This week, BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse introduced its latest seasonal brew, the Zany Zitrus IPA. Making its nationwide debut on February 27, 2025, this bold, New England-style Hazy IPA is now available on tap and in cans across all BJ’s locations. As a vibrant addition to their seasonal lineup, Zany Zitrus IPA underscores BJ’s commitment to craft beer innovation and solidifies its position as a leader in the industry.
What Makes Zany Zitrus IPA Stand Out?
With an ABV of 7.4% and 50 IBU, Zany Zitrus bursts with tropical fruit aromas, featuring notes of orange, grapefruit, mango, and papaya. It delivers a smooth, full-bodied flavor, balancing bright citrus and tropical fruit tones with mild malt sweetness and just the right amount of hop bitterness.
Unlike traditional West Coast IPAs, which can be intensely bitter, Zany Zitrus retains the fruit-forward hop character but finishes with a smoother, more approachable taste. Its hazy, unfiltered appearance is a hallmark of New England-style IPAs, crafted by BJ’s Head Brewer Aaron Stueck using a premium blend of Bravo, Cascade, Cashmere, and Citra hops. The result? A “friendly IPA” experience—packed with flavor yet accessible to a broad audience.
BJ’s Brewing Legacy Continues
For more than two decades, BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse has been at the forefront of the craft beer movement, pushing boundaries in both seasonal and flagship beer offerings. Zany Zitrus IPA is a shining example of this legacy, reflecting BJ’s dedication to quality brewing and continuous innovation.

Available on tap at all BJ’s locations and in cans to-go, this new seasonal release offers beer lovers multiple ways to enjoy its vibrant flavors. Whether sipping at a BJ’s restaurant or taking a pack home, Zany Zitrus IPA is ready to delight hop enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
