Killer Green, Fresh Hop IPA

Description: It’s harvest time! Sodbuster Farms in the Willamette Valley graced us with some beautiful Brewers Gold and Simcoe hops straight from the vine. Fresh, bright evergreen, red fruit and blood orange lead the way, pulling juicy pine and kind herb in tow through the finish. Be green. Drink Killer Green. 7.6% ABV, 95 BU

Killer Red, Fresh Hop IRA

Description: Hops from Sodbuster Farms in the Willamette Valley are picked, transported, and put in to the brew within two hours. The exorbitant amount of fresh Perle and Centennial whole leaf hops heaped in to the kettle and hop back give this juiced up IRA a wonderful ripe apple, dank forest, and fruited pine flavors and aromas. 7.3% ABV, 78 BUAbout Double Mountain Brewery and Taproom: Double Mountain Brewery and Taproom was established in 2007 in the heart of downtown Hood River, OR.
