Gigantic Brewing Collaborating With Alesong For Their 10th Canniversary

Today we’re taking an early look at an exciting Oregon craft beer collaboration that’s already generating serious buzz among West Coast beer fans. Alesong Brewing & Blending (Eugene, Oregon) has teamed up with Gigantic Brewing Company (Portland, Oregon) to celebrate a major milestone with the release of the Alesong 10th Canniversary IPA, a limited release collaboration IPA that’s shaping up to be one of the most sought-after anniversary beers of the year.

10th Anniversary Craft Beer Collaboration in Oregon

To mark Alesong Brewing’s 10th anniversary, this special collab IPA brings together two of Oregon’s most respected names in craft brewing. Both breweries are well known for pushing boundaries: Alesong with its innovative barrel-aged projects and Gigantic with its bold, hop-forward creations, making this partnership a perfect match for a standout anniversary IPA release.

Hop Profile: Citra, Mosaic & Dolcita

The 10th Canniversary IPA is being described as intensely “saturated” with premium hops, featuring a powerful trio of:

• Citra hops – delivering vibrant citrus, grapefruit, and tropical fruit aromas
• Mosaic hops – adding layers of blueberry, mango, and dank complexity
• Dolcita hops – bringing a softer, modern fruit-forward sweetness and aromatic depth

This combination promises a juicy, hazy, hop-forward IPA experience packed with flavor, aroma, and balance. Fans of New England IPA (NEIPA) styles and modern West Coast hybrid IPAs will want to keep this one firmly on their radar.

Beer Specs & Packaging Details

• Style: Collaboration IPA / Anniversary IPA
• ABV: 7% Alcohol by Volume
• Format: 16 oz craft beer cans
• Release Type: Limited anniversary collaboration

At 7% ABV, this IPA sits comfortably in the “drinkable but flavorful” range, offering enough strength to satisfy hop lovers while maintaining smooth drinkability, perfect for summer events and brewery celebrations.

Eugene & Portland Craft Beer Scene Spotlight

This release highlights the strength of the Oregon craft beer scene, particularly in Eugene and Portland, two cities known nationally for their innovative breweries and strong beer culture. Collaborations like this reinforce why Oregon remains a top destination for IPA lovers and craft beer tourism.

Release Details & Anniversary Event Information

While full details are still emerging, fans should stay tuned for official release dates, can drops, and anniversary event announcements tied to Alesong’s 10th celebration. Expect:

• Brewery-exclusive pours
• Limited can releases
• Special anniversary events in Eugene
• Possible distribution across Oregon craft beer retailers

Given the hype around anniversary IPAs and collaboration brews, this release is likely to sell out quickly, especially among collectors and hop-heads chasing unique small-batch beers.

Bottom Line:
The Alesong x Gigantic 10th Canniversary IPA is shaping up to be a must-try for fans of hop-saturated IPAs, Oregon craft beer, and limited anniversary releases. With its Citra, Mosaic, and Dolcita hop profile, approachable 7% ABV, and highly anticipated release, this beer is poised to become one of the standout craft beer drops of the season.

Stay locked in for updates; this is one you won’t want to miss.
