Portland, OR — March 19, 2026 — Westwood Farms has partnered with Living Häus Beer Co. and Pizza Port Brewing Co. to release “Kathy,” a 6.2% ABV India Red Ale brewed with Indie Hops Strata® hops and Yakima Chief Mosaic hops grown at Westwood Farms.
The beer is named in honor of Kathy Coleman, a beloved mother and grandmother in the Coleman family who played an important role in shaping the family behind Westwood Farms.
“Kathy” opens with notes of orange peel and peach skins, followed by a jammy marmalade character and a finish of toffee and baker’s chocolate. The beer features Strata® and Centennial hops from Indie Hops and Mosaic from Yakima Chief Hops, with both Strata® and Mosaic grown at Westwood Farms.
The collaboration was inspired by a current Pizza Port recipe and reflects a shared connection between the three partners, bringing together hop growing, brewing, and long-standing relationships within the craft beer community along the West Coast. The timing of the collab was ideal for entry into the Oregon Beer Awards, scheduled for April 2.
“My grandma Kathy helped shape our family in a lot of ways. She even helped name Westwood Farms,” said Annie Coleman of Westwood Farms. “Naming this beer after her felt like a simple way to honor her lasting influence on her family and the farm, while also celebrating the people behind the hops and the beer.”
“We often name beers after people who matter to us or our collaborators,” said Mat Sandoval, CEO and co-founder of Living Häus Beer Co. “When we heard about Kathy, it immediately felt like the right fit. It’s a beer that reflects both great ingredients and the relationships behind them.”
“We have had a great time working with Living Häus over the last couple of years on collaboration beers,” said Mike Havens, head brewer at Pizza Port Brewing Co. in Solana Beach, Calif. “Evolving this recipe together made the process really fun, and being able to do that with great hops and great partners made it even better.”
“Kathy” will be available in 16 oz four-packs and on draft across the Portland Metro Area, Seattle, Southern Oregon, and San Diego, including bars, bottle shops, and the Living Häus and Pizza Port tasting rooms.
The beer is now available on tap at Living Häus, with wider distribution rolling out over the following weeks.
