Double Mountain Releases Carrie Ladd Steamship Porter Bottles

From Double Mountain:

Hood River, OR- April 2^nd, 2014 – Double Mountain Brewery & Taproom is pleased to announce the release of Carrie Ladd Steamship Porter in reusable half-liter bottles available in limited quantities in Oregon, Washington, California, and the Vancouver, B.C. area. This complex flavored beer will be available on draft as soon as March 27^th, 2014 and can be found on retailer shelves after April 2^nd, 2014. It is currently available at the Double Mountain Taproom in Hood River, OR.

This beer is a tribute to the steamship Carrie Ladd that ran freight and passengers from Portland to the Cascade Rapids (Cascade Locks) from 1859 to 1862. This beer is fermented with Czech Lager yeast at ale temperatures to temper the sulfur that this yeast tends to throw. The unique ferment temperature also provides a fresh bread aroma with light cherry fruit overtones to an already rich, roasted, and robust porter. This style was widely popular among the pioneers that flocked to the coastal Northwest for the gold and timber rush.  6.6% 43BU

“It’s really the blend of malts that makes the Carrie Ladd sing.” Head Brewmaster/owner Matt Swihart elaborates, “Marris Otter pale malts blended with 2-Row English Chocolate, Black, Biscuit, Honey, and Vienna malts all play their strengths here to commingle with the subtle fruitiness of the warmer lager fermentation.”
