Trap Door Brewing

THREE NEW BEERS! We’re dropping all 3 today at our taprooms for your enjoyment this weekend! 1) Hella. You know it - you love it. Our crispy Munich-style Helles lager is back for the sunnier days ahead! 2) Off-Season IPA with @hettyalicebeer . A West Coast IPA where we got to play in the sandbox of hops to create something exciting without the pressure of competition szn! 3) Guild Collab IPA. The”Westies With our Besties” series is back to support @wabrewersguild ! We hosted this collab 2 years ago, but this year @brothers_cascadia hosted with input from @irrelevant_beer @vicebeer @loowitbrewing , @everybodysbrewing and @drinkgrb !

The latest issue of @craftbeerbrew just dropped with a couple of our beers receiving very high marks by the reviewers and editors! 💥 🍻 💯

Dropping Friday in Vancouver and Washougal! @trapdoorbrewing x @hettyalicebeer Bursting with bright pineapple and citrus, Off Season is a highly drinkable West Coast IPA designed for a smooth, aromatic-forward experience. A standout lot of Oregon-grown Chinook leads the aroma with intense pineapple notes, supported by a heavy dry hop of Citra, Krush Cryo, and Nelson. The mouthfeel is exceptionally clean thanks to a 50/50 malt split of pilsner and 2-row, while a refined bitterness level allows the oily hop flavors of Mosaic and Citra Dynaboost to shine through a crisp, refreshing finish. This beer is a collaboration with Gavin at Hetty Alice, whose approach to highly drinkable, refined IPAs has been an inspiration for us. To blend our styles, we built a citrus-heavy kettle base of Motueka, Citra, and Krush Cryo, then dialed back the bitterness to create a profile that is approachable for everyone. Named “Off Season” as a nod to brewing outside the pressure of the competition circuit, this release isn’t about chasing medals, it’s about getting back to the simple joy of making a great beer that we and our friends love to drink.

@TrapDoorBrewing proudly brought home back-to-back Gold medals at #GABF with "Fresher Than Fresh," a Fresh Hop beer featuring #ColemanGrown Mosaic. To celebrate, we teamed up on something new: "Fiercer Than Fierce," brewed with @YakimaChief Mosaic, grown at the @ColemanAgriculture Homeplace Farm, paired with Simcoe, Mosaic Dynaboost, Nelson, and Columbus Cryo. Dank, berry-forward, and tropical, "Fiercer Than Fierce" delivers a heavy hit of sticky resin and ripe berries, followed by layers of passionfruit and mango with a clean, dry finish. This is the definitive profile we look for in our West Coast IPAs, bold, aromatic, and assertively bitter. Get a jump on American Craft Beer Week and join us for the release, plus a special hands-on hop sensory experience. 📅 May 8th, 2026 @ 5 pm 📍1834 Main St, Washougal, WA

Meet The Hop Growers! This Friday, May 8 in Washougal, you can join our head brewer, Jake Watt, and Max Coleman of @colemanagriculture for a special release of this collaboration IPA as well as a hands-on hop sensory experience! Dank, berry-forward, and tropical, Fiercer Than Fierce is our 7.0% West Coast IPA built around the best of the Mosaic harvest. It delivers a heavy hit of sticky resin and ripe berries, followed by layers of passionfruit and mango with a clean, dry finish. This is the definitive profile we look for in our West Coast IPAs, bold, aromatic, and assertively bitter. Teaming up with Coleman Hops, the farm that provides our fresh harvest hops, we set out to create a non-fresh version of our Fresher Than Fresh IPA. Featuring their favorite Mosaic lot of the season, alongside Simcoe, Mosaic Dynaboost, Nelson, and Columbus Cryo, this beer is a tribute to the growers and the specific lots that make our favorite beers possible. Enjoy this beer with Jake, Max and the hop sensory experience this Friday at 5PM in Washougal!

Check it out! 💥

Vibrant, tart, and bursting with fruit, Growing Up Is Overrated leads with a massive wave of jammy raspberry followed by a soft, rounded finish of sun-ripened peach. The acidity is bright and refreshing, perfectly balancing the sweetness of the fruit to create a crisp, punchy profile. This is a whimsical, easy-drinking sour that’s all about big flavors and pure enjoyment. Named after the Passafire track, this beer is a reminder to stop overthinking and lean into the fun side of craft beer. We built the base to be light and effervescent, allowing the fruit to take center stage without distraction. With its playful profile and fruit-forward intensity, it’s a beer designed for those who know that growing up is entirely optional. 🎮 👾📼📀

⏩ Bright, resinous, and engineered for maximum hop expression, Forward, Never Backward is a clean West Coast IPA built to showcase the experimental @yakimachief FWD hop HBC1183. We crafted this in collaboration with @coldfire_brewing to bring forward a westie that features our shared brewing philosophies. No gimmicks - just a focused look at the future of the West Coast IPA. Expect a punchy profile of lemon citrus and red fruits, backed by a firm, classic bitterness and a bone-dry finish. This high-clarity IPA stays focused on the hops from the first aromatic hit to the final crisp sip. Bring us your feedback - online or in the taproom - on this new hop in a future forward westie! Available now.
