Melvin Brewing Launches Method Series, Kicking Off with Bold New IPA

Melvin blends innovation, hop-forward experimentation, and seasonal strategy in latest release

Alpine, WY – January 18^th, 2026 – Melvin Brewing Co., a brewery nationally recognized for pushing the boundaries of craft beer, today announced the launch of its Method series, a new trimester seasonal program designed to deliver innovation, creativity, and hop-forward experimentation directly to beer enthusiasts. The series launches with Method Drop IPA, a West Coast IPA brewed with New Zealand Hops that bring intense aroma and flavor and hits with a clean expression.

“Melvin has always been about innovation without compromise,” said Max Shafer, Brewmaster at Melvin Brewing. “The Method series is our way of experimenting boldly with flavors, hops, and seasonal creativity, for a beer that is both explosive and approachable, and undeniably Melvin.”

Method Drop IPA features Nelson Sauvin and Riwaka hops, producing bright Sauvignon Blanc notes, juicy white peach, and a touch of diesel dankness for a flavor profile that is punchy, memorable, and just a little unhinged. The beer reflects Melvin’s commitment to technical precision and bold experimentation.

“The release is paired with striking, collectible artwork that’s a literal mic drop,” Shafer adds, “reflecting the beer’s bold, uncompromising character and making it as visually memorable as it is flavorful.”

The Method series is structured as a trimester seasonal program, offering three unique releases a year to keep fans engaged and eager for what comes next. Method Drop IPA 6-packs will be available in select markets starting in February, with additional seasonal releases Method Krush and Method Grind to follow.
