Devil’s Foot Beverage Debuts Tropical IPL. A Hoppy, Fruity Collaboration with Swamp Rabbit Café & Grocery

ASHEVILLE, NC (August 2025) – Devil’s Foot Beverage, Asheville’s Farm-To-Can craft soda company, is bringing a hoppy new take on its Zero Proof Series with the debut of Tropical IPL (India Pale Lemonade). Created in collaboration with longtime friends at Swamp Rabbit Café & Grocery in Greenville, South Carolina, this innovative soda takes cues from the hazy IPA world — juicy, hop-forward, and bursting with tropical character.

Made with Fresh Lemon and Mango Juice, Citra and Azacca hops, and organic cane sugar, Tropical IPL offers a refreshing blend of hoppiness with smooth tropical flavor. Fans can expect juicy notes reminiscent of their favorite West Coast IPAs, balanced with just enough fruity brightness to keep it crisp and crushable.

“Our goal with this new addition to the Zero Proof Series is to reimagine what non-alcoholic beer can be,” said Ben Colvin, co-founder and president of Devil’s Foot Beverages “Tropical IPL gives hop lovers and curious lemonade sippers alike a chance to enjoy that hoppy IPA flavor in a refreshing, accessible way.”

The collaboration with Swamp Rabbit Café & Grocery reflects Devil’s Foot’s ongoing commitment to building community through craft. Known as a hub for local food, farmers, and makers in the Carolinas, Swamp Rabbit shares the same ethos of celebrating local flavors and supporting sustainable sourcing.

Tropical IPL will debut August 25th, available at The Mule (Devil’s Foot’s Asheville taproom), Swamp Rabbit Café & Grocery, online and select retailers throughout the Carolinas, Virginia, Tennessee, Colorado, Virginia, Alabama, and Florida.
