Austen Kroll's beer brand, Trop Hop, officially has a brand new flavor, and some of Austen's Southern Charm castmates, including Taylor Ann Green, hit the town to support the entrepreneur and his beer, showing their appreciation for him.
After previously teasing some "big news" of a "new Trop Hop flavor coming soon" on Oct. 21, Austen and Trop Hop announced their newest flavor, Peach Wheat Ale, on Instagram last week. Austen celebrated the launch of Peach Wheat Ale on Thursday, Nov. 14 at a party held at The Rooftop Bar at The Vendue, where he sipped on the brew alongside his friends.
Taylor — who appears to be in a good place with Austen following their Season 9 drama — wasn't the only familiar face at the event. Southern Charm Season 10 newcomer Molly O'Connell took to her Instagram feed where she posted a photo of her, Austen, and Rodrigo Reyes holding their cans of Trop Hop. She also posted a photo with Taylor and and Season 10 newcomer Ryan Albert.
"Congrats [Austen Kroll] on your new [peach] flavored [Trop Hop Beers]," Molly wrote in the caption of the post.
Several Southern Charm cast members took to the comments of the post, where they continued the party on Instagram. "Thanks for coming along Molly ! More fun times ahead," Austen wrote.
"Should have stolen those jellys," quipped Taylor.
"FOMO," Venita Aspen, who was not at the event, added.
Rodrigo also took to his Instagram Story where he posted a shot of him, Austen, and Taylor holding cans of the beer. "Congrats Baby Boy on the new [Trop Hop] peach wheat!" he captioned the photo.
When is Austen Kroll and Craig Conover's restaurant opening?
It's safe to say that Austen has been very hard at work. In addition to running Trop Hop, he and Southern Charm cast member Craig Conover are opening up their very own Charleston bar and restaurant.
Craig took to Instagram earlier this month, where he revealed that the establishment, named By the Way, is on track to open by the end of the year. "The goal is December," he wrote on Instagram.
What to Expect from Austen Kroll on Southern Charm Season 10
Trop Hop will be a focus for Austen when Southern Charm returns to Bravo. Per his official cast bio for the new season: "Surprising himself by defining the relationship, Austen is finally happy with a new long-distance girlfriend and focused on reviving his beer business. While his love life is on the up and up, his friendship with Craig is on the rocks, as the former partners-in-crime find themselves at a crucial point of disagreement with no clear path forward."
See how this plays out when Southern Charm Season 10 premieres on Bravo on Thursday, Dec. 5 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Episodes will be available to stream the next day on Peacock.
