SILVER SPRING, MD (February 24th , 2022) – Silver Branch Brewing Company is set to release Dr.
Juicy on their third anniversary, Mar 3, 2022. The brewing team at Silver Branch designed, brewed, and packaged two different IPA recipes in a mixed six-pack after extensive IPA research that has been ongoing for the last year. These trial versions of Dr. Juicy, simply labeled as A and Z, were brewed with minor variations in formulation and packaged together to invite comparison between the recipes amongst beer fans. Beer fans were invited to weigh in on their favorite trial version of Dr. Juicy and provide feedback not only on the quality of the beer but also the cans associated with the label design and the overall appearance. This was a comprehensive undertaking by the entire Silver Branch team to create an excellent brand for fans of IPA all over the DMV. The final formulation of Dr. Juicy comes on the heels of this feedback and the continued research that has been ongoing at Silver Branch.
