Iron Horse Brewery Presents: The Fresh-To-Death Bottle Only Series
A seasonal series starting with GARY, an Imperial IPA.
Press Release:
ELLENSBURG, WA (March 25th, 2015)
Iron Horse Brewery is introducing a brand-spankin'-new bottle only beer series entitled Fresh-To-Death.They are kicking-off the series with GARY, an Imperial IPA of insurmountable hoppiness. Gary is a busy man, but he will make his face available to you from April until June, and then he will be away on some exotic vacation. Gary in a bottle is much like prince albert in a can, except in beer form, and much better. “Gary feels really good on your lips and in your mouth, you should definitely experience this at least once in your life, or more, because it’s good. So why would you limit yourself?” said Greg Parker, Owner and GM of Iron Horse Brewery. “Gary made the cut for the Fresh-To-Death track because this beer defines what it means to be ‘fresh-to-death’ which is a term that describes something ‘that is so good it is unexplainable’, according to UrbanDictionary, which is why it is impossible to explain how good it is, obviously.” commented Parker.
Release and Availability
As the first in the Fresh-To-Death series, Iron Horse Brewery will release Gary Imperial IPA exclusively in 22oz glass bottles sometime around the first week of April and it will be available until June.The beer will be released in select markets around Washington state.Following GARY, will be either a Fresh Hop Red or an Imperial Amber or maybe none of those. Quarter 4, however will bring back Cozy Sweater, Iron Horse Brewery’s vanilla milk stout, which had limited production in 2014.
Hoppy and you know it
Gary Imperial IPA is sure to be a charmer, the hops provide a citrus flavor with pine and grapefruit swagger. It brags a clean malt profile with a honey and grassy flavor which balances the bitterness. “This beer is warm and fuzzy just like Gary; this beer also delivers a strong aroma and a good punch--just like Gary,” said Tyson Read, Head Brewer of Iron Horse Brewery. “This is true, my nose and taste buds confirmed it,”quipped Ross Chalstrom, Interloper of Press Release Quotes.

BRIDGEPORT BREWING LAUNCHES YEAR-LONG HOP CZAR IPA SERIES
PORTLAND, Ore.—February 25, 2014 —BridgePort Brewing Company, Oregon’s oldest craft brewery, has added a new Hop Czar IPA Series
to its lineup of handcrafted brews. The original Hop Czar Imperial IPA, first
released in 2008 as a limited edition brew, was an adventurous and boldly hop-centric
brew for BridgePort. But as the enthusiasm of hop-happy beer drinkers grew, it quickly
proved to be much more than a niche ale. Hop Czar soon became the brewery’s
co-flagship beer. Inspired by the original Hop Czar’s legacy of
experimentation, the Hop Czar IPA series will feature three hop-forward craft beers,
each brewed in Portland and released sequentially throughout the year. “The original
Hop Czar was born out of experimentation, pushing the limits of hoppy flavor
and aroma,” said Jeff Edgerton, BridgePort’s Brewmaster. “With the new Hop Czar
IPA Series, my brewers and I have the chance to continue experimenting with the
Willamette Valley’s incredible hop varietals to create three new and innovative
IPAs this year.”
The first
offering in the series is the Citra Dry-Hopped IPA that showcases the intense
aroma and flavor of the Citra hop varietal. This new brew adds a
decidedly American twist to a British original, combining the
complexity of English malts with a heavy dose of Citra hops from Oregon’s
Willamette Valley.
While Edgerton
and his team of brewers will create three adventurously hoppy IPAs in the
spirit of the Hop Czar Imperial IPA, it doesn’t mean that the original recipe is
gone for good. Edgerton continued: “It may return in its original incarnation,
slightly modified, or completely overhauled. It all depends on what we learn
from our experiments with other regional hop varietals and how our fans respond
to the new ales.”
About Citra Czar
IBUs: 60 ABV:
6.5% SRM: 20 OG: 15.6

Dry-hopped IPA is a smooth and approachable ale, featuring a range of complex
background flavors.
