In anticipation of the sunny days ahead, Crux Fermentation Project has introduced a vibrant lineup of new and rebranded beverages. The Bend-based brewery is offering enthusiasts a tropical twist with its newly permanent Half a Brain Hazy IPA, an innovative non-alcoholic option in Bright Sky Pils, and a refreshed aesthetic for their classic Crux Pilz. This update not only caters to diverse consumer preferences but also celebrates Crux's Central Oregon heritage through artistic can designs.

Crux Fermentation Project’s managing director and brewmaster, Cam O'Connor, expressed excitement about the debut of Half a Brain Hazy IPA as a full-time offering. Previously featured in limited releases, this hazy IPA delivers fruity hop aromas reminiscent of pineapple, coconut, lime, and stone fruit. Its rich texture and tropical essence make it a perfect companion for summer getaways.

Bright Sky Pils represents Crux's latest addition to its NØMØ line of non-alcoholic brews. After years of development, this crisp and floral pilsner provides a refreshing alternative without compromising on taste. Ideal for those seeking a lighter beverage, Bright Sky appeals to individuals who want to enjoy the season responsibly.

The Crux Pilz, a beloved staple, retains its original formula but now sports a revitalized design. Featuring tree-ring-inspired artwork that echoes the brewery's iconic pub ambiance, the updated packaging highlights Crux's connection to nature and craftsmanship. The brighter color palette complements the beer's clean, citrusy finish.

As summer beckons outdoor enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike, Crux Fermentation Project ensures there's something for everyone. From the juicy allure of Half a Brain Hazy IPA to the invigorating brightness of Bright Sky Pils and the timeless charm of Crux Pilz, these offerings promise to enhance any summer experience. Cheers to Crux for delivering innovation and tradition in every sip!
