The latest big Gigantic Brewing release is Hipster Cowboy IPA, a collaboration with Baker City’s esteemed Barley Brown’s Beer.A Hipster Cowboy is a cool kid meets country boy collaboration inspired by the big skies and Bloodshot Records.

This cowboy kicks higher than most for Gigantic’s First Taste Tuesday on July 18th, where they release a new beer tapped at both their original southeast Champagne Lounge location and the newish Robot Room on NE Glisan. Hipster Cowboy IPA will be both a draft beer and bottled in 16.9oz packaging to-go.

“We each brought our own unique styles to form a true Oregonian IPA, representing both east and west, cowboy and hipster”, says Gigantic Brewmaster Ben Love.

Gigantic teamed up with their friends from Barley Browns to lasso the finest Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops on god’s green earth to make this IPA. This awesome blend of citrus hops, touch of tropical fruit, with a little bit of pine is just what your summer tap list desires. Hipster Cowboy is a laid back, effortlessly cool brew best enjoyed on your back porch or front stoop.

Gigantic has had the pleasure of working with artist Ben Walker many times over the years. You might remember him from the Catch 23 Experimental IPA label and the brewery’s collaboration with Boneyard called We Don’t Need No Stinking Hops. When he’s not designing beer labels, he is creating show posters for comedians like Dana Gould and Maria Bamford, he is creating animation for the Adam Carolla show, and painting original portraits for several comedians from the legendary Cobb’s Comedy Club in San Francisco.
