Press Release

Hood River, OR - June 2021 

“The Times They Are a Changing”, Ron Burgundy never heard that song, but Double Mountain has most certainly been listening. Double  Mountain is proud to release the newest addition to the core lineup: Azyhay Hazy IPA. Selecting a Norwegian kveik yeast, a blend of three  kveik strains (there are thousands) that ferments hot and fast, kicking off wonderful pineapple and stone fruit aromas as it works. Light on  bitterness thanks to just a dash of Brewer’s Gold, Azyhay Hazy still holds a pronounced hop character. Citrus, tropical fruit, and rainforest  sing while a bit of sweetness lingers on the finish. A well-rounded IPA that will please the palates of hazy kids and hop heads alike. With  the arrival of a new Core beer also comes a Core label facelift. Still the beers everyone has come to love, but with aesthetic changes for the  shelf. Double Mountain Core Beers, including Azyhay, are available in ecofriendly refillable 500ml bottles and on draft at our Hood River  Taproom, SE Portland Taproom in the Woodstock neighborhood, and at fine establishments throughout the Northwest. 

Azyhay Hazy IPA 6.4% ABV 30 BU 

This is hazy our way: Loaded with tropical goodness and some back-end hop presence provided by a healthy dose of late addition Cryo Hops  and a novel blend of Norwegian kveik yeast strains. It’s not a juice box. It’s beer. Really good beer. Confidunt in cervisia nobis. (In beer we  trust). 

“The task to make a hazy that would fit Double Mountain was a fun one. We chose to highlight the aspects of the genre that we like the  most, while adding a little Double Mountain flavor. This one hit all the spots. It throws all the pineapple and mango at you, with a sneaky  little dank evergreen on the backside. If there’s such a thing as a West Coast Hazy, this is it.” Matt Coughlin – Lead Brewer
