Gigantic Unipiper Hazy IPA Release Tomorrow

Unipiper Hazy IPA Release Tomorrow!

Join Gigantic and the Unipiper on Friday April 1st for the first release in our new Weirdtastic Beer Series - Unipiper Hazy IPA.


Brewed in honor and collaboration with Portland’s iconic flame throwing, bagpiping, kilt wearing, one wheeled wonder. This hazy is unlike anything you’ve had before though, with more in common with the Unipiper than just his name.
Crafted from an all new recipe, Unipiper Hazy IPA has an intensely tropical hop aroma of passionfruit, mango, guava and orange derived from the expert use of Citra, Mosaic, Crystal and the Unipiper’s own Cascade hops paired with Cosmic Punch yeast which biotransform compounds found in the malt and hops, unleashing thiols to further intensify the tropical aromas.


The Unipiper himself will be on hand providing entertainment, signing bottles, and drinking his beer from 4-6pm at the Gigantic Brewery & Champagne Lounge (5224 SE 26th Ave).

Unipiper Hazy IPA will be available on draft and in 16.9oz refillable bottles at both the Brewery and Gigantic Robot Room (6935 NE Glisan), as well as on tap and on store shelves everywhere Gigantic is sold.

 

The 'Weirdtastic Beer Series' is a partnership with Weird Portland United (WPU), a local nonprofit which exists to discover, promote, and nurture the dreamers, creators, and risk-takers that keep Portland weird. A portion of sales from the Weirdtastic Beer Series will go directly to WPU in support of the group’s mission to “celebrate the community’s unique innovative culture, amplify its creative expression, and incubate an even weirder future.”

Gracing the inaugural bottle in this series is the work of Portland artist Steven Barker, depicting the Unipiper on one of his signature rides across the Willamette, alongside WPU’s anthropomorphic Benson Bubbler-turned-octopus mascot, affectionately dubbed ‘Benny’.
Following Unipiper Hazy IPA, next in the series will be a beer sharing the namesake of the long running and highly revered Portland institution, the
PDX Adult Soapbox Derby, releasing in advance of this year’s race which returns to Mt. Tabor on August 20.
