PORTLAND, Ore. — The Portland Trail Blazers have partnered with Rogue Ales & Spirits to launch a new co-branded beer, the Rip City IPA, for the 2024-25 season.
Rip City IPA is described as a West Coast IPA with tropical and citrus hop aromas and a hint of pine, offering a crisp and clean taste. It aims to “embody the energy of the game and the spirit of the Pacific Northwest.”
“We are excited to unveil the Rip City IPA in partnership with Rogue as we tip off another exciting season of Trail Blazers basketball,” said Laura Flynn, Senior Vice President of Commercial Partnerships, in a press release. “Our shared pride for Oregon and passion for creating spaces for community connection made this collaboration a natural fit as we toast to the next chapter of Rip City.”
Steven Garrett, President of Rogue Ales & Spirits, said, “At Rogue, we’re proud to celebrate the spirit of Oregon, and our partnership with the Portland Trail Blazers represents the deep connection between our beer, the Blazers, and the people of this state. Rip City IPA isn’t just about great beer or basketball—it’s about uniting Oregonians through two things we’re truly passionate about. We couldn’t be more excited to bring this beer to Blazers fans across the region.”
he beer will be available at all Rogue pubs and the Moda Center starting October 16, coinciding with the Blazers’ game against Ratiopharm Ulm.
Rogue will offer $1 off any pint of Rip City IPA at Rogue pubs during Trail Blazers games.
