East Side Bitter (ESB)

by alexthegraham, posted in Release

This English ale comes to the Eastside of Portland, as part of the latest in the Garagleand series. Inspired by the brewers of Burton-on-Trent, this ale is built on traditional British roots using a single-step infusion mash, combining floor malted Halcyon Barley malt, biscuit, crystal, and a touch of chocolate malt. This amber ale delivers notes of bread and biscuit, with restrained toffee flavors, all balanced with the perfect trio of Northern Brewer, Fuggle and Willamette hops – and Burtonized water for an authentic experience.

Export Kölsch

A Portland take on a European classic. Export Kölsch combined a blend of Continental malt and noble hops to produce this festival-grade, light, hybrid beer. Light in color and body but full of balanced flavor and refreshment.

Drachenrauch – Dragon’s Smoke

by alexthegraham, posted in Release

This traditional smoked Märzen is part of the Garageland series from one of our newest GD brewers. Brewed for the last ten years in a small garage in SW Portland, this recipe has been scaled up, cleaned up, and has gotten some new boots.

Utilizing a single decoction mash, and built on a hearty base of Weyermann Smoked Malt, this lager provides a depth of balance between the beechwood smoke profile that carries throughout and the elegant and clean German amber lager character.

So get out your b*!l$#it detector and have a pint or two!

Long Strange Trip Export Lager

by alexthegraham, posted in Release

It’s been a long, strange fourteen months since we were last able to raise a glass together, but we’re back with a subtle and refreshing lager with a noble hop aroma and a clean pilsner malt profile – perfect for hot summer days on the patio.

Welcome back, Portland, and “Prost!”
