Hopworks Squeezes the Last of Summer Into Tequila Barrel-aged Rindless Watermelon Gose

Hopworks Adding Barrel-Aged Rindless Watermelon GoseI brought you a peek, and now this from Hopworks:

PORTLAND, OR  — September 1, 2023 — Certified B Corp Hopworks Brewery has released a tart and juicy slice of Pacific Northwest summertime with its Barrel-aged Rindless Watermelon Gose. The limited-run brew has spent six months aging in tequila barrels, resulting in a complex but refreshing sour. The tequila-derived earthiness and the oaky notes balance cleanly with the watermelon, lime and saltiness of the Gose. 6.7% ABV, 10 IBU. zzubreebym

“Our Rindless Gose was already reminiscent of a salt-rimmed margarita, so it made perfect sense to let it hang out in tequila barrels for half a year,” said Ryan Pappe, head brewer at Hopworks. “This is a refreshing summertime choice for sour beer lovers, with a satisfying pucker, juicy aromas and complex flavors.”

The Tequila Barrel-aged Rindless Watermelon Gose  is a limited-run brew, available while supplies last in 16-ounce 4-packs at retailers in Oregon, and at Hopworks’ two pubs. Hopworks Brewery is located at SE 29th & Powell Blvd. in Portland, and SE 177th & Mill Plain Blvd. in Vancouver.
