Spring has sprung and Summer is just around the corner – kinda! Of all the breweries in town, GoodLife is your only bet to enjoy a nice cold pint while chillin’ at a Beirgarten on a warm summers day. But while their Beirgarten is not quite ready, the brewers are preparing with their latest “Comatose Imperial IPA”.

It’s shaping up to be a good summer.

Here’s an excerpt from their official release

GoodLife Brewing Company Set to Release Comatose Imperial IPA

(Bend, OR- April 26, 2012) Mother Nature’s seasons are amazing, where all her creations flux between an existence in winter’s comatose state, spring’s colorful fling, summer’s hot dance, and fall’s laidback swing.  The creative juices of musicians jump from an unconscious, winter mindset spurring you to think concerts, road trips, and campsites.  One sip of this beer will get your blood flowing as you jam to your favorite tunes!

Weighing in at 9.5% and measuring 95 IBUS, Comatose is a triple dry hopped, Imperial IPA. This heavyweight has over 5 lbs. of hop per barrel, which makes the aroma smell of strong orange candy followed by citrus and spice. The beer continues jabbing the taste buds with a taste of biting into a fresh grapefruit with a balanced malt character that finishes strong and clean. Ding, ding, ding… TKO!

Comatose will be available in 1/6 barrels and 1/2 barrels on Monday, April 31st. GoodLife is throwing a release party on Saturday, April 28th in their brewery.

Cheers!

Goodlife Brewing Company and Bend Brewing Co. team up to brew something special! Always good to see peeps working together to make something good happen – and in this case it’s gooder beer! If you’re lucky enough to be in town, visiting or looking for a good excuse to get out, pop on by GoodLife Brewing Company this afternoon (11.30.11) for the official release! Cheers!

Tonya Cornett, Head Brewer of Bend Brewing Company, and Curt Plants, Head Brewer and partner of GoodLife Brewing Company, collaborated to brew a traditional yet little known style of beer, Scotch Ale.  While “product testing” other Scotch Ales at a local pub, Curt and Tonya settled on a recipe of rare malts and traditional hops to create this unique brew called Scottish Heart Scotch Ale.  Scottish Heart will be released at GoodLife Brewing Company in Bend on St. Andrews Day, November 30th, the National Day of Scotland.

Brewers collaborating on a beer is a not an uncommon idea.  However, two breweries located in Central Oregon collaborating to create a beer is a “first ever.”

This caramelized, malt forward Scotch Ale is brewed in honor of St. Andrew, the Patron Saint of Scotland.  The grain profile of the beer is a special blend of English malts that produce toffee and carmel flavors and a deep copper color that is blanced with traditional Noble hops.  At 8%, Scottish Heart will surely make many people in town happy.  This beer is fantastic – Slainte Mhath! (Cheers or Good Health in Scottish Gaelic, pronounced “Slanchay Va”!)

For additional information, come visit us on 70 SW Century Drive in Bend, OR or at www.GoodLifeBrewing.com.  GoodLife Brewing Company will be distributing this beer, along with Mountain Rescue Dry Hop Pale Ale, Descender IPA and Pass Stout in Bend, Portland and soon to be in future markets.
