Away Days Brewing collaboration with Seattle’s LTD Sushi and Bottleworks
Portland’s Away Days Brewing is collaborating with iconic Seattle bottle shop/beer bar Bottleworks, and Seattle’s new best restaurant Ltd Edition Sushi, as voted by Seattle Times. In honor of cherry blossom season in the pacific northwest, Away Days had created a limited-run Japanese Rice Lager.
The lager celebrates the partnership and friendship that the Portland brewery has formed with the two Seattle businesses, and will be served at both locations starting April 1st, 2023.
“All three camps are lovers of lagers so we landed on a Japanese Rice Lager for this brew,” says Away Days co-owner Niki Diamond. “We started with one of our favorite malts, Bohemian Pilsner, for an expressive but clean base. A large addition of rice in the beer added a dry and crisp character, difficult to achieve with barley alone. In the kettle we used Saaz hops for an assertive bitterness and the unique spice that only Saaz can provide. We ended the boil with a charge of Huell Melon to bring some bright freshness to celebrate the blooming cherry blossoms here in the Pacific Northwest. Lagered cold for an extended period, this beer is ready to be paired with a sushi dinner, drank at your favorite bottle shop in Wallingford, or in a can for whatever adventure awaits.”
The can design pulls inspiration from minimal Japanese streetwear with a pop of color and warmth drawn from cherry blossoms and classic Japanese lanterns.
A limited merch drop will include a Long sleeve tee and branded DJ slip mats (an homage to LTD Edition owners previous career as a DJ).
