Ninkasi Unveils Friends of Trees Pale Ale!

We’re beyond thrilled to share that Ninkasi Brewing Company has unveiled the Friends of Trees Pale Ale, the latest edition to its Rare and Delicious series of beers.

A hoppy but drinkable Northwest beer, the ale is brewed to commemorate our 25th anniversary, and Ninkasi is donating all of the profits from the beer back to Friends of Trees!

The first taste will go to attendees to our Once Upon a Tree 25th Anniversary gala September 27, and after that the ale will be available on draft and in 22-ounce bottles throughout Portland.

 “We can’t think of a better way to celebrate 25 years of people coming together to plant trees,” said Scott Fogarty, Executive Director for Friends of Trees. “This beer is delicious and every sip gives back to our communities, thanks to Ninkasi.”

 “Quality of life and community are big drivers of both of our organizations,” said Nikos Ridge, Ninkasi CEO and co-founder. “Trees are an important resource and one reason it’s so easy to appreciate where we live; we’re proud to support the work of Friends of Trees into its next 25 years.”

The Friends of Trees Pale Ale has an original gravity of 1055, IBU (International Bitterness Units) of 60 and ABV (alcohol by volume) of 5.5 percent.

We hope you get to try a bottle (or two or four). Thanks to Ninkasi for helping us celebrate 25 years of Friends of Trees! Cheers!
