Fort George, Mirage, & Sunriver Brewing unveil 3-Way IPA 2025 release plans — New School Beer + Cider

Since 2013 Astoria, Oregon’s Fort George Brewing has released an annual 3-Way IPA collaboration with new and old buds alike. The annual tradition inspires Facebook groups and reddit threads to debate who Fort George will and should collaborate with on this now cherished Pacific Northwest tradition that regularly lands in the top beer releases of any given year. In the past the collaboration partners have spanned the gamut from Anchorage, AK, and Monterey, CA and breweries both small and local, well known, lesser so, and those soon to be household names. For their 2025 3-Way IPA release Fort George Brewing is staying closer to home, bringing in the 2024 brewery of the year, Bend, Oregon’s Sunriver Brewing Co., and the beer nerd cultish Seattle, Washington brand Mirage Beer.

3-Way IPA will be available all over the Pacific Northwest for a limited time starting in Mid-May. It’s also available in Fort George’s online store for pre-order right now [as of Thursday, 5/8]. 

“Sunriver has been in our fridges for a while and we finally got to do a collab in 2024,” says Ft. George ops manager Brian Bovenizer, referring to their collaboration beer Extended Leave released last September. “We were blown away by the amount of hop knowledge and passion that Brett, Patrick and the crew brought to our collab, so they were immediately on the short list for 2025 3-Way IPA. They are especially bringing their west coast game, so then it was on to the hazy partner.”
