Today’s #BeerAdventCalendar pick strays (slightly) from the Christmas theme, because it’s my birthday! And my tradition is to choose a “birthday” #beer for the day, one that I’d like to drink and share. This year I’m keeping it local with #SunriverBrewing, which has a line of barrel-aged beers in its Wood Series, and in particular one fit for a birthday: Chocolate Ice Cream Imperial Stout.

For some, it's not Spring until the next edition of #fortgeorgebeer's 3-Way has been released. This year, the brewery collaborated with #sunriverbrewing and #miragebeer to produce a West Coast. Thoughts below.

More on 3-Way IPA
Out of the can, 3-Way creates a pool of clear gold, capped with an off-white head. Receding slowly, there remains a curtain of lacing inside and on top of the pool.
Swirling and sniffing, we recover notes of tropical passionfruit and pineapple, grapefruit and orange citrus, along with some stone fruit.
Sipping, many of those flavors carry over along with some oak and pine, and subtle herb, finishing with a grapefruit peel bitterness. Overall, 3-Way has a medium mouthfeel, a noticeable alcoholic warmth, and a lingering bitterness that is subtle but present.

I haven't posted much lately, so here's a beer I enjoyed recently: We Love LA, a West Coast style pilsner, brewed by #SunriverBrewing as a wildfire relief beer. 100% of the proceeds from the beer are benefitting the Los Angeles communities affected by the devastating wildfires earlier this year. It's crisp and hoppy and worth seeking out. Cheers!

To finish out #ValentinesDay weekend it's Thorns & Udders from #SunriverBrewing, a raspberry-infused variant of the brewery's award-winning Cocoa Cow Milk Chocolate Stout. Cheers!

#SunriverBrewing is at the top of my list for #FreshHop #beer from Central Oregon, and Fresh Hop Vicious is my gold standard of the style. This year’s fresh hop version of its award-winning Vicious Mosquito IPA is brewed with Centennial CGX Fresh Hops from #CrosbyHops. These are fresh hops that are frozen at harvest and something new the brewery is trying this year. It does not disappoint! With notes of pine greens, bergamot, and wintergreen. Cheers! 🍻

The #SistersFreshHopFestival is taking place today, so I thought I'd share a few of the #CentralOregon #FreshHop beers I've enjoyed lately. #ThreeCreeksBrewing, #CruxFermentationProject, and #SunriverBrewing all have excellent fresh hop beers out this year, among my favorites so far! Cheers!
