New Year-Round Beer: The VAPORIZER Dry-Hopped Pale Ale
June 8, 2010 on 7:55 pm | In Uncategorized, beers, events, fun, new beers | 8 Comments
And the hits just keep on comin’… We are very proud to welcome “THE VAPORIZER” as a full-time brand, joining “Kölsch”, “India Red Ale” (aka “IRA”), and “Hop Lava” Northwest IPA on our year-round roster. We brewed “THE VAPORIZER” as a seasonal last summer, and it was so well-received that we’ve decided to promote it to the starting lineup.
“THE VAPORIZER” is a golden-hued Pale Ale that features a beautifully hoppy aroma and flavor. The malt is 100% Gambrinus Pilsner, our sweet and supple house malt from Gambrinus Malting in British Columbia. The hops are primarily of the Challenger variety, grown on a single farm in the Yakima Valley. Matt and his team dry-hop “THE VAPORIZER” to pump up the hoppy goodness. It’s an appetizingly dry, clean and pure-tasting take on a hoppy Pale Ale, if we do say so ourselves. And we do. 6.0% alcohol by volume, 50 bittering units.
We’ll be celebrating the widespread release of “THE VAPORIZER” with a Kick-off Party at Apex, the hot new beer bar recently opened by local craft beer impresario Jesse McCann. Come on down this Thursday June 10 from 5 to 9pm — the team will be hanging out and raffling off Vaporizer t-shirts and other goodies. Apex is located at 1216 SE Division in Portland.

Love this beer! I just moved to Oregon and Double Mountain has quickly become one of my favorite brews in the good ole USA. Keep up the great work and I hope to visit you guys in Hood River soon!

Wish I was in the know about this beer earlier. Hands down the best new beer I have tried in the last year- no offense Hop Lava. You are still my boy.
Love it… in a creepy way. Yeah, that’s right. I BE outside your window Vaporizer.
Great job Double Mountain. You have consistently blown my mind with your awesomeness. Thank you for making this beer a staple and not a one-off.
Let’s get some of this sold in bombers at New Seasons STAT!
With love,

Incredible beer, I’ve been enjoying this at Mt Hood Meadows. I just went to Belmont Station and they didn’t have any in stock though. I’d love to see your beers bottled up!

Wow! Just had Vaporiser at Ringside Steakhouse in Portland. My how tasty. Are you full on bottling yet? Have you approached Total Wines and more or is that too big of a leap? I would love to be able to tip one of yours in SoCal. Cheers and keep the wort bublin’
