Von Ebert Brewing Collaborates with Russian River Brewing on Two 7th Anniversary Beers
As Von Ebert Brewing approaches its seventh anniversary this month, it has recently collaborated with one of the most decorated breweries around, Russian River Brewing. The two breweries came together here in North Portland to brew two special beers, 7th Anniversary Pilsner German-Style Pilsner and 7th Anniversary West Coast IPA.
“While we make award-winning beer in many styles, it made sense for us to stick with what we’re most known for – German-style Pilsners and West Coast IPAs,” said Sam Pecoraro, brewmaster of Von Ebert Brewing. “Von Ebert Brewing is always looking to produce beers ‘where tradition meets evolution’ and so these collaborations are a perfect way to celebrate us doing that for seven years.”
The 7th Anniversary Pilsner is brewed with Diamant, U.S. Mittlefruh, and Saphir Hops and Weyermann Premium Pilsner, and Canada Malting Premium Pils Malts. The result is a Pils will floral and citrus notes that sits at a sessionaable 5% ABV.
When it comes to the 7th Anniversary West Coast IPA, this one utilizes a malt bill of Rahr Premium Pilsner and hop bill of Citra, Strata, Nectaron, and Riwaka. Expect notes of ime, guava, passionfruit and strawberry in this 6.8% ABV beer.
Both beers will be available at all Von Ebert Brewing locations in draft and 16 oz cans, as well as in some Northwest retailers, restaurants and bars. And here are some tap takeover events featuring both beers:
- Thursday, April 24, 5:30 to close, at Cascadia Taphouse, 13619 NW Cornell Road, Portland, OR
- Thursday, May 1, 4 p.m. to close, at Moon & Sixpence, 2014 NE 42nd Ave, Portland, OR
“I was excited to get the call from Sam to come to Portland to brew with the Von Ebert Brewing team just days after they opened their amazing new tasting room on N. Mississippi,” said Vinnie Cilurzo, co-owner of Russian River Brewing Company. “We both have a deep love and passion for craft beer so I’m very proud of what turned out to be some amazing collaborations.”
Then to keep Von Ebert’s 7th anniversary continuing all yearlong, Von Ebert Brewing’s N. Mississippi location will have 20 oz. Clubhaus Lager steins for $3 all day, and $5 pints of Volatile Substance NW IPA Monday- Friday from noon to 5 p.m.
Cheers to 7 years!
