Seasonal & one-off brews
Porter is a classic, done London style with our English ale yeast, full of bready and caramelly malt flavors but smooth across the palate and never sweet. It’s a remarkably well balanced brew that can satisfy pint after pint. 5.2%
Fresh Hop Pub Ale makes elegant use of fresh citra hops in a flavorful, low alcohol brew designed for sessionability. Starting as a well balanced, open fermented base beer made with Yorkshire ale yeast, a light addition of the farm fresh citra hops during fermentation lends this Pub Ale complex fruit notes that play well with the yeast expression. 4.5% Oktoberfest is a traditional German lager, with solid malt flavors from the first whiff on through the finish. Our take is medium bodied with a pleasant mid-palate sweetness that turns extra soft on the tail end thanks to extensive lagering time. 5% Fresh Hop Sideline is built on a base of foeder and barrel aged saison. Already dank and fruity before blending, the beer reaches a new level with the addition of fresh citra hops, with deeper tropical notes and an oil rich mouthfeel. The Sideline is intended to be flavorful and forward but restrained enough to remain sessionable. 5.4% West Coast Ghost takes our award winning WW Pro/Am beer from last summer and transforms it through a specific set of barrels – pinot, nocino, and fortified muscat, all of which add extra layers to the already complex brew that incorporated Nepali and sansho peppercorn and fresh Russian sage. A small addition of black lime just before kegging is the final touch. 4.3% 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% Sorcery IPA is a one-off made with a tasty blend of citra, amarillo, centennial, and el dorado, creating deep hop character that blends seamlessly with our house yeast profile. The Sorcery has smooth bitterness and a classic, lasting finish. 6.75% Little Beers is a session wheat beer made in collaboration with Aslan Brewing of Bellingham. While extra low in alcohol, this beer has tons of character from a combination of two different lots of citra hops and our house blend of yeasts, straddling a line between historic farmhouse blondes and modern hoppy ales. 3.6% 2019 Oregon Native is the annual release of our pinot noir laden collaboration with Patton Valley Vineyards. Using estate grown fruit and only their orchard culture, we produce a barrel fermented beer without any typical yeasts. The Oregon Native shows characteristics of natural wine, with complex acidity driving classic pinot flavors. 8% Special Herbs is an annual botanical saison made with lemongrass, Sichuan peppercorns, hyssop, and two types of orange peel. This batch was aged in one nocino barrel, one gin barrel, and three very old wine barrels, with each one adding distinct elements to the profile, ultimately producing a bright, tonic-like beer. 5.7% Primitivo Red is a classic, well balanced ale. Deep in color and smooth on the palate, the Primitivo uses a blend of British malts and cascade and columbus hops in the kettle for a full, rounded flavor that emphasizes softness on the finish for high drinkability. A touch of huell melon dryhops lends the beer a gentle floral and fruity note that matches perfectly with our house ale yeast. 5.7% Resonant IPA is a well layered brew blending mosaic, styrian dragon, and sticklebract hops, all three of which show well throughout. A wide profile ranging from earthy and dank to subtropical fruits and bitter citrus make this IPA both complex and satisfying. 6.4% Foeder Five brings back our longtime hoppy saison recipe but creates something new after a pass through one of our foeders. Easy drinking but complex at the same time, the Foeder Five drinks with an Orval-esque character, combining a brettanomyces rich profile with deep hopping and rustic metallic notes. A long, dry finish caps the experience. This is a beer for old school enthusiasts who love Orval and other quirky gems from breweries like De Ranke and Brasserie à Vapeur. 5.75% Off Season IPA is the latest in our new series of one-off open fermented IPAs, using an extra potent blend of whole leaf columbus, mosaic, and medusa hops - a new variety with a unique profile that threaded well with the rest, creating a fruity and dank character that tastes great! 6.4% Flora Rustica, brewed annually since 2009, is a botanical saison made with Oregon grown ingredients, including Mecca Grade malt from Madras and homegrown yarrow. It carries an Italian style vermouth/amaro character into the world of craft beer, with appetizing, herbal bitterness and complex aromatics. 5.7% Oishi IPA blends complex, fruity hops with Mecca Grade malt for a bright, summer IPA. Whole leaf el dorado in the kettle and a huell melon dryhop yield strawberry and cantaloupe notes, while a touch of raw rye and Styrian colibri provides a contrasting earthiness. 6.75% 2019 Hearts’ Beat is the annual release of our barrel fermented beer featuring dark cherries from Baird Family Orchard. The 2019 vintage was aged one year in oak and blended entirely for draft, using a varietal mix of about 60% chelan and 40% black pearl to lend the beer a blood red color and tannin loaded flavor reminiscent of bold wines.

