EMBRACE THE TASTE OF PARADISE WITH BRECKENRIDGE BREWERY’S REFRESHING NEW ‘JUICY OASIS FRUITED HAZY IPA’
LITTLETON, Colo., Jan. 25, 2024 — Breckenridge Brewery (“Breck Brewery” or “Breck Brew”) a subsidiary of
Tilray Brands, Inc. (“Tilray” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: TLRY and TSX: TLRY), is thrilled to introduce its latest beer – the
Juicy Oasis Fruited Hazy IPA. Kicking it up a notch with a fruit-forward taste and powerful 9.6% ABV, this beer is bursting with the smooth blend of Pineapple and Passionfruit and uses real agave nectar – perfect for both the avid hazy IPA enthusiast and the fruit-minded beer drinker. The launch of Juicy Oasis builds on Breck Brew’s success with Hazy IPAs and is a new take on last year’s Imperial Watermelon Lime Agave Wheat brew now with a more luscious tropical essence.
“We’ve had several very successful Hazy IPAs over the years, but we’re excited to combine hints of agave nectar – an ingredient derived from our popular Agave Wheat – alongside tropical fruits, making an IPA that is really sensational,” explained Carl Heinz, brewmaster of Breckenridge Brewery. “Our new Juicy Oasis Fruited Hazy IPA is bigger and bolder than our traditional brews but will appeal to a broad range of beer drinkers. With the growing demand for high ABV IPAs across the country, we felt like we had a winning liquid on our hands that needed its own name – hence Juicy Oasis.”
