Fort George’s highly sought-after 3-Way IPA series is now 12 years old. The west coast brewery collaborates with two other prominent labels every year to release a special India Pale Ale in an artsy can. This year, the newly-released beer is the result of a team-up with breweries from both central Oregon and Seattle.

Introducing, the 2025 3-Way IPA. It’s the work of Fort George in Astoria, Mirage Brewing in Seattle, and Sunriver Brewing Company in central Oregon. The beer is made with seven hop varieties and comes in at 7% ABV.

The beer features a cool can design each year and the 2025 is no different. What of the beer? It’s made with Krush, Waimea, Nelson hops and more and four types of malt. This is a solid west coast IPA, built for summer as the brand notes. You can expect citrus and pine, along with some grain flavors thanks to a larger malt bill.

Per Fort George’s other work, the beer is available in the Pacific Northwest. You can find it in can and on draft at a number of bars, bottle shops, and stores. But act fast, as the seasonal release rarely last long and tends to drink best fresh.

Fort George Brewery is based in Astoria Oregon. In 2013, the label started the 3-Way IPA, an annual collaborative release with a cult following. The brewery is known for both its standard line of beers as well as barrel-aged options. Mirage Brewing is located in the Emerald City and got its start in 2017. Sunriver Brewing has locations in Bend and Sunriver, Oregon, and is an award-winning outfit known for beers like the Vicious Mosquito IPA.

A facelift for a popular beer release
BrewDog Elvis Juice IPA.

BrewDog is making a splash with a new-look can. The Ohio brewery just launched a redesign for its popular beer, the Elvis Juice IPA. It comes just in time for the warm weather season, when backyard barbecues and the best summer beers are most welcome.

The can now looks a lot like the beer tastes. Evoking citrus peel, the orange stripes are a punchy addition to the can's aesthetic. While no citrus is technically added to the beer, the hop bill makes for a zesty IPA.

Stone follows suit and drops low-octane IPA
Stone Brewing Dayfest IPA.

Anybody who's anybody in the craft beer movement is dropping a session IPA at the moment. Stone Brewing is the latest to do so, a west coast brewery known for its hop-forward offerings. The beer, called Dayfest IPA, is a hoppy lawnmower beer coming in at a refreshing 4.5% ABV.

There's an abundance of tropical fruit to the beer along with some dankness, which IPA-lovers will very much appreciate. The IBU count is a respectable 24 and there's a palpable maltiness one might expect from a bigger-bodied IPA. And it comes just in time for the warmer days of spring and summer, where a day drink or two might seem appropriate.
