Full Sail Brewing Releases New Brewer’s Share Experimental Beer,
Bello-Torres y Amigos Lager for American Craft Beer Week
Brewery Invites you to Meet the Brewers and the Beer
Hood River, Oregon – To celebrate American Craft Beer Week (May 13-19th), Full Sail Brewing will release a new beer in their Brewer’s Share Experimental line up: “Bello-Torres y Amigos Lager” crafted by Maintenance Supervisor Eduardo Bello and Bottling Technician Leo Torres.
Eduardo and Leo were inspired by the beers of their native country, Mexico and the fond memories of sharing cervezas with friends and family on hot summer afternoons. Both Eduardo and Leo have been valued members of the Full Sail crew for over 20 years and have since developed a passion for great beer and a deep respect for the art and science of brewing. “We are excited to have the opportunity to share our beer with you and invite you to fill your glasses and raise them with your own friends and family. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed brewing it. Cheers to good times with family and friends. Salud!”
This crisp, light bodied lager was brewed with 2 row pale malt and a touch of corn. NW Glacier and Sterling hops were used throughout to provide a subtle hop character. This is the perfect brew for the warm days of summer. ABV 5.0% IBU 21.5

Glacier Hops was released by Washington State University in 2000. This varieties roots are planted in the lineage of many other great hop varieties, and is made up of the following:
- 1/2 Elasser
- 5/32 Brewer’s Gold
- 1/8 Northern Brewer
- 1/16 Bullion Hops
- 1/32 Early Green
- 1/32 German Aroma Hops
- 1/64 East Kent Golding
- 1/128 Bavarian
- 1/128 Unknown
Glacier Hops is a balanced dual purpose hops. Its composure lends itself to many applications in many styles of beers. Glacier’s alpha acid rating averages around 5.5% and its flavor and aroma profile are suitable for both English and American style ales. It contains moderate humulene, myrcene, and caryophyllene oils, all in good balance. The aroma has citrus notes, and hints of fruit, as well as an herby and woody aroma. The bitterness is active and satisfying.
Glacier Hops triumphs on its ability for high yields ranging from 2400 – 2600 lbs/acre. Medium compact bulbs grow at a moderate pace until they are ready for harvest mid-season. Glacier’s only strife is its ability to ward off mildew, the plague of the beer community. However, this new variety has taken hold, and will continue to win over some brewer’s in the future. Look out for it, and try it out when you can.
Beers made with Glacier Hops -
Harpoon Brewery – Glacier Harvest Wet Hop Beer
O’Fallen Brewery – 5-Day IPA
Pelican Pub and Brewery – Surfer’s Summer Ale
Coast Brewing Company – DIS Dry Irish Stout
Diamond Knot Brewing Company – Possession Porter
