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.

Europe is slowly embracing wine in pouches instead of bottles. Is America next?

Boxed wine gets a bad rap because, well, it’s wine in a box. You’ve heard all the negative connotations by now: They’re cheap, unsophisticated, and downright boring. You walk into any party with boxed wine, and you’ll not only raise eyebrows, but also be persona non grata at the next shindig. I’ve personally never sipped wine from a box, though that has a lot to do with the fact that my introduction to wine happened when a date of mine from more than 20 years ago ordered a bottle of Château Ste. Michelle Riesling at a restaurant I frequented. The Riesling was sweet, crisp, and truly delicious for someone who runs on beer, tequila, rum, and whiskey. That bottle of Riesling, however, sparked curiosity: Buying a dozen red and white bottles of wine from my local shop in Pasadena, California. The bottles sat mostly on my wine rack collecting dust. I’d open one every few months when guests preferred something buttery or fruity over carbonated or oaky booze.

It wasn’t until my trip across Tuscany in April 2018 that I really learned to appreciate wine. After touring the tiny village, one wine came out on top, and it’s one I order every chance I get when dining out: Chianti Classico. But always make sure the bottle carries the black rooster symbol. The older I get, the more I appreciate a glass of wine. Heck, last summer while visiting Cuban Creations Cigar Bar in New Orleans, the lovely waitress recommended a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon for the Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva cigar I was about to light. It was a great recommendation.

Bowmore is bringing a new 20-year-old Islay single malt to the US
Whisky, Scotch, Bottle

Twenty years is a long time to wait for anything, let alone a whisky, but Bowmore is betting its newest release is one worth the delay.

The distillery, founded in 1779 in the town of Bowmore, is the oldest licensed distillery on Islay. It’s also the second-oldest in Scotland, and one of the few that still runs its own floor maltings, using peat smoke to dry the barley on-site.
