From Harvester Brewing:
90 IBU ~6.8% ABV
IPA No. 2 is Harvester Brewing's new, aggressively hoppy, IPA. It is a different turn for Harvester as it incorporates organic buckwheat in lieu of the chestnuts used in all of Harvester's previous brews.
Harvester Brewing owner and head of R&D James Neumeister said, "We also decided to put all of the 'hoppiest gluten-free beer' claims to rest for now with this beer by using over a pound per BBL of high alpha acid Newports and bright, citrusy Crystal hops from the Willamette Valley." The result is 90 IBUs of intense hoppy bitterness and a strong hop aroma loaded with grapefruit, pineapple, and lemongrass.
We'll be having our IPA No. 2 Release Party at the brewery this Saturday, June 29th from 12 to 6pm. There will be a rare brewery-only opportunity to have some IPA No. 2 on draft as well as tastes and pours of our entire lineup.
Bottles of IPA No. 2 will be rolling out to stores over the next couple weeks and will be available for purchase at our online store (http://store.harvesterbrewing.com/) this Thursday.
Certified Gluten-Free You may have noticed the GF certification logo in the lower right corner of the IPA No. 2 label above. To achieve this certification, we worked with the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO), a program of the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG).
From the GFCO website:
The GF logo stands for the independent verification of quality, integrity, and purity of products. Products carrying the GF logo represents unmatched reliability and for meeting strict gluten-free standards. GFCO is the leading gluten-free certification program in the world.
At Harvester, we've held ourselves to strict gluten-free standards and practices since our inception, not allowing any gluten to pass through the doors of our brewery. We're pleased to now carry the Certified GF logo, reinforcing our commitment to great (and now certified) gluten-free beer made in our dedicated gluten-free brewery.
