NEW YORK, Sept. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Montauk Brewing Company (“Montauk Brewing” or “Montauk”), the leading and fastest-selling craft brewer in Metro New York¹, known for its exceptional craft beers and a subsidiary of Tilray Brands, Inc. (“Tilray” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: TLRY and TSX: TLRY), announced today the beginning of a highly-anticipated expansion beyond the Northeast that will begin in Georgia, and continue to other major markets in the U.S. later this year.

“This is a huge moment for Montauk Brewing, as we begin a sustainable path to becoming a national brand. Since Montauk Brewing was founded 11 years ago, the buzz around its innovative, easy-drinking beers has spread far beyond New York. Consumers and retailers across the country constantly ask us when Montauk will be available in their cities, and we’re excited that we can now show them why Montauk is the top craft brewer in New York,” said Ty Gilmore, President of U.S. Beer at Tilray.

Montauk’s best-selling styles of its drinkable craft beers are now available in both cans and kegs, including:

• Wave Chaser India Pale Ale (IPA) [6.4% Alcohol By Volume (ABV)]: A super clean and refreshing ale brewed with Chinook, Azacca, Columbus and El Dorado hops that deliver a wave of tropical and pine aromas.
• Cold Day IPA (6.7% ABV): Inspired by Montauk’s icy winds and frosty waters in the winter, the slightly hazy IPA was brewed with Amarillo and Strata that deliver crisp juice notes that warm the spirit.
• Driftwood Ale (6% ABV): A well-balanced English Pale Ale known for its dark copper color and easy drinkability, thanks to its Victory malts, which deliver terrific toasty, nutty and biscuity flavors.
• Box of Montauk: A rotating variety pack filled with Montauk’s best seasonal and flagship beers, featuring Wave Chaser IPA, The Surf Beer, Juicy IPA, and Tropical IPA for Fall 2023.

Montauk’s best-selling craft beers are now available across major retailers, restaurants, and bars throughout Georgia.
