OUTCROSS IPA
Our ongoing experimental series with the world’s hop innovators.
The Outcross Series
In the spirit of experimentation, we take one base beer and split it in three, dry-hopping each variation with a different experimental hop.
The Experimentor, our three-vessel parallel fermenter, is what brings Outcross to life.
Designed by Head Brewer Zach Turner and custom fabricated for us by North Coast Metal Design, it also just so happens to have been the first tank installed in the brewery.
It’s a package deal.
Packaged in 3-packs, we triple down on comparative tasting.
You don’t have to join us at our downtown Yakima taproom to try a full Outcross release side-by-side. To uphold the spirit of Outcross, we exclusively package the cans in cases of mixed 3-packs.
Feedback is welcome!
When one of our guests gets an Outcross flight, we give them a token to vote for their favorite of the set.
For the motivated taster, we publish a tasting form available to anyone with a phone. This collects a wider variety of information on the flavors and aromas of each Outcross variant.
Collecting this tasting data gives us valuable information on how to best utilize each experimental hop. More importantly, it provides the hop breeders with invaluable information on how their hop varieties perform in a finished product, side-by-side their other experimentals.
