Outer southeast Portland's Level Beer is releasing a new beer called Fire Flower NW Red Ale this Thursday, 3/5 at John's Marketplace. Fire Flower is a hoppy red ale, a balanced beer with more bready malts than today's IPA's and a herbal, citrusy and floral hop flavor reminiscent of days past. The Level Beer crew filled the hop-back on this one though, so a big punch of hop flavor and aroma will counter those caramel malts.

The Fire Flower release party this Thursday runs from 4:00PM - 7:00PM in SW Portland's Multnomah Village neighborhood at John's 3535 SW Multnomah Blvd, Portland, OR 97219.  Fire Flower will be available in 4-pack 16oz cans and is 6.3% ABV. There will be deals with each 4-pack purchase along with a chance to win Portland Trailblazer tickets during the release event!

Fire Flower will be available in both package and draft with broader distribution around Portland, the state of Oregon and Southwest Washington.
