Vertigo Brewing, 54°40′ Brewing & Crosby Hop Farm Amarillo Fresh Hop IPA Release
‘Tis the season for hops as the regions hop harvest continues while more and more fresh hop beers get released. Vertigo Brewing in Hillsboro will be releasing its fresh hop beer that was a three way collaboration that was brewed with 54°40′ Brewing and Beau Evers from Crosby Hop Farm. The release will coincide with the Hillsboro Hops Northwest League South Division Playoff Series Game 3 (if necessary) on Wednesday, September 9. Amarillo Fresh Hop IPA will be tapped at 4:00pm when Vertigo’s Taproom opens.
This collaborative Amarillo Fresh Hop IPA was brewed for Evers entry into the Willamette Week’s Beer Pro/Am that will take place in Portland on October 3. Brew day came early when the brewers gathered at Vertigo Brewing for a double brew session that began bright and early at 4:00am. This IPA used freshly picked Amarillo hops from Crosby Hop Farms that Evers personally delivered directly from the farm.
