It felt appropriate that the first beer release party at Understory should be with our Old North neighbors and friends at Derive Brewing Company!

We brewed two variations of a tropical IPA for this collaboration in honor of Columbus Craft Beer Week, and both with be on draft to try May 18th at our public release party on the Understory Patio.

• Mirror Dimension (Wolf’s Ridge Triple IPA) :Features hops grown in abnormal locations for their variety and finished with a Galactic punch for good measure. This TIPA truly feels more than out of this world - it’s from another dimension! Hops: New Zealand Cascade, German “Fruit Punch” Amarillo, Michigan Cashmere, Galaxy.

• Sundered Worlds (Derive Single IPA): 6.5% IPA brewed with flaked oats and malted spelt, fermented with Berkley Tropics, hopped and double dry hopped with German Amarillo, NZ Cascade, Michigan Cashmere and Galaxy, with extra emphasis on the Galaxy!

We’ll be setting up a mobile bar station on the Patio where head brewers from Derive & WRB will be pouring + chatting about the beers, and there will also be a limited amount of Mirror Dimension cans for sale to-go.

The Patio will also be hosting free live music 5p-8p featuring Jesse Barr!
