Hopworks 2021 Beer Lineup May Be Its Best

 

“We are so excited to release what I think is the best lineup of beers in our 13-year history.” – Christian Ettinger, Hopworks Founder

2020, an unprecedented year is now thankfully over and Hopworks Urban Brewery (HUB) is addressing the new year with an expansive roster of offerings that we’ve got to admit is pretty damned impressive.

The Pacific Northwest’s first B Corp brewery has expansive plans for 2021 with highlights that include a new year-round organic porter, a new line of Imperial IPAs inspired from its award-winning Ace of Spades, and the return of several favorites that its fans have been begging for.

2021 will also mark the first time that the Portland, Oregon-based brewery, renowned for its commitment to sustainable brewing and hop-forward instincts, will be offering brewery flagships like Robot Panda Hazy IPA and Powell Cryo IPA in uber-gracious 19.2-ounce cans.

“We are so excited to release what I think is the best lineup of beers in our 13-year history,” Hopworks Founder and Brewmaster Christian Ettinger told American Craft Beer.

 “As a brewery full of hopheads, our new formulations are so tasty that I can’t wait for all of our fans to try every single beer in 2021. From fruited sours to Imperial IPAs and organic lager to organic porter, we’ve got all the flavor profiles covered!”

And here’s just some of what they’ve planned for this year…

Seasonal Beer

Classics like Hopworks’ summer seasonal Totally Chill Hazy IPA and winter seasonal Abominable Winter Ale will return in 2021, along with its spring seasonal Juicy Bear IPA, which will see its second run in February.

Come fresh-hop season, Fresh Hop Abominable will also return with even fresher Centennial hop flavor.

Ace Series

Building off the success of its award-winning Ace of Spades, Hopworks is launching a new line of imperial IPAs in 2021 called the Ace Series.

The Ace Series will feature the return of Ace of Spades IIPA, Fresh Hop Ace of Spades IIPA, Joker Hazy IIPA, and Ace of Diamonds Black IIPA.

And to keep things sexy HUB will be introducing two new additions to the series in 2021, Ace of Clubs IIPA in January and Ace of Hearts IIPA in May.

Hoppy Series

Hopworks’ commitment to hops will be further unbridled in 2021, starting in February with a brand new Dank IPA named Giggle Nuggets, followed by cult classics Pig War Hazy IPA and Evelyn Sunshine IPA.

A twist on Hopworks big hit in 2020, Upstream Salmon-Safe IPA will be released as a fresh-hop beer before the year closes out with a re-release of Sunset Fuel Hazy IPA, named after the building where Hopworks’ Powell Mothership opened, and Critical Juncture, a fresh IPA release.

Fruited Sour Series

After a sour year of sour beers, Hopworks has created a new lineup of sours to complement its returning pumpkin ale, Great Gourds of Fire.
