Double Mountain Brewery Welcomes in Winter with Hey, Porter! & Fa La La La La
Hood River, OR – November 2024 – As the crisp air rolls in and the days grow shorter, Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery invites you to warm up with the flavors of the season by introducing this year’s winter releases: Hey, Porter! Robust Porter and the annual return of the beloved Fa La La La La Winter Ale. Both beers are crafted to bring cozy, Northwest vibes to any chilly evening.
A true winter warmer, Hey, Porter! is a robust porter- a style known for its depth, dry finish, and stronger alcohol content. Robust porters are bold and complex, with a drier, roast-forward flavor compared to their sweeter counterparts. This beer pours dark garnet, nearly black in color, with enticing aromas of roasty toasty coffee. Each sip offers notes of toffee and a hint of raisin, balanced by a mild lingering bitterness that finishes crisp.
This year’s Fa La La La La Winter Ale continues to shine with a bold, Centennial-forward profile, staying true to brewmaster Matt Swihart’s original vision. Adjustments include dialing back the Crystal malt and adding Red X malt to maintain its rich color while creating a lighter mouthfeel that lets the Centennial hops truly glisten. With late and dry hop additions, this Fa offers vibrant aromas of evergreen, ripe citrus, and juicy pine, balanced by a crisp mouthfeel and a lingering, pleasant bitterness.

Ah. Breathe that Northwest air. The light is fading, but them trains are working hard to deliver that dark roast coffee, hazelnut, toffee, and toast aromas to brighten the work day. Robust, clean, and dry, this porter will deliver what you need, right on time. *Available in 500ml refillable bottles
Fa La La La La Winter Ale

Centennial hops take the reins with evergreen and ripe citrus, with a resounding chorus of Pilsner, Crystal, and Red X malts echoing the refrain. This IPA is full of love, goodwill, and is as crisp as a bluebird winter morning. Peace, love, and beers! *Available in 12oz refillable bottles 6-packs
