At Upright one beer is produced year round specifically for draft, the Engelberg Pilsener. It's made in a north German style, using a classic Munich lager yeast that showcases the simple recipe while providing plenty of character. Named after Mt.Angel, where the Tettnanger hops in this beer are grown, the Engelberg hits the palate with a firm bitterness but remains light and with a delicate balance. It's the house draft at both the Grain and Gristle and Old Salt Marketplace, and can be found at many Portland area bars and restaurants. 4.75%, 35 IBU's

The brewery tasting room pours an exclusive barrel aged sour ale named Four Play. It's based on our year round wheat beer, the Four, but transformed after spending one year in casks with tart cherries and a variety of yeasts and bacteria.   The annual ten cask blend yields a snappy beer with strong aromatics and a complex finish full of oak and minerality. 5%

Below is a list of the most recent one-off brews produced for draft:

Apple Wood Smoked Helles Bock is just as it sounds. We do an annual rauchbier with rotating woods and base styles, finding over the years that sweeter beers tend to balance the smoke nicely, so for 2016 we settled on a helles bock. Using a custom smoker we processed 220 pounds of malt over local apple wood, creating a classic aroma that suits the light yet malty beer just right. Fermented with a blend of two lager yeasts for lots of flavor and a soft finish. 6.7%

Green Hour is a fresh hop saison that has the distinction of incorporating hops from the first and final days of harvest. It started with well over 100 pounds of fuggles picked up just hours after harvest began, going in on the hot side of the brewday on August 17th. The beer was then open fermented with a flavorful French saison yeast and cold conditioned until September 14th, when we added Liberty hops from the very tail end of harvest. Both varieties play well with the fruity and spicy yeast, yielding an exciting beer with an extra dry finish. 6.1%

Saison Vert is a wheat based brew using sun dried black limes that contribute not only an attractive flavor of citrus but also a depth that when combined with our open fermentation method and saison strains, results in a complex profile akin to some white and orange wines fermented with indigenous yeasts. The Vert rides the fine line of being easy and enjoyable but full of nuance. 4.75%

Donuts was first made at Oedipus Brewing in Amsterdam as a collaboration back in late June, and only a month later we had the pleasure of hosting Rick Nelson, one of their founders (and now dear friend), for our own version. The beer is an orange hued saison formulated to emulate the flavor of donuts without using anything artificial. Using a distinct blend of barley and wheat varieties, a little lactose, and a warm, open fermentation, the beer achieves its goal. It's the perfect companion to any non-chocolate plain cake, old fashioned, glazed, cruller, french cruller, jelly filled, or cider donut. 4.9%

Supercool IPA employs open fermentation with our house blend of saison yeasts at cool temperatures, allowing the profile to only hint at its Belgian-esque roots. The Supercool drinks like a classic American IPA, with hop character hitting notes of lemon & orange with wood & pine, while the unique processing and yeasts lend background flavors of apricot and white pepper. The bitterness is firm but smooth all the way to the extra dry finish. 6.5%

Oktoberfest is a nice departure from the slew of hoppy pilseners being made by many local breweries, including ourselves. This classic take emphasizes round malt flavors with a contrasting brightness rooted in the lager strain selection, capped by a soft finish that shows how well suited the Bull Run water supply is for the style. 4.8%

Dry Hopped Berliner Weisse is a straightforward open fermented brew that's nicely balanced with only moderate acidity. The addition of opal, willamette, and an experimental hop variety lends the beer an interesting nose with apple and jackfruit showing alongside floral notes. The jackfruit character carries into the flavor which finishes with a bit of wood and pine coming from that experimental hop. 3.9%

Wit was brewed for the OBF and made using specific processes and ingredients - namely sour mashing a portion of the grist, adding distinctly amaro-like bitter orange peels to the kettle, and employing open fermentation with a blend of two yeast strains. The beer is light but flavorful with a pleasant creaminess from both wheat and oats but finishes extra dry. 5.25%

Upright America is the fourth annual release of our crisp macro-style lager. Previous batches were under the name Upright Lite, but you can still expect the same clean flavor, high drinkability, and ultimate refreshment that the Lite is known for. The America pairs well with spicy cheddar and jalapeno summer sausage, and meats like a charbroiled filet mignon. Brewed the hard way! 5%
