Taste the Limited-Edition Hazy IPA at Our Neck of the Woods Festival, Sept. 14
Maple Ridge, B.C., Sept. 9, 2024 – Maple Ridge is raising a glass to its 150th anniversary with a specially brewed Hazy IPA collaboration beer at the Our Neck of the Woods festival on Sept. 14.
Brewed collaboratively by Foamers Folly, Switchback Brewing and The Patch Brewery, the Our Neck of the Woods IPA will be unveiled at the 224th Street beer garden, part of a major celebration in downtown Maple Ridge on Sept. 14 from 12 to 10 p.m. featuring live entertainment on three stages, food trucks, vendors, free family activities and adventure for all.
“This brew celebrates the unity and pride of our community, making it the perfect pour for this momentous occasion,” said Maple Ridge Mayor Dan Ruimy. “The Our Neck of the Woods celebration is a great opportunity to showcase Maple Ridge’s vibrant hospitality industry. Our craft brewers, farmers market, restaurants, pubs, coffee shops and bakeries are second to none in the region and look forward to serving the many guests joining us on Sept. 14 for this amazing birthday celebration.”
The 224th Street Beer Garden will feature all three craft breweries that worked together to create a special brew to mark Maple Ridge’s 150th anniversary. The collaboration was led by Foamers Folly.
Our Neck of the Woods IPA is a complex and refreshing Hazy IPA with a harmonious blend of tropical flavors and aromas. The beer showcases the unique characteristics of Eclipse, Galaxy, and Sabro, with fruity and slightly dark notes amplified by thiolized yeast.
"Crafting this ultimate celebration beer together has been more than just brewing a delicious beverage... It's a toast to our community and a testament to the strength, diversity and vibrancy of our local craft scene," said Lyndsay Birch, head brewer at Foamers Folly.
