Gigantic + Von Ebert Collaborate on Enjoy House IPA

Gigantic + Von Ebert Collaborate on Enjoy House IPA!

Gigantic has teamed up with Von Ebert Brewing to create a new beer that captures the spirit of Tokyo nightlife. Enjoy House! IPA is a summer IPA with an over-the-top hop profile featuring tropical flavors of pineapple, mango, and orange zest.

The idea for this beer came from a serendipitous encounter in Tokyo during the Hood to Fuji Beerfest, when Ben and Van, along with the brewmaster from Von Ebert, were walking the city looking for their next stop. They saw a second-story window with “Enjoy House!” painted on it that was lit with Christmas lights. They went up the stairs to discover a dive bar decorated with streamers and balloons with cool music and friendly vibes. That late-night experience inspired them to create Enjoy House! IPA. 
“We were amazed by the energy of Enjoy House!, purely the vibe and style. Most people probably don’t notice the second-story bar window in the bright lights of the city, but when we walked in we felt like we’d discovered the raddest local hangout,” said Ben. “We wanted to create a beer that would capture that feeling of fun and adventure.”

When asked about creating the beer Van said, “Sam Pecoraro – Von Ebert’s brewmaster – thought it would be fun to showcase both their and our hand-selected lots of Citra hops in a bright IPA for the summer.  It’s always interesting to see what other people are looking for in the hops they purchase, so we both learned a little something about the other.  We chose to dry hop with a Citra/Strata combination because it’s something we both really like”.

Enjoy House is available on draft and in bottle for "First Taste Tuesday" on Tuesday, June 27th at all three Gigantic locations, The Brewery & Champagne Lounge (5224 SE 26th), Robot Room at Rocket Empire Machine (6935 NE Glisan), and Hawthorne Pub (4344 SE Hawthorne). Look for Enjoy House IPA on draft and in 16.9oz refillable bottles at your favorite bar, bottle shop, bodega, or grocer in the Portland metro area! We also sent a limited shipment to the Seattle area, Southern Oregon and California.
