From Hopworks:

PORTLAND, OR  — October 22, 2021 —Hopworks Urban Brewery continues to innovate with its latest release, Ace of Diamonds, an experimental West Coast IIPA. Ace of Diamonds features two experimental hops from B Corp Roy Farms, ADHA 218 and ADHA 1624. ADHA 218 shines through in Ace of Diamonds with pops of lime and bubble gum; ADHA 1624 brings notes of grapefruit that balance the notes of bubble gum from ADHA 218.

"This Imperial IPA has really been amazing to brew, especially tinkering with new, Salmon-Safe hops," said Matt Speckenbach, Head Brewer at Hopworks. "Working with our friends at Roy Farms to select hops from their experimental selection was fascinating and led to a beer that we’re all extremely proud of, both from a flavor and aroma perspective, as well as from a sustainability perspective working with another B Corp."

Ace of Diamonds West Coast IIPA is available starting on October 22 on tap and in 16 oz. 4-packs at grocers, bottle shops, and at Hopworks’ two locations on SE Powell Boulevard in Portland and SE Mill Plain Boulevard in Vancouver, Washington.
