The best of the best in the west from three of the Northwest’s finest craft breweries.
The brewers at Fort George have travelled from Anchorage to Oakland in search of the finest, tastiest, newest flavors. This year we’re bringing 3-Way IPA home to the Pacific Northwest.
In 2025, Mirage, Sunriver Brewing and Fort George embark on an Incredible Journey - scaling the cliffs of flavor, fording rivers of hops and crossing fragrant meadows of delicious malt to bring home the perfect West Coast IPA.
Brewed with Krush (formerly HBC 586), Waimea and Nelson Hops, 2025’s 3-Way IPA is a summer beer for summer.

Can from Tavour. Pours translucent gold with a decent white head. Aroma isn't dank, but it's heading that way with a lot of participants. Med body. Flavor is a mix of tropical and standard IPA. Malt is discernible, but it's well contained by a lot of hop bitterness. Grapefruit, resin, melon and more. Excellent flavor.

From Good Times Oakland, canned May 27th.
Pours a rather clear pale gold with a finger of foam. Retention is very good, lacing is good.
Smell is big notes of pine, some grapefruit citrus, some dank notes, cracker malt.
Taste is pine, grapefruit citrus, a bit of dankness, cracker malt, resinous on the tongue.
Good mouthfeel, I would drink this again.

On tap at DownTime Taps, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma has some dankness, piney hops, some NZ hop tang, and crisp crackery notes. Flavour is crisp, with lots of hop tang, bitter piney hops, a bit of murkiness (cryo? Krush), and a crisp crackery base. Bright, bitter and well-constructed. Excellent as always.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Bright, clear golden pour, small tight white head, some lacing. Aroma is hoppy, resinous, pine. Taste brings in some light citrus which fits with the hoppiness, but it is the resiny character that dominated the brew.
gave a cheers!
