Five of Swords IPA, a collaboration beer between Holy Mountain Brewing & E9 Brewery, will be available starting this Friday at the Holy Mountain taproom and then Tuesday, 3/17 at E9 in Tacoma.

Press Release:

Holy Mountain Brewing Company, located in Seattle’s Interbay neighborhood, is proud to announce our first collaboration. Five of Swords IPA was brewed with our good friends Shane Johns and Donovan Stewart of E Nine Brewery in Tacoma, Wa. While E Nine is well known for its world class barrel aged sours and farmhouse beers, they also quietly crank out some of the best hoppy beers in the state. Brewed at Holy Mountain in late February, this beer represents Holy Mountain’s first IPA.

Five of Swords was brewed with copious amounts of Citra, Simcoe, and experimental hop HBC 342, which lends a melon character that blends with the other hops’ tropical fruit and citrus. Dry hopped with Citra and HBC 342, Five of Swords clocks in at a refreshing 6% ABV and 60 IBU.

The collaboration beer will be released at Holy Mountain’s taproom in Interbay beginning at 3pm on Friday March 13th, and will continue in Tacoma at E Nine on Tuesday, March 17th. The Holy Mountain tapping on 3/13 will feature a rare appearance from one of the last kegs of Rhubarb Sour from E Nine Brewery. The E Nine tapping will feature five Holy Mountain beers, including Lager Beer a hoppy golden lager, Ceremony a farmhouse pale ale fermented with Brett, The Goat an oak fermented rustic brett saison, and River of Ash a dark farmhouse ale fermented in barrels with cherries.

The Holy Mountain Brewing Company taproom is located at 1421 Elliott Ave W in Seattle’s Interbay neighborhood.
