Pono Brewing Co. of Portland, OR has teamed up with a youtube backpacking show set to film in PDX this July for a collaboration beer. Nice One Summer IPA is inspired by both SoCal IPA’s and the new Cold IPA trend for a citrusy but bold and light hop flavor forward IPA with Sabro, Azacca, Mosaic and Citra hops.

Hopping: The Backpacking Beer Adventure, is a YouTube beer adventure series hosted by Kenny Flannery, is filming it's season 2 finale in Portland this July.

To celebrate the end of the shoot, Kenny collaborated with Portland's Pono Brewing Company and will release Nice One at a special event at The Golden Cat Beer Venue at 2pm on Saturday, July 3, 2021.

In 2007, Kenny quit his corporate job and has been hitchhiking and backpacking around the US and the world for the last 14 years. At the end of 2019, he was joined by childhood friend and filmmaker Nick Noyes for Season 1 of Hopping. They hitchhiked Through Nevada, Arizona and California, filming episodes at some of the best breweries along the way. Season 2 is currently filming in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon.

Kenny will also be celebrating in Portland by attempting to visit as many breweries as possible, in one day, ON FOOT. He will be joined by local beer adventurer John Lovegrove, who visited 77 breweries in one day in 2015.
