Powell's Books in Portland, Ore., has partnered with craft brewery Ex Novo Brewing to create the City of Books IPA, with 10% of the proceeds going to the Book Industry Charitable Foundaton.
The 6.2% West Coast Style American IPA will be available for purchase at Powell's downtown location on October 16 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., or until supplies last. Purchases are limited to two four-packs per customer. Limited amounts of the City of Books IPA will also be available at Ex Novo's North Portland and Beaverton locations.
"We discussed different options for styles of beer, but when you live in the Pacific Northwest we all know that IPA is king," said Ex Novo brewer Ryan Buxton. "We wanted just a touch lower ABV than your typical IPA to make it easy to drink more than one or to sip on while enjoying a good book."
