Eugene, Oregon’s Oakshire Brewing has been brewing classic beer styles since 2006, but has become more known for their hazy and pastry inspired beers over the last handful of years. With their new Sum Fun IPA series, the brewery is exploring the crisper and clearer-ish beers and the ever growing world of hops and hopping techniques under a STEM-inspired concept. Each IPA in the series promises a burst of hops but will rotate monthly and take inspiration from both West Coast, PNW, and even modern Cold IPA’s to name a few of the soon to be releases.

More from a press release:

The STEM fields - science, technology, engineering, and mathematics - are each  essential to the brewing processes. Sum Fun seeks to celebrate these disciplines and will use them to  inspire and inform a varying crisp and hoppy IPA at the first of each month.  

“The Sum Fun series gives us the chance to do what we do best – experiment with different hop  combinations to produce fresh and inspired beers,” says Dan Russo, Oakshire’s Director of Brewing  Operations. Dan goes on to say, “Giving a nod to science through our products is not something we get  to do every day!” 

The first release in the Sum Fun series is Fibonacci Sequence. It will be available on draft and in 16-ounce  4-Pack cans in Oakshire’s two taproom locations and at craft beer specialty retailers throughout Oregon,  starting the first week of November. A beer for math lovers and hopheads alike, the introduction of  Simcoe and Mosaic hop oil to Fibonacci Sequence adds a depth of citrus zest, sweet fruit, and pine hop  flavor. Yakima-grown Sultana brings notes of fresh pineapple and bright citrus. The first dry-hop of  Simcoe and Columbus imparts extra notes of pine and resin. A second dry-hop of Mosaic and Strata adds  layers of berries, tropical fruit, and dank herb. Adding new layers of flavor at every stage, this 6.5% ABV  IPA is best when kept cold and enjoyed fresh.
