Official Beer of Portland Beer Week
Introducing the 2015 Portland Beer Week collaboration beer “Back to the Future IPA” a multi-city beer week and brewery project between Seattle’s Fremont Brewing Co. and Portland’s Breakside Brewery. Check the calendar for bottle release parties and tappings of this highly limited edition beer.
Description:
This IPA is a cross-border collaboration with Seattle’s Fremont Brewing. We planned the beer together and each brewed a batch of it for our cities’ respective Beer Weeks. When we set out to do this beer together, we knew that we wanted to make a big IPA and showcase some fun hop varietals that don’t get much attention…yet.
We specifically chose new varietals that we think have a lot of promise, and it’s named after the futuristic hops used in each version: Jarrylo and Equinox in Fremont’s, and Azacca and Ella in ours. These beers very might well introduce you to new hop varietals that will be front and center in many IPAs to come.
ABV: 7% IBU: 68 Malts: Two Row, Light Crystal Hops: Chinook, Ella, Azacca
