The lovely Missus Me suggested we go to the Oregon Brewers Festival this weekend. I thought about it for a while and decided, "Why not?".

It's all summer beers. IPAs, Pale Ales, Session Ales, Saisons, Berliner Weisse's, etc...

Drake's is going to be there, but not with Aroma Coma, but with a beer called 7x70 IPA. Anybody know about this one? Tokens are $1 and gets you a 4 oz pour of anything. A pint will be 4 bucks. Sounds like it will be a pretty good time, right on the water front. 88 brewers.

Was my introduction to craft beer 10 years or so ago. Happened to be in Portland while it was going on. Its so inexpensive we figured why not?

7x70 IPA


Drake’s IPA. Denogginizer. Hopocalypse. Aroma Coma. Aroma Prieta. It ain’t exactly a secret that we’re kind of known for our hoppy beers. Back in September, we started experimenting with some new IPAs- all a bit leaner, hoppier and more in line with a modern, pale, unapologetically hoppy West Coast Style IPA than our classic, balanced, original IPA. The more clever of you may have made some guesses as to where we were going with that project, but if you hadn’t, we’re happy to tell you that as of April Drake’s is releasing a new, year-round IPA called 7×70 IPA (“Seven by Seventy” IPA) starting on draft only and eventually heading to store shelves near you later this year.

7×70 IPA clocks in at 7% ABV and 70 IBUs (hence the name) and starts with a citric burst from the Amarillo, El Dorado, and Citra hops in the boil. A lean malt bill that lets the hops really shine through with only 2-row and a touch of lightly toasted pale malt. The dry hop features a second boost of tropical citrus from Calypso hops, as well as a slap of pine from the Simcoes.
