#10BarrelBrewing is introducing a “light” version of its popular Pub Beer, aptly named Pub Light; billed as a “lighter, baby brother” to Pub Beer, Pub Light is 4% ABV and 99 calories, directly positioned to compete in the American light lager market.
I recently received samples of the new Pub Light, and along with those came the opportunity to take a blind taste test: “Pub Light vs the #1 Domestic Giant in the PNW.”
#PublicCoastBrewing is turning 10 this year, and is kicking off the year-long celebration by bringing back weekly live music as well as releasing special beers that “are going to be celebrations of the fan and brewer favorites from the last decade.” The brewery starts things off with the return of StackStock Candy Cap Stout and a new (non-alcoholic) Peach Cream Soda.
When Portland’s #VonEbertBrewing released its 2026 beer calendar at the beginning of the year, there was a slot for specialty variations of its award-winning Volatile Substance IPA, with the first set to release in March. That time has come, and the brewery announced the release of the first of the three—Tropical Substance IPA.
I recently received a six-pack of Sunglider Golden Lager from #FirestoneWalkerBrewing, a limited-release seasonal #beer brewed with sustainable malt and hops. Part of the company’s Brewing for Tomorrow initiative, Sunglider is brewed with California-grown “Butta-12” barley that is floor malted, and Salmon-Safe hops from Oregon’s Goschie Farms.

#DoubleMountainBrewery dipped into its archives for the next #beer in its “From the Vault” series, Gravitar Galactic IPA. Originally released as an experimental beer in 2012, brewed with HBC 342 hops; this time around, it’s brewed with Galaxy, Strata, Simcoe, Mosaic, and Deep Cut Cascade hops.

#BeerGirl is a new lifestyle #beer brand out of California, featuring low-alcohol, gluten-reduced, zero-sugar lagers, designed as a “lighter, more balanced alternative to traditional beer” for people who enjoy beer but not the feeling of heaviness or bloat that can accompany it. I recently received cans of the current beers to review, Amber Lager and Lighter Lager, both 3.5% ABV.
Right now in northwest Oregon’s Tualatin Valley, Tap Season is underway, celebrating the #beer and #cider of the region with the Tualatin Valley Ale Trail and a new collaboration beer from 15 of the local breweries, Ale-Paca IPA, available in select taprooms and in cans.

#GooseIsland #Beer Company has a line of IPAs under its “Beer Hug” label, featuring largely higher-alcohol beers across a variety of IPA subcategories. The latest in the lineup is Big Hazy Pineapple Beer Hug, an imperial hazy IPA that clocks in at 9.9% ABV. The company recently sent me a can of the new beer to review, in 19.2-ounce stovepipe format.
Seattle’s #ElysianBrewing is dipping its toe into the #NonAlcoholicBeer pool with the release of its first NA beer, Easy Dust IPA, a #nonalcoholic addition to its Space Dust lineup—just in time for Dry January. It’s listed with less than 0.5% (of course) and 25 IBUs, brewed with Citra, Centennial, and Amarillo hops.

Portland-based #ZupansMarkets is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and as part of the celebration, the grocery chain partnered with #FermentBrewing on the latest Farm to Market collaboration #beer in honor of the milestone to release “Blend No. 34”, a barrel-aged imperial stout.
#NonAlcoholicBeer brewer #RationAleBrewing launched a new #beer in its lineup this summer, an NA Japanese Style Dry Lager. Based on the label, it’s “Batch 01” of a new Maverick Series from the company, which is “a new line of limited-edition brews that will rotate exclusively into the brand’s first-ever 12-pack Variety Pack.”

#PelicanBrewing introduced a new #beer to its year-round lineup this fall, Flock Party IPA, which the brewery is calling a modern take on the style brewed with Bravo, Centennial, and Strata hops. Last week Pelican sent me samples of the beer to review along with some fun swag.

I don’t see much news from Maryland’s #FlyingDogBrewery these days, largely because the brand hasn’t been distributed here (Oregon and the Pacific Northwest) in quite awhile, but I found the recent press release I received for the brewery’s Family Drama Holiday Survival Pack amusing.

This Friday, November 14, Bend’s #CruxFermentationProject releases this year’s edition of Tough Love #BarrelAged #ImperialStout with a release party from 5 to 9pm.

Oregon’s #PublicCoastBrewing released a new limited-edition pastry stout this month, inspired by the fluffernutter sandwich (that’s peanut butter and marshmallow) — Fluff N’ Good Stout. It’s brewed with peanut butter and freeze-dried marshmallows and is 9% alcohol by volume.

The latest #beer in the Farm to Market series from Portland’s #ZupansMarkets is a collaboration with #HettyAliceBeers on a #FreshHop IPA: Flash Frozen Fresh Hop IPA. As you might expect from the name, the fresh hops are frozen and shattered to extract the hop character.
Even though summer isn’t over, it’s #pumpkin season once again, as marked by the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte and the release of the Pumpkin Variety Pack from #ElysianBrewing, featuring three of its most popular pumpkin beers in cans for the first time.

#MashGang is a new (to me) brewer of #NonAlcoholic beers, founded in 2020 and dedicated to crafting NA beers that are “Expertly brewed to strength at 0.5% ABV using natural ingredients” (0.5% being the legal limit to be called non-alcoholic). The company is based in the United Kingdom and contract brews its beers in the U.S. for the American market.
