Bright Stuff (Hood River, OR) – Ferment Brewing which opened in 2018 as a 20-barrel brewery and tasting room overlooking the Columbia River in Hood River, Oregon has a new addition that we can’t wait to get our hands on. Brewed with a smart menu of Centennial, Cascade, Mosaic, and Idaho 7 hops Ferment Bright West IPA is a 6.5% ABV West Coast-Style India Pale Ale with a juicy, fresh-cut pine and grapefruit zest character, a touch of rose blossom and a balanced bitterness.

“We’ve been drinking a lot of West Coast IPA and are thrilled that people are turning back to the style,” said Ferment Brewing Brewmaster Dan Peterson. “We’ve brewed numerous West Coast IPAs as rotating seasonals but knew we wanted to have one in the year round lineup. So we started dialing in a new recipe and landed on one that showcases and balances a bold blend of classic Pacific Northwest hops.”
