginning this Friday, May 24 on tap and in 4-packs (16oz cans). Limited distro starting next week. Online ordering for pickup or shipping (currently shipping to NY & PA only) will be available beginning Friday morning.

BDBC+Pineapple+Burner+ +FB+Post+%282%29 - PINEAPPLE BURNER IN 12OZ CANS!

by Big Ditch Brewing Co.

You’ve been asking us for years, and we’ve listened. Pineapple Burner, our most requested beer of all time, is now available for the entire spring and summer in 12 oz cans!

Pineapple Burner is our flagship Hayburner American IPA with a fresh tropical pineapple burst in the aroma and finish. Made with REAL pineapple, this beer is as flavorful as it is refreshing.

Pineapple Burner is available on draft and 6-packs at our tap room beginning today and making its way across our distribution network as we speak.

BDBC+Miles+on+the+90+ +FB+Post+%281%29 - MILES ON THE 90 "WEST COAST-STYLE IPA" BEER RELEASE - FRIDAY 2/24

by Big Ditch Brewing Co.

This one is for all the West Coast IPA fans out there!

If you’re like us, and this weather has you dreaming about hitting the road for long weekends and scenic views this summer, we’ve got the perfect beer for you.

“Miles on the 90” is inspired by the inevitable part of any New York State road trip, when the music becomes background noise and the scenery fades away into a passing blur of endless fields and muted colors, and all we can think about is how good that first beer will taste when we finally get to where we’re going. This West Coast-style IPA, brewed with Mosaic and Talus hops, and brimming with grapefruit flavor and clean, refreshing bitterness, won’t let you down. 7.0% ABV.

Draft and cans will be available at our tap room beginning Friday, February 24 at 11AM.
