Full Sail Brewers Share Release & Meet the Brewer

Full Sail Brewing Co. Tasting Room, 506 Columbia St., Hood River

5:00 PM - 6:30 PM

To celebrate the upcoming wintry season, Full Sail will release a new beer in their Brewer’s Share line up that is sure to entice the snow gods to bless the season with plenty of powdery snow. Brewed by Full Sail Brewer Adam Bulson, “Adam’s Malty Bomb” is pray for powder porter that’s sure to make our mountain snowy white all season long.

Porters are Adam’s favorite beer after a day on the snow, and he thought releasing his own version preseason would be a good omen for a great winter. Adam’s Malty Bomb is a robust porter with a big body and lots of dark, caramel/toffee flavor, yet it won’t weigh you down like heavy snow. It’s hopped with just enough hops to balance out the malts, and finishes smooth with no sharp edges. Bomb’s away! (ABV 5.3% IBU 41)
Join the Full Sail crew to celebrate the upcoming season, toast a pint of this new brew with Adam.
