In collaboration with artists Martin Ontiveros and Paige Buda, Hopworks Urban Brewery announces their 2020 releases.
Recognizing that many of you have elected abstention over consumption, during the month of January, the ownership and brewers of Hopworks Urban Brewery - one of the few certified organic breweries in the region - is happy to announce what’s waiting for you in February and into 2020.
Starting with a new can design, from Portland artist Martin Ontiveros (aka, Martinheadrocks, illustrator and wizard), Hopworks Urban Brewery undergoes a cleanse with the help of an artist who has described his work as pop-occultism and “Creature Chic”. Furthering this ‘cleansing’ redesign, artist (and PSU grad) Paige Buda contributes using her unique approach of generating a narrative while inspiring a discussion.
Letting these two unique artists’ work speak for themselves, Hopworks Urban Brewery was happy to share their upcoming can design for calendar year 2020.

As one can see, the designs are not only colorful and iconic but might inspire one to collect rather than recycle the can.
And the beers? Well, rather than bore you with a comparison and contrast between 2019’s seasonal, limited edition, and full-time availability beers; the brewery has provided us the following confirmed beers, available all year and the following beers which have a limited window before they are retired.
Available all year
Powell IPA––Hopworks’ flagship IPA celebrates their mothership brewery on Powell Blvd in Portland OR. The beer is brimming with melon, tropical fruit, and a touch of dank. It’s low on bitterness and big on flavor. This beer is brewed to be your everyday IPA. Available now.
Golden Hammer Lager––Available around April 2020.
Robot Panda Hazy IPA––Robot Panda is a fruity, juicy Hazy IPA that balances a soft and fluffy malt body with big hop additions of Denali, Lemondrop, and Cascade. Tasting notes: spruce, Meyer lemon, tangerine, papaya, and bright lime zest. Available now.
Tree Frog Pale Ale––Hopworks’ new pale ale is bursting with juicy and floral aromas. An easy drinking pale ale made with Fuggle, Centennial, Amarillo, Simcoe. Available around February 2020.
Available for a limited time, throughout the year
Juicy Bear IPA––Juicy and full bodied, yet absolutely crushable. Hopworks’ seasonal IPA springs to life with aromas of peach, tangerine, starfruit and papaya. Available from February 2020 to June 2020.
Totally Chill Hazy IPA––This Hazy IPA is loaded with pineapple and mango hop flavor from Azacca, Mosaic, and El Dorado hops. It’s brewed with a generous amount of oats and wheat for a super cloudy look and fluffy mouthfeel. Available from June 2020 to September 2020.
Abominable Winter Ale––Made with Northwest hops and malt, Abominable has a complex floral, spicy, and citrus hoppiness backed up by just the right amount of malt sweetness. Available from September 2020 to December 2020.
Besides the above, the brewery is committed to releasing more barrel-aged beers as well as the turn of Pig of War and whiskey barrel-aged Abominable Winter Ale.
