Sunriver Brewing Co. hosted a collaboration brew with Von Ebert Brewing at its production facility for a beer that is slated to be released in late February. The beer that both breweries developed is Prospectivus IPA. This IPA showcases a love for all things hoppy. Bursting with complexity, this beer has a distinct resinous pine backbone with layers of berries, peaches and tropical fruit. The hops being showcased in this IPA are Simcoe, Mosaic, Columbus, Galaxy and Mosaic Cryo. The beers stats are 7.5 percent ABV and 80 IBU’s.
“Both brewing teams have a love for all things hoppy,” says Brett Thomas, director of Brewing Operations for Sunriver Brewing Co. “The result of this shared vision is an absolutely killer West Coast IPA that has the perfect balance of dank and tropical hop character. This collaboration was a tremendous effort from two of Oregon’s award-winning independent craft breweries.”
“To the Von Ebert Brewing team, collaborations are about innovation, reflection, the sharing of information and, most importantly, making friends and having fun,” says Samuel Pecoraro, head Brewer of Von Ebert’s Pearl. “We can’t think of many breweries we’d rather do all of those things with than Sunriver Brewing, an elite player in America’s IPA scene. A West Coast IPA was a natural choice — notable bitterness and aggressive flavor/aroma laid over a complementary grain bill are all concepts we love to get behind.”
Prospectivus IPA will be released in Oregon at all three of Sunriver Brewing’s pubs and at Von Ebert’s Pearl location in late February. Outside of the brewery’s pubs, release events are scheduled in Portland at the Lombard House on February 19 and in Bend at On Tap on February 21.
