About IPA Invasion V Brewfest
All hail, Mighty Columbia! We raise a pint (or four or five) to thee!
Set on the banks of the lovely river at the McMenamins on the
Columbia pub, this beer gathering pays homage to IPAs – that's India
Pale Ales, hopped to the gill and sometimes quite high in alcohol
content. Mmmm.... First brewed in England in the 19th century, IPA is a
popular style of beer among American craft brewers, most notably here in
the Pacific Northwest where our hops are abundant.
So settle in at one of the pub's outdoor tables (or indoors if it's a
bit gloomy out), set yourself up with a selection of freshly brewed
McMenamins IPAs handcrafted specifically for the occasion and just let
the world float on by you....

Batumi IPA
One of the most beautiful cities in the world, the name of my hometown “Batumi” comes from a Greek phrase, “Bathus limen,” and means “deep harbor.” Since ancient times it has served as a natural port to fishermen, merchants and travelers on the coast of the Black Sea. This beer was inspired by it: light, fresh and loaded with the taste of citrus and minty hops to tickle and please your taste buds. Enjoy!
Malts: Golden Promise, Pilsen, Vienna, Wheat Flakes, Caramel Malt and Crystal-15
Hops: Chinook, Sterling, Mosaic and Citra
OG: 1.066 TG: 1.010 ABV: 7.2 IBU: 100+ SRM: 5

Trident Imperial IPA
This Imperial IPA is more on the malty side thanks to the use of darker crystal malts and about 5% Rye malt. Only two different hops were used, Chinook and Simcoe, the fermenter being dry-hopped as well, bringing the hopping to around four pounds per barrel.
Malts: Golden Promise, rye malt, C120, C150
Hops: Chinook and Simcoe
OG: 1.085 TG: 1.015 ABV: 9 IBU: 100+ SRM: 7

Major Threat V Double IPA
This Major Threat is the fifth batch of our popular double IPA. The latest brew is a credit to its hop-packed lineage and sports roughly 2.5 pounds of fresh, whole cone hops per luscious barrel. The resulting amber-colored monster is a juicy hop bomb with a complex grapefruit nose and a killer piney after-bitter that will surely sate even the most ardent hop addict’s appetite.
Malts: 2-Row, Vienna, C-40, Red Wheat
Hops: Chinook, Simcoe, Amarillo, Centennial and Cascade
OG: 1.083 TG: 1.023 ABV: 7.74 IBU: 72 SRM: 6

Transgression IPA
West Coast IPA is an understatement. This robust flavored, medium-bodied, sunset amber colored ale is hop forward to say the least. American hops take front stage with Simcoe, Amarillo and Citra collaborating on a five-tier assault. Hop additions started with first wort, hop bursting, four kettle hop introductions and a long, patient dry hop with three separate additions. Then to climax on the day before being kegged we actually run the finished beer over whole Simcoe hops stripping lupulin and creating even more aroma! Heathen Brewing deserves to be punished or commended for this hop transgression.ABV: 7.5% IBU: 80
