Zupan’s Markets has been collaborating with Oregon breweries on their in-house farm to market series and the 8th and latest is Double Mountain Brewery's Farm-To-Market IPA. Featuring the BottleDrop Refillable bottle, this package is made and reused in Oregon. Created with ingredients from the Pacific Northwest, this IPA includes notes of tropical fruit and kind herb for a perfect mix of sustainability and drinkability.

More from a press release:

“Zupan’s Markets is excited to continue to bring our customers exclusive beer creations in partnership with the best local craft breweries,” said Zupan’s Markets’ President and CEO Mike Zupan. “We are proud to be working with Double Mountain Brewery to bring a delicious spring IPA featuring a sustainable package.”

Made of thick-walled glass which protects the beer from light, this bottle is the most sustainable choice in the beer aisle. Return this bottle to any BottleDrop facility. Or return the bottle to any Double Mountain Taproom or Brewery and Double Mountain will buy you a pint (limit 1 pint per customer per day.)  

This IPA is currently on shelves at all three Zupan’s Markets locations in 500 ml bottles for $5.99. With only 150 cases produced, this beer will only be on shelves for a limited time.

“We enjoy working with companies that we like. And we like Zupan’s a lot” said Matt Swihart, Founder of Double Mountain Brewery. “Our shared mission to provide the best products for our customers made this partnership a great fit.”

Profile: ABV 7.5%, IBU 65
Malts: Pilsner, Wheat, Crystal 15 
Hops: Simcoe and Strata in the kettle, Simcoe hop back and Strata dry hop
Yeast: Abbey
Tasting Notes: The grain bill keeps it light enough to let the hops shine. Heaps of tropical fruit and citrus leap out of the nose and continue through, combining with an enticing dank, kind herb characteristic Strata is famous for, as well as Simcoe’s rainforest pine and ripe strawberry.
