Production & Heritage

Drekker Brewing Company has built a devoted following from its Fargo, North Dakota headquarters, earning a reputation for bold, hop-forward hazy IPAs and inventive sour ales. Tiny Bites is brewed with a grain bill of oats and spelt, giving it a soft, pillowy body uncommon at session strength. The hop bill layers Centennial, Citra, Vic Secret, and Belma — a four-hop combination that bridges classic American citrus character with newer tropical and melon-forward varieties. Drekker brands this release as a "Petite IPA" rather than a standard session IPA, signaling that the intent is a scaled-down hazy experience rather than a stripped-back pale ale.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Pineapple and citrus zest lead, followed by a gentle floral lift and a faint sweetness from the spelt. The overall impression is bright and inviting without the resinous punch of higher-ABV hazies.

Taste: The entry is juicy, hitting immediate notes of pineapple and tangerine before the oat-heavy body delivers a creamy mid-palate. A subtle hint of honeydew melon emerges as it warms, with the spelt adding a light bready grain backbone. Bitterness stays low and measured, letting the fruit character drive the experience.

Finish: Short and clean, with soft citrus pith and a whisper of oat creaminess lingering on the tongue. There is no harsh bitterness or drying astringency — it simply resets the palate and invites the next sip.

How to Drink Tiny Bites

Serve cold, ideally between 38–42°F, straight from the can or poured into a tulip glass to amplify the hop aromatics. This is a beer built for volume drinking — low ABV and a soft body make it ideal for extended sessions. As a cocktail ingredient, Tiny Bites works in a Beer-garita (inverted into a frozen margarita for added tropical depth), a Radler (mixed with fresh lemonade to play off its citrus hop profile), or a Shandy (blended with ginger ale to highlight the melon and floral notes).

Best For

• Day drinking at summer cookouts where flavor and low ABV both matter
• Introducing hop-shy friends to the hazy IPA style at an approachable strength
• Stocking a tailgate cooler with a flavorful alternative to light lagers
• Winding down after a weeknight run or workout without a heavy beer buzz

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Tiny Bites taste like? Tiny Bites tastes like a juicy, tropical hazy IPA — pineapple, citrus, and soft melon — but with a lighter body and gentle bitterness thanks to its 5.0% ABV session strength.

How does Tiny Bites compare to Founders All Day IPA? Both are session-strength IPAs, but Tiny Bites leans firmly into the hazy/New England style with a creamier oat-and-spelt body and more pronounced tropical fruit, while Founders All Day IPA is a clearer, more classically bitter West Coast–leaning session ale. Tiny Bites runs at 5.0% ABV versus All Day IPA's 4.7%, with a noticeably softer mouthfeel.

Is Tiny Bites good for beginners? Yes — the low bitterness, juicy fruit flavors, and approachable 5.0% ABV make Tiny Bites an excellent gateway into hazy IPAs for drinkers who find standard-strength IPAs too intense or too bitter.

Where is Tiny Bites made? Tiny Bites is brewed at Drekker Brewing Company in Fargo, North Dakota, a craft brewery known primarily for its hazy IPAs and fruit-forward sour ales.

What foods pair well with Tiny Bites? Fish tacos (the citrus hops mirror a lime squeeze), grilled chicken with mango salsa (tropical fruit harmony), soft pretzels with beer cheese (the oat creaminess complements rich dips), poke bowls (bright hops cut through soy and sesame), and fresh summer fruit salad (melon and pineapple notes echo the fruit).

What sizes does Tiny Bites come in? Tiny Bites is available as a 4-pack of cans, the standard format for this release from Drekker Brewing.

Is Tiny Bites worth the price? Tiny Bites positions as a craft session IPA at a typical craft 4-pack price point, and its complex four-hop bill and specialty grain base deliver considerably more character than most beers at this ABV — strong value for drinkers who want hazy IPA flavor without the higher alcohol.

Why Tiny Bites?

Session-strength IPAs often sacrifice the lush, juicy mouthfeel that makes hazy IPAs appealing in the first place. Tiny Bites avoids that trap by using oats and spelt to build body that punches above the 5.0% ABV weight class. The four-hop combination of Centennial, Citra, Vic Secret, and Belma is unusually layered for a petite-format release, covering classic American citrus, Australian tropical fruit, and Pacific Northwest melon in a single pour. With a 3.8 rating across over 3,000 Untappd check-ins, Tiny Bites has proven itself as one of Drekker's most consistently well-received offerings — a full-flavored hazy that happens to be sessionable, rather than a diluted afterthought.
