The HoptoberFest PDX Block Party celebration will honor BridgePort’s 2018 HoptoberFest IPA Fresh Hop Beer. Here’s a brewery provided description of this hoppy Märzen style beer.
HoptoberFest IPA Fresh Hop Beer:
This year we are changing gears and making a malty Marzen beer base first. We use Pilsner and Munich malts to create a rich, malty, Marzen-style base. We ferment this with our German lager yeast. We allow this to ferment for a few days then we dry-hop generously with fresh Centennial, Amarillo, and Mt. Hood hops to create a unique fresh hop flavor like no other. ABV: 7.0%, IBU’s: 40
