Press Release

Friday, May 5th, TopWire Hop Project of Woodburn, OR, and Block 15 Brewing of Corvallis, OR, announced their new collaboration in the Topwire IPA series for the summer of 2023. 

Using CGX Cryogenic Lupulin Pellets, TopWire IPA Block No. 01 features Nelson Sauvin CGX and Riwaka CGX sourced directly from Crosby Hops and estate-grown Comet from Crosby Hop Farms. The first of the series, and the rest to follow, will be available only at Topwire Hop Project and Block 15 Brewing locations on May 5th.

“As a beer garden located in the middle of Crosby Hop Farm, TopWire has built a reputation for serving the highest quality beverages for hop lovers. It’s only natural to team up with one of the best to bring our signature TopWire IPA to life, and we couldn’t be more excited about our partnership with Block 15. We know our customers will fall in love upon the first sip, surrounded by our hops in the summer sunshine.” – Anthony Mottola, General Manager, TopWire Hop Project.

About the Beer:
CGX Cryogenic Lupulin Pellets uses Advanced cryogenic technology that separates lupulin from whole-hop cones to deliver concentrated lupulin pellets jam-packed with resins and oils. The result is both environmentally friendly while preserving the character of each hop in full expression.

“We are extremely excited to be collaborating with Crosby on this project year and helping showcase their new CGX products. The opportunity to make this beer and partner up with Crosby helps highlight our mutual commitment to sustainable business practices, and the use of high-quality, locally sourced ingredients in our products.” - Matt Williams, Brewery Director, Block 15 Brewing.
