Hopworks Releases Buzzworthy New Beestly Organic Honey Porter
Celebration to be held at the HUB Mothership April 1
PORTLAND, Ore. Mar. 30, 2021 —Hopworks Urban Brewery (HUB), the first B Corp brewery in the Pacific Northwest, has officially launched its new, gold medal award-winning Beestly
“We couldn’t be more stoked to work with GloryBee to make this beer a part of their Save The Bee initiative,” said Matt Speckenbach, Head Brewer at Hopworks. “We wanted to create a brew that would be unique and tasty, and that could also help to raise awareness about the importance of pollinators to the food supply.”
GloryBee estimates that one-third of our diet is currently derived from plants that require pollination, and in the US, honeybees are responsible for 80% of agricultural pollination.
Hopworks is celebrating the Beestly’s release on April 1, 2021, at their Powell Boulevard brewpub. From 6 pm to 9 pm, Jermaine will be playing live music in the outdoor beer garden. The first 30 guests who order a pint of Beestly Organic Honey Porter will receive their drink in a keepsake Save The Bee pint glass. Every pint of porter served during the day will come with a ramekin of honey roasted peanuts. Learn more about the release here.
Beestly Organic Honey Porter will be available beginning April 1, 2021, on tap and in 12 oz 6-packs ($9.99) at both the Powell Mothership, 2944 SE Powell Blvd., and HUB Vancouver, 17707 SE Mill Plain Blvd., as well as at gourmet grocery chains throughout the area.
