Craft beer is evolving fast in 2025. Whether you're an IPA loyalist, a dark beer devotee, or just exploring new flavor frontiers, this year’s lineup of trending beers is full of bold releases, unexpected collabs, and regional gems worth tracking down.
Below are the top 10 trending craft beers in 2025—each bringing something new to the table (or pint glass).
1. Tree House Brewing – “Cloud Logic” (Hazy IPA)
Charlton, MA
One of the kings of the haze game, Tree House delivers again with Cloud Logic, a pillowy-soft IPA bursting with citrus and pineapple. Released in limited drops—this one’s flying off the shelves.
2. Other Half x Monkish – “West Meets East” (Double IPA)
Brooklyn, NY / Torrance, CA
Two powerhouses teamed up for a juicy, hop-bomb of a collab. If you love fruit-forward DIPA with a slightly dank finish, this is 2025’s must-try bicoastal brew.
3. WeldWerks Brewing – “Pastry Cart: Red Velvet” (Dessert Stout)
Greeley, CO
WeldWerks continues to lead the pastry stout game with this indulgent, cake-inspired brew. Notes of cocoa, cream cheese frosting, and roasted malt make this a sweet sipper.
4. Firestone Walker – “Hopnosis 2025” (West Coast IPA)
Paso Robles, CA
This updated version of the classic Hopnosis uses advanced hop products for even cleaner bitterness and tropical aroma. A standout in the West Coast revival movement.
5. Creature Comforts – “Solar Bloom” (Hazy Pale Ale)
Athens, GA
A lighter, sessionable hazy that still delivers major citrus punch. Perfect for festival season and gaining traction across the Southeast.
6. Half Acre Beer Co. – “Dark Matter: Recharged” (Coffee Porter)
Chicago, IL
This porter blends rich coffee from a local roaster with chocolate malt and a smooth body. Perfect for chill nights, and a 2025 winter favorite.
7. Jester King – “Bloomcraft” (Farmhouse Ale with Wildflowers)
Austin, TX
2025 is the year of funky florals—and Jester King nailed it. With wild yeast and Hill Country botanicals, Bloomcraft is earthy, tart, and perfect for spring.
8. Mikerphone Brewing – “Sound Check” (Cold IPA)
Elk Grove Village, IL
Cold IPAs are taking over taplists in 2025, and Sound Check is leading the charge. Crisp, clean, and hop-forward with none of the haze.
9. The Veil Brewing Co. – “Never Never Gonnuh Give U Up” (Triple Fruited Sour)
Richmond, VA
Wild name. Wilder flavor. This thick smoothie-style sour packs mango, guava, and passionfruit into a tropical punch that drinks like juice.
10. BlackStack Brewing – “Buzzwords 2025” (DDH IPA)
St. Paul, MN
Double dry-hopped and loaded with hype hops (Strata, Galaxy, Citra), this release is flying on beer trade forums and trending on Untappd.

NA craft beer is exploding in 2025, with brands like Athletic Brewing, Gruvi, and newcomers like Bravus pushing flavor boundaries without the booze. Keep an eye out for NA IPAs and stouts at mainstream festivals this summer.
