Strange Craft Beer Co. To Release Watermelon Hefe on July 4
“We only brew enough to get us through the month of July. After that, ya gotta wait until next summer."
DENVER, CO— Strange Craft Beer Co. will release its fifth annual batch of Watermelon Hefe on Wednesday, July 4 at 12pm during the brewery's Fourth of July celebration. Watermelon Hefe will be served in pints at the bar and Crowlers to-go, while supplies last.
This bright and crisp German-style wheat beer is one of the brewery’s most sought-after creations, a refreshing summer delicacy adored for its 5.5 percent ABV drinkability and healthy but not overpowering dose of real watermelon— more than 660 pounds of organic, hand-cut fruit per 10-barrel batch.
"Summer always means watermelon at our house, and Fourth of July always means Watermelon Hefe at Strange," says owner Tim Myers. "But don't wait too long! I always feel terrible disappointing folks that come by for a pint too late in the month. This beer is meant to be enjoyed fresh. We only brew enough to get us through the month of July. After that, ya gotta wait until next summer."
Watermelon Hefe was first brewed in 2013 and bottled annually from 2014 to 2017. This year it will only be available in pints at the brewery and Crowlers to-go. It will tap during the brewery's Fourth of July celebration at which guests can BYO barbecue. Strange Craft will set up a grill and customers are encouraged to picnic at the brewery. The beer garden will be open late that evening for fireworks viewing.

DENVER, CO — Strange Craft Beer Company’s popular summer seasonal Watermelon Hefe will return for its fourth year on draft and in limited bombers just in time for the Fourth of July.
Watermelon Hefe was first brewed at Strange in 2013 and bottled one year later. This bright and crisp German-style wheat beer is one of the brewery’s most sought-after creations, a refreshing summer delicacy adored for its 5.5 percent ABV drinkability and healthy but not overpowering dose of real watermelon— more than 660 pounds of organic, hand-cut fruit per batch.
Strange Craft’s Watermelon Hefe will be available at the brewery on draft and in bombers on Friday, June 30. This year’s bottle run is the smallest yet, with only 60 cases to be distributed across Colorado’s Front Range. Last year, this beer was sold out by the end of July.
