Baerlic Brewing (Portland) is releasing three cans today—a Trifecta: “The next one is a doozie! Three, count em, three canned beers dropping Tuesday, May 14th at 4pm at our southeast Portland Brewery & Taproom. Acid Drop Dry-Hopped Sour: Heavily hopped with Citra, El Dorado and Vic’s Secret for a mind-bendingly amount of quince, lemon and kumquat, overripe mango and sweet fruity candy in a crushable beer! Best version yet by a long shot! All Seeing IPA – Back by insanely popular demand. All Seeing IPA is a reminder that we must first be guided by the ancients as we push further and further into the unknown. Hazy? Yes. Juicy? Yes. Bitter? Yes. All Seeing IPA is all of these things and nothing at all. Heavily dosed with Mosaic, Simcoe and Vic Secret hops. Rose City Park Pale Ale: A loving shout out to our beloved second home in the Rose City Park of northeast Portland, RCP is a classic American Pale Ale brewed with Cascade and Centennial hops for a delicate dance of fresh grapefruit and Spring flowers. More than overtly an homage to the beer that started all this craft beer mumbo jumbo!”
