Press Release

PORTLAND, Ore. … Hopworks Urban Brewery (HUB), the first B Corp brewery in the Pacific Northwest, has released Joker Imperial Hazy IPA for its second year, a limited-run hazy with big body and low bitterness.

Stay tuned for more on that as we plan to celebrate our anniversary at our brewpubs on Earth Day this year.”
