Migration Brewing Releases Their New 503 IPA

        Migration’s 503 IPA RELEASE
          An Assertive IPA With A Touch of Finesse

503 IPA: Migration Brewing is proud to announce the release of our summer IPA, the 503 IPA. After mulling over what to name this complex IPA we decided to give credit to the city that has embraced us so well. The name was decided when recalling how the group of mechanics who owned our building for 30+ years explained that Migration’s geographic location is the dead center of Portland. True or not, we have embraced this story within our business as we open our doors to patrons within all walks of life. The 503 IPA will be released Friday May 17th and will be available all day, a perfect way to start your weekend.

503 IPA
Migration presents this seasonal IPA that will splash your senses with notes of lemon, grapefruit, and tropical nuances. Generously hopped with Ahtunum, Meridian, and Sorachi Ace hops provide a depth of complexity to this assertive yet approachable IPA. It’s an IPA, drink it!

ABV: 7.3%
IBU: 80

Elysian Brewing To Release New Manic Series IPA: Space Dust


Thirteen-odd billion years ago the Universe was born in an enormous explosion that sent absolutely everything hurtling outward--all the stars and planets, Earth, the Moon, the bits that would eventually become you and me and everything we know--and don't know. Come May 1, Space Dust, the latest in the Elysian Manic IPA series, will come drifting across the cosmos to select restaurants, bars and retail establishments. More than the ocean needs the cosmic light of starglow energy, you will love this beer.



Space Dust is an (asteroid) belt of Chinook, Citra and Amarillo hops streaking across a fairly open-space grist of Northwest pale and touches of C-15 and Dextri-Pils malts. 70 IBU will deliver a good (VanAllen) belt of bitterness; 7.2% alcohol by volume keeps thrust at a medium burn; OG 16.8°P/1.068 SG if you're a Mission Control type. Space Dust will be available on draft and in 22-ounce bottles, with a cute little extra-terrestrial hop feller on the label.

New Ninkasi Releases, and Millionth Case Sold


Tomorrow, we will be selling our one-millionth (that’s right!) case of beer through Maletis, our Portland distributor. While we are excited to reach this mark in such a short amount of time, we are reminded of the overwhelming and continuous support of the retailers, the people who drink craft beer, and our distributor in Portland who have all contributed to building a strong craft beer community!

Along with our friends at Maletis, members of our Ninkasi family will help deliver the one-millionth case to an account in Portland – and we’ll be inviting any and all Ninkasi beer drinkers to join us in celebration as we raise a glass to the wonderful beer community! Specific location will be announced tomorrow on our Facebook and Twitter pages, so stay tuned!

And now on to the releases….
