Full Sail and Double Mountain release new summer brews

Two of Hood River's favorite breweries introduce tasty new summer beers in Portland.

Wednesday marked the release of Double Mountain's first ever summer seasonal, a pilsner. The kick-off took place at Henry's 12th Street Tavern in Portland, Oregon, where giveaways and good times where enjoyed.

"Our first summer seasonal, Double Mountain Pils is a true lager, featuring a Czech yeast strain and six to eight weeks of aging. The malt bill is predominately Gambrinus Organic Pilsner malt, with a dash of imported German Vienna malt. The hops are 100% Sterlings, grown locally in the Yakima Valley.

Stylistically speaking, Double Mountain Pils will combine the upfront hoppy attack of a distinctive German-style pils with the slightly richer malt body often found in the Czech beers. Our Pils will be calibrated to the Northwest palate (translation = more hops!) and, as with all Double Mountain beers, will be served unfiltered."

Full Sail, similarly has released a summer brew on Tuesday, July 8th @ their Pilsner Room on Portland's southwest waterfront. The beer is a hazy, full-bodied summer weizen beer brewed in their Brewers Share series. The Brewers Share series is in celebration of Full Sail's 21st birthday. Cheers to beers!
