Press Release
Hood River, OR - July 2024
Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery is excited to announce their latest seasonal brew Velvet Wallpaper West Coast IPA, a collaboration with Van Henion Brewing, a brewery they greatly respect. Despite being a relatively new establishment opening in 2021, Van Henion has made a name for itself with a selction of outstanding IPAs and lagers. When visiting Bend, their brewery is a must-see!
Velvet Wallpaper West Coast IPA exemplifies the elegance and craftsmanship both breweries are known for. The breweries crafted a classic West Coast IPA using some of their favorite Pacific Northwest hops. Modern hopping techniques highlight citrus aromas, with pine and evergreen providing a well-balanced complement. This IPA is dry, crisp, and bright to boot, with an ABV of 6.3%, making it an easy summer patio pounder.
The name “Velvet Wallpaper” was inspired by a serendipitous moment when Matt Swihart, Double Mountain’s owner, walked into Van Henion’s brewery and discovered the same timeless, classy velvet wallpaper pattern found in the Hood River pub, albeit in a different color. This shared aesthetic connection underscores the timeless elegance both Double Mountain and Van Henion aim to capture in every sip of this beer.
Raise a glass to this exquisite collaboration and enjoy a touch of class, Oregon!

As you step into the dimly lit room, aromas of evergreen, ruby red grapefruit, and apricot guide you to a secluded seat at the bar. Feels nice doesn’t it? Settle in, sip slow, and keep it classy.
