From Gigantic:
Gigantic Brewing to auction original label artwork from Smackdab Hazy IPA to celebrate the popular beer's re-release.
Portland tattoo artist Brad Delay donated over a dozen pieces of his original work for a silent auction to benefit the Oregon Food Bank. Many of the small works on paper are featured on Gigantic’s Smackdab Hazy IPA label. The artwork will be on view and open for bids at the Gigantic Brewery and Champagne Lounge at 5224 SE 26th Avenue in Portland starting August 24th. Bids can be submitted in person through the end of September. Auction winners will be notified at the beginning of October.
Smackdab Hazy IPA was such a hit in 2020 we had to bring it back. It’s a hazy that’s full of tropical citrus, mango and tangerine juiciness from Citra and Mosaic hops, but balances with a hoppy citrus rind bite on the finish. “The first sip of Smackdab left an indelible mark on the insular cortex of my brain”, said Ben Love of Gigantic. “The Citra and Mosaic hop combination is mind blowingly delicious.”
