Ferment Brewing Goes West Coast on Bright West IPA
Here in the Pacific Northwest, one beer style that will continue to be held dearly is the West Coast IPA. The latest version of this beer style arrives from Ferment Brewing out of scenic Hood River, Oregon. Its new West Coast IPA, Bright West IPA, is the brewery’s latest year-round beer and is available now on draft and in 12 ounce, 6-pack cans.
“We’ve been drinking a lot of West Coast IPA and are thrilled that people are turning back to the style,” said Ferment Brewing Brewmaster Dan Peterson, in a press release. “We’ve brewed numerous West Coast IPAs as rotating seasonals but knew we wanted to have one in the year round lineup. So we started dialing in a new recipe and landed on one that showcases and balances a bold blend of classic Pacific Northwest hops.”
Bright West IPA is brewed with Centennial, Cascade, Mosaic, and Idaho 7 hops for a juicy, fresh-cut pine and grapefruit zest character with a touch of rose blossom and a balanced bitterness. It sits at 6.5% ABV.
Bright West IPA replaces Crystal Kingdom Hazy IPA, in the year round lineup and joins Hana Pils, 12° Czech Pils, and Lost in Fragaria Strawberry Sour Ale. The beer is available in independent bottle shops and grocery stores across Oregon and Washington.
