Hopworks releases Strawberry Haze Forever, Sunset Fuel IPA and Totally Chill Hazy IPA

Hopworks Urban Brewery (HUB), the first B Corp brewery in the Pacific Northwest, has three new beers in cans and draft to delight just about any type of hophead. The limited time releases include Strawberry Haze Forever, Sunset Fuel IPA, and the returning seasonal Totally Chill Hazy IPA.

Strawberry Haze Forever is a beer brewed in partnership with Sauvie Island’s Bella Organic Farms. This Hazy IPA is packed with fresh strawberries from Bella and is currently only available at Hopworks two locations (SE Powell Blvd in PDX and Vancouver, WA pub) as well as the Bella Farm stand on Sauvie Island. Strawberry Haze will be pouring next Saturday the 26th at the McMenamin’s Edgefield Brewfest where it will likely send fest goers on a hunt for cans around town. Strawberry Haze Forever will run through Bella’s U-Pick berry season and will go away in the fall to be replaced by Great Gourds of Fire Pumpkin Ale.

Strawberry Haze Forever is brewed with 200lbs of fresh strawberries, hopped with Belma and Enigma, with 2-row, malted wheat, and rolled oats. 6% ABV and 35 IBUs. Available only on draft and in 16oz cans this summer.

Sunset Fuel IPA is a summer seasonal brewed in partnership with the Portland Pet Food Company who makes dog biscuits with Hopworks’ spent grain. Starting June 16, Hopworks will carry the biscuits throughout the summer and donate 100% of profits to benefit PAW Team, a local nonprofit that provides veterinary care to the pets of people experiencing houselessness or extreme poverty. 

 

“We’re stoked to partner with PAW Team and Portland Pet Food Company this summer,” said Matt Sutherland, Brand Manager at Hopworks. “What better way to release a beer than with tons of dogs, sustainable dog biscuits, and a nonprofit partner that does incredible work for the community?” 

With a hoppy nose of tropical fruits and fresh-squeezed oranges, this sunset sipper is round-bodied with notes of pinesap, ripe mangos, and creamsicle. 6.2% ABV. 20 IBU. Sunset Fuel IPA is available on tap and in 16 oz. 4-packs ($12.00) at both the Powell Mothership, 2944 SE Powell Blvd. in Portland, and HUB Vancouver, 17707 SE Mill Plain Blvd., Vancouver, Washington. 

 

Totally Chill Hazy IPA is Hopworks official seasonal of the summer and a favorite from years past.

 

“There’s nothing like finishing a long day of mountain biking in the sun and cracking open a can of Totally Chill,” Christian Ettinger, Founder and Brewmaster at Hopworks, said from atop his bike. “We designed this beer with summer in mind and hope it becomes your sunset sipper this season!” 

 

Loaded with Azacca, Mosaic, and El Dorado hops, this bright summer Hazy IPA has intense notes of pineapple and mango suspended in a super cloudy body. 6.0% ABV. 45 IBU. Totally Chill is available on tap and in 12 oz 6-packs at independent grocers and both the Powell Mothership, 2944 SE Powell Blvd., and HUB Vancouver, 17707 SE Mill Plain Blvd., Vancouver, Washington.
