NorCal Hops Invasion

California’s Bear Republic’s HopFest hits Portland, Oregon with some phenomenal hoppy brews.

Mountain Peoples Wine & Beer Distribution is proud to debut “Bear Republic HopFest” in Oregon this month. Three notable beer bars in Portland will participate by hosting a special event featuring four very rare, hoppy Bear Republic Beers on draught side by side. The first two beers noted below have never been available in Oregon. The final beer, “Rebellion” is the most recent release of their single hop series featuring the long awaited Citra Hop. All of these are limited release, draught only beers.

Bear Republic HopFest Beers:

“11”

11 is a double IPA brewed with a blend of American and English malts, our house strain of Scottish ale yeast, and incredible quantities of Amarillo and Summit hops. We think you’ll agree that this beer goes to 11. 8.2% ABV IBU: 100+ Color: Copper

Five Zero

Five Zero is the first in a series of brews based on recipes from the early days of Bear Republic Brewing Company. Brewed using an early IPA recipe (batch 50!), this brew’s humble beginning became the base for several E-ticket brews in our current lineup, Apex and Racer X. Take a sip of our past and rediscover the future. 7.7% ABV IBU: 80 Color: Deep Gold

Strong IPA-Apex is crafted with a blend of American and English malts and aggressively hopped with Pacific Northwest hops, this beer reflects what our brewers believe to be the Apex of IPA. ABV: 7.5% IBU: 100+ Color: Light Copper
