Bale Breaker Brewing releasing its award-winning triple IPA By washingtonbeerblog on May 7, 2021 at 9:55 AM
A few years back, the Washington Beer Blog partnered up with Adam Robbings (Reuben’s Brews) and Nat Pellman (Brouwer’s Cafe) to organize the Washington Hop Mob Roadshow, a series of events focused on Washington-brewed triple IPAs. Since 2014, dozens of breweries have participated, including
Now, we share the news that Bale Breaker is releasing Mount Saint Humulus Triple IPA later this month limited availability. I should note, the Hop Mob judging panel awarded this beer its top honor at the 2020 official tasting event, which happened in February 2020, just before you know what. That’s the last time we were able to really host a big Hop Mob tasting event. Stupid covid!

Reuben’s Brews triples-down on triple IPAs By washingtonbeerblog on February 16, 2021 at 12:32 PM
Is Reuben’s Brews the Master of Triple IPA?
I don’t know the answer, I’m just posing the question. Such things are not for me to decide. Many of Washington’s breweries, and a lot of breweries across the nation, have created triple IPAs. Some of them very successfully. I don’t intend to suggest otherwise. But damn, Reuben’s Brews has an uncommon obsession with this style.
One thing is certain, Reuben’s Brews is pretty damn serious about triple IPA. Right now, they have three of them for you to try: Blimey That’s Bitter and Triple Crush are available in cans for pickup at the brewery’s to-go store (order online), and Gobsmacked is still on draft at the taproom. Yep, three triple IPAs at once.

Pick up a Washington Hop Mob 4-Way Mix Pack, starting this Thursday By washingtonbeerblog on February 2, 2021 at 11:11 AM
Four Washington Breweries team up to offer a Hop Mob mix pack
Since 2014, Washington Hop Mob has served as a way for Washington breweries to showcase their hoppiest creations. This year, Hop Mob looks a little different, but the show must go on. We, the organizers of Hop Mob, have encouraged breweries and bars to be creative and come up with their own plans. Some have, as we explain below.
A lot of what Hop Mob offered in the past, like fun and crowded events with gobs of hoppy beers, simply is not possible this year, but it’s not all sad news. This year many of the beers will find their way into cans. Today we share the news that you, the beer-loving public, have a chance to pick up a mixed four-pack of beers that includes beers from four different breweries.

The show must go on! Brewmaster’s Taproom hosting a Hop Mob event By washingtonbeerblog on January 26, 2021 at 5:21 PM
2021 Hop Mob – 15 beers and now one event
Along with Adam Robbings from Reuben’s Brews and Nat Pellman from Brouwer’s Cafe, I have helped organize Washington Hop Mob for the past several years. Basically a series of events in February each year. In a previous post, I explain what Hop Mob is all about.
Today, I’m announcing that there will be at least one Hop Mob event this year, taking place at
The Brewmaster’s Taproom. See the details below. Perhaps other locations will read this post and get ideas. If so, they can contact me and we’ll talk about it.
