PORTLAND, Ore., March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shock Top, a craft beer icon and brand by Tilray Beverages, known for its bold flavors and unfiltered wheat ales, today announced its first-ever high-ABV double wheat beer, an electric new twist on what a wheat can be. High Voltage delivers a shockwave of juicy orange flavor amped by bright citrus zest and a bold wheat backbone.

Prepare to be jolted by Shock Top High Voltage – an electrifying new take on wheat beer that cranks citrus to the max. This high‑powered double wheat explodes with bright orange flavor, brewed with real orange peel and orange puree for a shockwave of amped up citrus. Bright notes of orange candy, zesty peel, and a citrus pop hit first, riding atop a smooth wheat body and finish that keeps the experience bold and unapologetically zesty.

At 9.6% ABV and offered in 19.2 oz cans, each sip is a flavor overload that amps up your taste buds and leaves a lingering buzz of citrus and warmth, rolling out in stores nationwide starting at $2.99.

“We didn’t set out to make just another beer - we set out to make a beer that feels as fun and full of energy as the people who drink it,” said Jacob Neilson, Senior Brand Manager at Shock Top. “High Voltage is our response to the fans - designed to show up wherever the energy is high and the night is just getting started, for a community that is spontaneous, social and always chasing what’s next.”

High-ABV singles continue to drive growth for the craft category, with 19.2 oz singles leading consumer spending and purchasing trends in 2025. High Voltage reflects Shock Top’s understanding of what fans want to drink, when and where – and consistently delivering exactly what they’re asking for.

High Voltage will debut with a major launch in Southern California before expanding nationwide to both large-format and convenience stores beginning in May. To learn more about High Voltage, please visit: https://www.shocktop.com/beer/high-voltage
