Full Sail Brewing’s Cold IPA, aptly named Cool Like That, captures the essence of a Pacific Northwest summer in every crisp sip. Brewed in the wind-swept town of Hood River, Oregon, this seasonal gem from the Strong Current IPA Series blends the clean, lager-like fermentation of a classic cold brew with the bold, hop-forward punch of an IPA. At 7% ABV and 47 IBUs, it’s deceptively sessionable—light and ultra-bright from a Pilsner malt base that lets the stars of the show shine: massive dry-hop additions of Mosaic and Eclipse hops bursting with tropical mango, juicy clementine, ripe stone fruit, and a whisper of coconut. Whether you’re cracking open a 16-oz can after a day on the Columbia River or pairing it with grilled seafood, this Cold IPA delivers refreshment without the haze, making it a go-to for hop lovers seeking something chill yet intensely flavorful.

What sets Full Sail’s Cold IPA apart in the crowded craft beer scene is its nod to innovation rooted in tradition. Since 1987, Full Sail has been a pioneer in sustainable brewing, drawing pure Mt. Hood spring water to craft beers that have snagged over 300 awards, including Beverage World’s Craft Brewer of the Year. Cool Like That embodies that legacy as a hybrid style—fermented cold for clarity and drinkability, then loaded with vibrant hops for that IPA edge—perfect for late-afternoon adventures or backyard hangs. Available seasonally in 4-packs or on draft through September, it’s a limited-run reminder that great beer, like the Gorge’s fleeting bluebird days, is best savored fresh. Grab one, raise a toast to the outdoors, and let the tropical vibes transport you straight to the bluff overlooking the mighty Columbia.

About Full Sail Brewing Company
Founded in 1987 in the heart of Hood River, Oregon, Full Sail Brewing Company emerged as a trailblazer in the craft beer movement, transforming a derelict Diamond Fruit cannery into a vibrant brewery with a vision for independence and quality. Originally known as Hood River Brewing Company, it became the first commercially successful craft brewery to bottle beer for retail sale in the Pacific Northwest, producing just 287 barrels in its inaugural year amid the rise of windsurfing culture in the region. Led by founders including Irene Firmat and later Brewmaster Jamie Emmerson, the company achieved early acclaim when its Amber Ale secured a gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival in 1989. As an employee-owned enterprise committed to sustainability—through practices like local sourcing, water treatment, and community support—Full Sail has maintained its pioneering spirit, balancing innovation with environmental responsibility for nearly four decades.

Full Sail Brewing boasts a diverse and award-winning portfolio of beers that reflect its Pacific Northwest roots and dedication to craftsmanship. Flagship offerings include the Session Premium Lager, a smooth 5.1% ABV American-style lager with a crisp finish, and the classic Amber Ale, a balanced 6% ABV brew with malty notes that has become a perennial favorite. The lineup expands to hop-centric IPAs such as Hop Pursuit, Slipknot, and Bridge to Nowhere Hazy IPA, alongside seasonal specialties like Wassail, a robust 7.2% ABV winter ale, and Wreck the Halls, a hoppy holiday brew. Innovative releases, including Blood Orange Wheat Ale and pub exclusives like Accidental Art IPA and Heather Canyon Kölsch, showcase the brewery’s experimentation with flavors, all crafted using local hops, barley, and Mount Hood spring water to deliver fresh, high-quality experiences for beer

Houston, TX – In June Texas’ oldest craft brewery Saint Arnold Brewing released one of our favorite summer seasonals. And it’s out there now, but as we enter August, it won’t be forever, so you know what to do.

Brewed with fine German malt, and a copious quantity of “noble” hops imported from the Czech Republic, and ironically not even a Pilsner in the truest sense, Saint Arnold Summer Pils is a crisp and refreshing 4.9% ABV Munich-style Helles with a delicate, sweet malt taste complemented by an abundant hop aroma and flavor. It’s also the most award-winning beer they brew at Saint Arnold.
