Supercool IPA combines chinook, azacca, and amarillo hops with a classic British ale yeast. Open fermentation and a truly unique dryhopping process lend the Supercool subtle complexities not found in modern IPAs. 6.5%
Engelberg Pilsener helped start the wave of well hopped pils in Portland. Using tettnanger hops and a classic yeast strain chosen specifically for this beer, the Engelberg hits the palate with firm, appetizing bitterness while remaining light and delicately balanced. 4.75% Money Avenue IPA is a modern high flavor/low bitterness IPA with a little edge and an Upright distinction. El dorado, cascade, and strata hops combine with our three strain house kveik blend and open fermentation, while a ninety degree dryhop temperature accentuates complex, bright greenhouse smelling hop oils. Extra dry and drinkable. 7% Four Play, exclusive to the brewery tasting room, is a wheat based saison that spends 18 months in casks with tart cherries and a variety of yeasts and bacteria. The blend yields a sour beer with a complex finish full of oak and minerality. 5%

Seasonal & one-off brews
Brighter Days IPA is a smooth drinking, well hopped beer using comet, Idaho 7, and topaz. Low bitterness and a light body allow the three varieties to carry the profile, integrating well with the soft malt and yeast character. 6.9%
Prescott Pils uses the same Munich lager yeast as the Engelberg but is significantly different otherwise. Skagit Valley malt from northern WA provides a flavorful, nuanced base, while loads of saaz and bru-1 hops, added both in the kettle and during open fermentation, layer notes of spice and earth, reminiscent of some tobaccos. A mineral rich water profile combined with high hopping rates and a dry finish make the Prescott Pils and appetizingly aggressive lager. 5.4% Two Tall Hops is our take on a fruity IPA, combining amarillo and azacca hops with the brewery's house yeast blend and open fermentation. The beer shows an attractive papaya note, drinking softly with hop flavor not only in the nose but throughout the palate. 6.8% Barrel Aged Two Tone shows classic Upright character. Beginning as a wheat based beer hopped with cascade, citra, and el dorado, the Two Tone underwent open fermentation with our house kveik blend and then spent one year in a few of our best oak barrels, picked up nuanced "wild" notes and tons of minerality to complement the hops and provide a historic finish. 5.75% Fresh Hop Money Ave swaps the dryhop of the standard recipe with three pounds per barrel of wet strata, courtesy of Goshie Farms. Added during peak fermentation in our open tank, the relatively modest quantity yields a complex and well rounded beer, with fresh hop notes of tomato leaf and strawberry threading well with the Money Ave's tropical yeast profile. 7% Cadence and Cascade is a classic American style IPA, with a straightforward profile centered around cascade hops, incorporating whole leaf, pellets, and oil, showcasing the floral and tea-like notes of the timeless variety. 7.1% Foundation Ale began as a farmhouse style beer using Skagit Valley barley, wheat, and triticale, along with a big blend of santiam, liberty, crystal, and sladek hops. It spent over six months in a foeder, developing a modern brettanomyces profile, touch of acidity, and light oak notes. We then blended it with an extra young, "alternative" wit that also featured Skagit Valley grains, and dryhopped the blend with Oregon grown strata. Classic Upright - easy but layered, sessionable and satisfying. 5.2% Pleasure Principle IPA is done in a straightforward American style, featuring mosaic and Oregon grown whole leaf chinook. It's light bodied, flavorful mid-palate, and has a great appetizing finish. 6.1% Borgamot Berliner Weisse was produced for Tinker Tavern, an upcoming neighborhood bar in Montavilla. We took a traditionally brewed Berliner Weisse, aged it in wine barrels with a little apricot, and then finished the blend with bergamot. High acidity and bold aromatics drive the beer, while the barrel profile lends it nuances not common in the style. And yes, we're Star Trek fans. 3.5% Strictly IPA is an openly fermented one-off made with an even split of mosaic and bru-1 hops. Wonderfully balanced with a touch of dark triticale from Skagit Valley, this IPA is straightforward and tasty. 6.7% Sunrain Lager is a tasty one-off loaded with pacifica, saaz, and bru-1 hops. Brewed with German and French pilsener malts and fermented with our house Munich lager yeast, the Sunrain drinks like an imperial pils, with wonderfully herbaceous hop flavor and a dry, mineral rich finish. 6.4% Vermouth Barrel Flora is another version of our botanical saison. Brewed in the summer of 2019 with calendula, hops, and homegrown yarrow flowers, then matured in two vermouth casks for nine months, the beer now shows contrasting darker aromatic notes with brighter acidity and a light, oaky finish. 6% Batch 1000 Ale is a collaboration with Fortside and inspired by historic American craft brewing. Made with Mainstem Munich wheat malt grown in Walla Walla, northern brewer hops, and open fermented with Czech lager yeast at an elevated temperature, the B1000 is a classic, ingredient and process driven amber. 6% Schade IPA is done straight up American style, with a light malt profile supporting a huge hop load featuring mosaic, vic secret, cascade, and galaxy. It's a clean, dry, delicious beer with well balanced character and high drinkability. 6.9% Barleywine was brewed to showcase our house Yorkshire ale yeast and celebrate a truly classic style that isn't seen much these days despite a timeless quality. This beer features a 50/50 split of maris otter and optic pale malts, columbia, savinjski golding, and styrian golding hops, and a lengthy four hour direct fire boil. Naturally big but full of attractive flavors and quite drinkable, we hope that this barleywine rekindles interest in beer that tastes like beer. 9.5% 2020 Oregon Native is a special vintage - our first fermented and aged solely in foeders versus smaller barrels. The beer developed quickly, with lush and spicy oak character contrasting the vibrant and concise pinot noir. It drinks more lively and bright than previous releases, without sacrificing complexity. As always, the Oregon Native was made using exceptional fruit from Patton Valley Vineyards and 100% fermented with indigenous orchard yeast. 8% Sherry Barrel Stock Ale is a collaborative blend made with Level Brewing. A seldomly seen style today, English stock ales were once popular blends of old, vintage casks with young, fresh beer, in which the aged beer lent drying oak and wild brettanomyces notes while the young beer provides a contrasting balance. Our version used sherry barrels for the vintage portion, and Level provided the young half, ultimately yielding a wonderfully complex historically modeled beer. 8.4% Herfst Nacht Bruin is a seasonal brew full of historic character, inspired by Fantome and other expressive Belgian breweries. The Bruin is an 80/20 mix of young, autumn saison fermented with our house kveik blend, and a year old sherry barrel cacao infused saison. With complex notes ranging from spiced orange, warm malts, baking chocolate, and vintage sherry, this beer hits the classic Upright goal of being easy up front before showing a greater depth as it warms. 7% Ives is our house wild ale, built on a base of raw wheat and barrel fermented in select casks. The most recent release is a draft only blend of four casks brewed between January and February of 2017, yielding earthy and fruity brettanomyces character with strong mid-palate acidity that softens on the finish. 6% |
