A Portion of the Beer
Proceeds Will Benefit the Local ALS Chapter
What: This special
collaboration beer, HAZELAND, is a result of a chance meeting between two
Portland residents featured on the Portland
episode of BEERLAND, VICELAND’s series which showcases different
homebrewing communities around the United States. Zak Schroerlucke, marketing
specialist at Crosby Hop Farm was interviewed to discuss different hop
varieties and what makes them so unique. Mark Keene was featured as an avid
homebrewer and his hazy IPA took 1st place in the episode.
Mark’s brewing style is unique as he is diagnosed with ALS
and dictates his ideas, recipe, and methods to his brewing partners who follow
his directions for every step in the brewing process. His inspirational story
led to the idea of brewing his recipe on a production scale and donating a
portion of profits to the ALS Association.
Late last year the Portland episode of BEERLAND premiered at
Proper Pint. Zak and Mark attended the premier and quickly became friends. They
shared stories from filming and reminisced on the craft beer scene both locally
and abroad. Jeb Hollabaugh, head brewer at Labrewatory was also in attendance
and offered his services and equipment to brew Mark’s recipe on Labrewatory’s
5-barrel production brewhouse. Crosby Hop Farm donated El Dorado and Idaho 7 hops and Hop Hash for the beer.
