The Winter Holidays are ON and American craft brewers are addressing things with an exciting roster of new beers you’re gonna want to have around as things increasingly festive.

Dankness Done Right (Portland, OR) – Von Ebert Brewing just  released, the third in a series of three spin-off recipes of its signature, award-winning Volatile Substance Northwest IPA, a truly great IPA.

Part of the brewery’s Volatile Substance Varietal Series, Von Ebert Saturated Substance NW IPA is a dank 6.9% ABV American India Pale Ale with bright notes dark berry, pine and diesel notes, and an aroma reminiscent of a cannabis dispensary.

“We’re excited to introduce three new varietals to celebrate our award-winning Volatile Substance Northwest IPA. These releases are Where Tradition Meets Evolution, shaking things up while staying true to the bold hop flavors and aromas that define our flagship IPA,” said Sam Pecoraro, brewmaster of Von Ebert Brewing. “We’ve taken our Northwest IPA even farther into NW territory with the addition of cannabis-inspired terpenes, giving it an aroma and flavor reminiscent of your favorite dispensary.”
