HAYWARD, Calif. — Columbus Craft Meats has always delivered unique flavors and varieties for its adventurous, bold consumers and the company’s newest product launch adds the boldest flavor yet, India Pale Ale. Columbus partnered with its neighbor, Faction Brewing, to bring this exciting product to market.
The new Columbus® India Pale Ale Salame has notes of sweet pepper, citrus and spicy hops for that classic IPA taste and has no added hormones and no artificial colors or flavors.
