Buoy Beer Company releases Another IPA in 500ml Refillable Bottles

Another IPA released next week into the market, Buoy restaurant delivers during COVID-19 crisis

ASTORIA, OR – Buoy Beer Company releases Another IPA in 500ml refillable bottles as the next style in their seasonal line. Another IPA will be in stores late March-June and will be followed by Kolsch in July-September, and Strong Gale October-December. These beers will be available in bottles and hopefully draft soon.

“After almost 6 years we are packaging another IPA!” says Jessyka Dart-Mclean, Marketing Manager. “While we remain focused on having a wide range of beers, including a variety of lagers, the brewers thought it was about time to package another IPA.”

Tropical, citrusy, and dank to the max – what more could you want in Another IPA? Light in color, the American IPA is hop-focused, packed with Strats, El Dorado, and Comet hops. Another IPA is the beer-sonification of the Pacific Northwest on a stunningly crisp and clear day.

With the sweeping closures throughout the Pacific Northwest due to the COVID-19 situation, all release parties for Another IPA have been canceled. A party can’t happen but social distancing can’t stop a love for craft beer. Buoy Beer is taking orders today (March 20th) on their online ordering website until 4pm and will deliver this fresh new IPA to the doorsteps of Astoria households.

“We miss our customers so much!” says Katie Shaw, Restaurant Manager. “We are committed to doing our part to make sure our community stays as healthy as possible. As of now we’re here if you want a crowler, fish n’ chips, and more. Also, wash your hands!”

On March 17th, COVID-19 updates included closing the restaurant to seated customers and going forward offering to-go orders through the front entrance or the 8th St Dock beer window if you prefer to stay outdoors. Those picking up orders are asked to send only one, healthy person to collect the order. Delivery and online ordering opened by March 18th with the launch of an easy-to-use website that includes food, $5 crowlers, and packaged beer. The Buoy staff is following the recommendations from the CDC and the OHA and stepping up already meticulous cleaning practices by increasing the frequency of hand washing and sanitizing surfaces. Social distancing recommendations have been implemented in the workflows of the brewery and restaurant.

Another IPA will be available in draft & refillable 500ml bottles distributed in Oregon and Washington. Portland should see the bottles hitting shelves by the end of next week and the rest of the Oregon and Washington shortly after.
