Last week a surprise packaged arrived at the doorstep, a bottle of Sally Can Wait Dark Export Lager from Double Mountain Brewery. It’s the first seasonal beer of 2022 for the brewery, and this year the seasonal lineup is going to include scannable QR codes on the bottles that will open to a Spotify playlist featuring music that inspired the beer.

Here’s the press release that accompanied the beer:

Slip inside the eye of your mind. Don’t you know you might find, a better place to play… and drink. Double Mountain is excited to release the first seasonal of 2022, Sally Can Wait – Dark Export Lager. The lager brings refreshment. Light, dry, and crisp, this lager goes through verses of marmalade and lemongrass, hitting the chorus with heavy power chords of biscuit, country load, and nostalgia. Sally Can Wait is available in refillable 500ml bottles and on draft at our Hood River Taproom, SE Portland Taproom in the Woodstock neighborhood, and at fine establishments throughout the Northwest.

With each beer in our 2022 seasonal lineup, you will notice a Spotify QR code on the right sidebar, below the refillable bottle information. Open up Spotify, click on the search bar, and use the camera button that is located in the search bar. From there, scan the code and your app will take you to a playlist with music that inspired the beer, created by Double Mountain brewers specifically for each release. Happy listening.

“I don’t know if I had more fun fine-tuning the recipe or going down the rabbit hole and looking through songs for the playlist (find a Spotify playlist on the bottle). Crack one open, put on some tunes, and transport yourself to a different time. Don’t look back in anger!” Matt Coughlin, Lead Brewer

I’ll drink, listen, and review soon.
