Double Mountain releases Ol' Greg IPA in new Experimental Series

Hood River, Oregon's Double Mountain Brewery and Cidery has debuted the first beer in a new experimental IPA series with Ol' Greg IPA. Launched as a rotating 3-part seasonal series, Ol' Greg IPA is a way to push the brew team out of their comfort zones and try novel ingredients or techniques.

Ol' Greg is the first of three distinct IPA’s with aromas of spiced fruit and black currant swim in a sea of all things that are good. Ol’ Greg is available in refillable 500ml bottles and on draft at Double Mountain's Hood River Taproom, SE Portland Taproom in the Woodstock neighborhood, and at fine establishments throughout the Northwest.

“Do ya love me? Could ya learn to love me? Old world meets new with a Pacific NW IPA brewed with English hops and yeast. Big, bitter, and delicious.” Greg Balch, Head Brewer

Ol’ Greg is a reference to a sketch from The Mighty Boosh, if you haven’t seen it yet, watch it a few times. Its disturbing, hilarious, and often quoted round the brewery.

A little insight into the label inspiration: Complimenting this delicious experimental series, each beer’s label highlights the benefits of using refillable bottles. The carbon footprint of refillable bottles is vastly lower than other container choices, making it the best container for the environment. Add the benefit of reduced oxidation, and refillable bottles are better for the beer too. This beer is electric, perhaps more than the electric vehicles of the future.
