Double Mountain Brewing releases dark and hoppy winter seasonals

Winter and holiday seasonal beers and ciders are filling the holes left by fresh hop, pumpkin, and Oktoberfest . Hood River and Portland, Oregon’s Double Mountain Brewing has two returning favorites, one a newer addition and the other a bonafide Pacific northwest classic: Hey, Porter! Robust Porter and the always-anticipated Fa La La La La Winter Ale, both of which are designed to bring a little warmth this season.

Hey, Porter! Robust Porter is the kind of old school pub favorite that doesn’t get made that often anymore. No spices, no amped up flavorings or extreme alcohol, just a nice cozy winter companion. Its dark garnet-black pour invites you to slow down, settle in, and savor the season. The style brings a comforting roastiness reminiscent of a warm hearth, with aromas of coffee, toasted hazelnuts, and rich toffee, flavors that pair perfectly with a wool blanket, a good book, or a fireside chat. 

The Fa La La La La Winter Ale is perfect for festive gatherings, slow walks through frosty streets, or quiet moments by the fire. With Centennial hops at the forefront, this IPA fills the nose with vibrant notes of evergreen, pine, and citrus zest, all scents that evoke crisp winter mornings and holiday cheer. A refined malt bill, including Pilsner, Crystal, and Red X, creates a ruby-hued body that’s rich in color but light in mouthfeel, letting the hops shine without overwhelming the palate. Late and dry hop additions give this ale a lively, aromatic lift, while a crisp, lingering bitterness balances the sweetness of the malts, making it a beer that encourages conversation, laughter, and sharing.

Enjoy these seasonal releases at all Double Mountain Taprooms or look for them on draft and in bottles throughout the Northwest throughout the season.
