Seasonal & one-off brews
New Features is a festive saison to open 2019. Open fermented with a unique Norwegian farmhouse yeast, the beer shows wonderful depth with complex fruity notes and a pleasant, earthy honey-like flavor to match the Mecca Grade raw rye in the grist. New Features finishes appetizingly dry like a classic saison. Made in collaboration with longtime Portland brewer Corey Blodgett who visited us from his new home in Wisconsin. 8.25%
Expansions is a light saison aged in oak on late harvest gewürztraminer, showing distinct aromas of lychee and deep, complex rose. A soft allspice note fills in the background. Bracingly dry and pleasantly tart, the beer elegantly expresses how saison and wine can easily link up. 6% Upright Extra Dry is a pale ale done "brut" style and featuring comet as a dryhop above a backbone of other "c" hops - cascade, citra, and chinook, all yielding a strong nose but in a more drinkable format than the usual IPA base employed for the new, trendy style. 5.5% Fatali Four is a light, wheat based saison aged in vintage casks for over one year with fresh fatali peppers grown by Marvin Estates added during the last two months of maturation. The beer combines a complex wild yeast profile with citric gin barrel notes and the fruity, spicy peppers. 4.75% Irrational IPA is done west coast style - extra light and dry with a huge hop load. Our take uses vic secret, cascade, and citra in the kettle followed by open fermentation with classic American ale yeast, finishing with a mosaic/exp.7270 dryhop. 6.9% Illusionist Lager hides away from traditional styles, combining a wheat based grist with vic secret, cascade, huell melon, and mt.hood hops. Our house lager yeast makes all the rough edges disappear, leaving a hop forward brew of impossible smoothness. 6.2% Zetterberger Lager is a two-way beer - smooth and flavorful. Loosely based on the märzen style, it shows tasty malt character and nice balance end to end. 5.1% Veenbes Saison was brewed for the change from fall to winter. A brown saison that starts with a spicy nose, the Veenbes transitions from malty flavors up front to a tart middle created by cranberries added mid-fermentation. The finish is smooth and dry, making this seasonal beer easy drinking. 7% Cereveza blends two select casks of Ives aged twenty months. Slow and steady maturation in our basement barrel cellar helped this batch yield a balanced, complex profile. Black pearl cherries were added over the summer, bringing bright flavors that contrast the earthy notes from the well aged beer. Brewed for tenth anniversary of Saraveza, one Portland's best bars. 7.5% Self Portrait in Three Colors is a blend of Nepali peppercorn and sage infused witbier with a specially selected cask of our lambic inspired Ives. Brewed with Jon and Parker Hall for the 2018 Willamette Week Pro/Am, this three-way collaboration is designed to showcase the brewers' combined love of unique ingredients, processes, and terroir. 5% Cherry Wood Smoked Stout is our annually released rotating smoked beer and the first time we've chosen a base style outside of Germany. The core is a classic stout with rich chocolate malt flavor contrasted by just the right amount of roastiness, while the cherry malt fills in like you'd expect with warm smoke and wood flavors. 5.4% Basement #1 was brewed with Shilpi Halemane, head brewer at Logsdon. We centered the recipe around a classic farmhouse ale yeast and two southern hemisphere hops - rakau and vic secret. A simple grist with a bit of spelt formed the base, while a hot, open fermentation yielded a yeast profile to match the unique hopping. 5.6% Doppelgänger is a beer making use of the spent pinot noir grapes from the 2018 Oregon Native. The beer was simply made with 100% pils malt and aged hops, open fermented with our house saison yeasts, and then transferred into the fruit laden casks for about five months. Straightforward at first, the doppelgänger opens as it warms with a breadth of pinot character and appropriate oak notes. 6.5% Movement 001 was brewed in collaboration with Steve D’Eva of Foreign Objects Beer. The beer combines a grist of Skagit Valley malt and Oregon triticale with whole leaf columbia and a large addition of loral hops, both lending a pleasant herbal lemon character that goes well with a delicate cucumber note found in the malt. An ultra dry finish full of minerality makes the Movement 001 akin some very inspirational well hopped rustic French ales. 5.7% Apricot Pathways is a unique blend that combines select casks of our stock barrel aged saison with a few casks of a fresh apricot wheat based saison brewed in the summer of 2017. A small amount of fresh wit beer brewed with calendula was also added to lend a contrasting floral note to the deep fruit character. 8% |
