Supercool IPA combines chinook, azacca, cascade, and amarillo hops with a classic British ale yeast. Open fermentation and a truly unique dryhopping process lends 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
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% Three Deadly Hops is a sessionable amber ale made with crystal, mosaic, and cashmere - each contributing a unique style to the beer. Flavorful with skillfully integrated hop character, this one demonstrates what years of practice and study can achieve in the battle against unbalanced and excessive beers. 4.8% Oyster Stout, one of our favorite annual releases, is back for the 11th year! For the first decade the recipe was largely unchanged, but this batch used a different yeast strain and revised malt bill, giving the stout a more traditional London style character and allowing the minerality to show beautifully in the finish. 5.6% 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% Seasonally Appropriate IPA is a modern take on old school winter beers, combining fashionable hops like citra and azacca with columbus and cascade over a deep amber base with smooth, satisfying malt flavors. This delicious IPA has big character from start to finish, and arrives just in time to be enjoyed during the heart of winter. 6.6% Willamette Pale is a single malt/single hop beer made with Bryan Keilty of Gorges Brewing. We partnered with Skagit Valley malt and used a variety called Pilot Dark, lending the beer a nice amber hue. The kettle was loaded with willamette hops, then we open fermented it with our house ale yeast. This one drinks like a classic from the U.K. with big but balanced flavors and plenty of nuance despite a modest abv of only 4.3%. 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% Sweet ‘n Low Stout is a collaborative dry milk stout, made with longtime friend of the brewery Rick Nelson who visited us from Amsterdam. The oxymoronic style was based on his idea, and we fine-tuned it with our Yorkshire ale yeast and open fermentation. There’s just enough lactose to offset the dryness, making for a flavorful and nuanced session stout. 3.9% 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% |
