Sunriver Brewing Company has released its beer schedule for 2020, and the plan for beers going into distribution (the ones on the calendar) is pretty hop-heavy. Outside of the core year-round lineup, the calendar is split into “Haze Factory” (hazy IPAs), “Double IPA Factory,” and “Also Limited” which overall is pretty IPA and pale heavy.

While it seems that Sunriver is turning into an IPA factory in general, note that there will still be pub-only offerings that will be available that don’t fit into this schedule (and don’t go into distribution).

Here is the press release that accompanied the calendar:

Sunriver Brewing Co. is giving a detailed calendar of the beer available in 2020. This year a full schedule is given for what will be brewed and sold into their distribution network. This includes year-round beers as well as limited release beers. Formats on what container you can find each release is well defined on the right on the calendar.

The Limited Release category has been broken up into three sub-categories. The Haze Factory, which is a monthly rotating hazy IPA. The Double IPA Factory is comprised of both hazy and West Coast double IPAs. Lastly, the Also Limited category, which features a mix of different styles, ranging from West Coast IPAs to fruit and garden beers.

These Sunriver Brewing beers will all be available in distribution within their network, but in very limited quantities so they will not all hit every area. This calendar also provides a list of beers that will be available in all three Sunriver Brewing pubs, though many other brews will be available as well, including a rotating lager/pilsner series.

From this list you can see that there’s a mixture of yearly favorites, beers that were brewed for the first-time last year and now expanded, plus a few new beers as well. Keep an eye out on the Sunriver Brewing social media pages for more detail information about these brews as they are released.

One of the interesting beers on the list is Sounds Like Summer Garden Ale, mostly because I’m curious what a “garden ale” will consist of. A light summery ale to enjoy in the garden? Ale brewed with garden-fresh herbs (or fruits/veggies)? Could be fun to crowdsource it as a new style…
