Hood River, OR - June 2021 

Continuing support of LGBTQ+ rights, Double Mountain is proud to release Basic Rights IPA and Pride Cider. Joining  forces with local artist and pub favorite, Mark Nilsson, we created a greatly balanced IPA that would feature Mark’s  talents and utilize a portion of the profits for donation and partnership with Basic Rights Oregon. Additionally, we  created a delicious Dry Cider available for draft. Basic Rights Oregon is celebrating 25 years of advocating to ensure  that all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer Oregonians experience equality by building a broad and inclusive,  politically powerful movement, shifting public opinion, and achieving policy victories on issues throughout Oregon for  youth, racial and LGBTQ justice. Basic Rights IPA is available in refillable 500ml bottles and on draft along with Pride  Cider at our Hood River Taproom, SE Portland Taproom in the Woodstock neighborhood, and at fine establishments  throughout the Northwest. 

Basic Rights IPA 6.5% ABV 58 BU  

A colorful array of English Malts our favorite local hops. Celebrating the rich diversity of all Oregonians, this IPA will be  featured at Pride events throughout the Northwest. A portion of the profits benefit Basic Rights Oregon. Original art by  Hood River Artist, Mark Nilsson. 

“It was a kick in the pants working with Mark, making a great beer, and celebrating that beer with a new painting for  the Taproom. Partnering with Basic Rights Oregon helping fund their advocacy and justice campaigns is just the right  thing to do.” Matt Swihart, Brewmaster
