BridgePort Brewing Releases Hoptoberfest IPA

PORTLAND, Ore. — BridgePort Brewing Company, Oregon’s original craft brewery, is celebrating hop harvest season with the release of its fresh hop Hoptoberfest IPA. This year’s edition is a hoppy, Mãrzen-inspired IPA using fresh Centennial, Amarillo and Mt. Hood hops.

“We start with four malts and the hops to build a solid, lightly bitter background and amber color,” describes BridgePort Brewmaster Jeff Edgerton. “We then ferment with our German lager yeast before pouring over fresh hops,” he adds. “As the beer cools, an incomparable fresh hop flavor develops.”

7.0% ABV | 40 IBU

The Hopterberfest IPAis the fourth of five limited-edition releases in BridgePort Brewing’s Hop Hero Series and won’t be around long! You can find it in select stores, bottle shops across 13 states (see distribution list below) and at the Bridgeport Brewing Brew Pub in Downtown Portland. Hopterberfest IPA is available in six-pack cans and 22-ounce bottles.
