About this beer

Buoy Throwback IPA is a distinctive India Pale Ale brewed by Buoy Beer Company in Astoria, Oregon. Weighing in at 6.7% Alcohol By Volume and boasting a bitterness of 60 IBUs, this rotating series IPA prominently features Estate Grown Comet and Chinook hops. The label explicitly states the utilization of Crosby hops—described as imparting dark floral, citrus, and pine notes—which are intended to bring the flavor “back in the day.” The beer is brewed with two-row malt, pale malt, and wheat malt.

The artwork on the can features a vibrant, stylized depiction of a blue and orange sailboat rotating on its axis, set against a dynamic background of swirling lines which evoke movement and the coastal environment. The can’s design incorporates a prominent, retro-inspired font for the beer’s name and subtle illustrations of the featured hops. The “rotating series” designation suggests a limited-release character emphasizing experimentation with hop varieties.
