Double Mountain Brewery & Taproom readies the release of its latest year-round beer offering with its Hop Lion IPA. The official release party will take place on Wednesday, May 24th in Portland from 5:00-8:00pm at Bunk Bar that’s located at 1028 SE Water Avenue.
“We’ve been experimenting with various hop varieties and techniques for over a year on this new year-round IPA,” states Matt Swihart, Double Mountain Brewmaster in a statement. “I’m not sure what I like better; the beer or its inspirations of the vibe.”