A nearly 100 F open fermentation with kveik yeast makes this beer flavorful and rustic, threading layers of yeast derived notes with the terroir of its ingredients – earthy, spicy orange meets herbal, chalky slate in this one of a kind of blonde. 5.4% Full Spectrum IPA is brewed with 100% whole leaf cascade and simcoe, highlighting classic character in a soft, well balanced IPA that allows some malt and yeast profile to contribute – an antidote to the narrow and tiresome one dimensional hoppy beers seen everywhere. 5.5% Adult IPA is a straightforward beer, using hop varieties from New Zealand and our house ale yeast. Light and dry with spicy hop notes, this IPA is made for fans of real beer. 6.4% Upright & Away Days Saison was made in collaboration with Marshall Kunz, the man in charge of the upcoming brewery in SE Portland. Belgian pils and French wheat malts create a classic core, with loads of Styrian wolf and kolibri hops and our house saison yeasts yielding awesome spicy, fruity, and herbal notes. 5.7% Illusionist Lager hides away from traditional styles, combining a wheat based grist with comet, meridian, mandarina, and columbia hops. Our house lager yeast makes all the rough edges disappear, leaving a hop forward brew of impossible smoothness. 6.2% Irrational IPA is done west coast style - extra light and dry with a huge hop load. This batch uses exp. 07270 exclusively in the kettle followed by open fermentation with our new house IPA yeast, finishing with a waimea/columbus dryhop. 6.7% Upright Stock Ale is a true beer drinker's beer. A wonderfully balanced strong ale using malt, hops, and yeast sourced from the UK, traditional character is abound in this open fermented homage to Bridgeport. 6.8% Anniversary Saison comes in two forms for our tenth birthday - draft and bottle conditioned. The draft version blends five wine barrels and one gin barrel, evident right away in the nose with an oily, botanical nuance. An earthy hop component plays off the oak, with everything coming together under a rustic profile honoring the older brewers who’ve inspired us. 6.25% Foeder Doppelbock is the first beer to come from our newest addition to the barrel program at Upright. Proudly made with 100% domestically grown and malted barley, then lagered in American oak, this doppelbock balances a warm and rich grain profile with an oaky edge that opens as it warms. 8% Sherry Finish Vanilla Quad is a celebratory brew made for our tenth anniversary. A big, complex beer that started in our open fermenter and later matured in a new foeder, the quad spent it's final weeks in sherry casks with whole Madagascar vanilla beans. Layers of fruit and caramel notes fill in around the vanilla making for a fun but heavily nuanced flavor. 10% Vintage Ives Blend is a draft-only cut of our best casks, dating back to 2016 and 2017. This select blend shows complex brettanomyces development in the nose and layers of well integrated and balanced acidity, finishing with long lasting minerality and appetizing dryness. 6.2% Barrel Aged Wit was brewed last summer with 100% Skagit Valley Malt of northern WA. Traditional spicing of coriander and bitter orange was supplemented with calendula flowers, a favorite here at Upright. The wit then spent several months in old pinot barrels with Baird Family Orchard apricots before being blended just in time for the brewery’s tenth anniversary. 4.5% Black Walnut Celebration Lager was brewed in collaboration with Holly Amlin, author of the PDXBeerGirl website. This beautifully balanced beer began with a straightforward grist similar to a schwarzbier but with deeper malt character. The addition of hand picked and preserved black walnuts and a bit of Steven Smith Honeybush tea layers the profile with a soft nuttiness and gentle vanilla-like note, yielding a very flavorful yet elegant and easy drinking brew. 5.9% Foolish Farmhouse is a session style brew inspired by a favorite from Brussels, using a simple grist of pils and wheat with plenty of willamette and saaz hops. A very warm open fermentation makes this beer flavorful and rustic, threading its ingredients with our house yeast blend seamlessly. 5% Hoppy Pub Ale is a throwback to dank, bitter beers, and perfect to celebrate the closing weeks of winter.
