–New Beers–
Structures Brewing
Group Think IPA
4.7% ABV. Brewed with oats and hopped at the same rate as many of their double IPAs.
Splash IPA
Summer IPA at 4% ABV. Brewed with oats and spelt. Hopped with citra, amarillo, chinook and simcoe.
Aslan Brewing
Mines of Moria (Dry Hopped Grisette)
5.5% ABV // light body + lemon & lavender notes + refreshing
An interpretation of a nearly forgotten style, said to once be brewed for the miners from the Hainaut province of Belgium. Similar to a saison, this beer is quite refreshing. It draws upon use of Mistral hops in both the whirlpool and dry hop to create a faint fruitiness reminiscent of sweet lemon peel with herbal notes of lavender. A fascinating farmhouse strain from a tiny brewery in Belgium was employed for fermentation, which gives this beer a distinct, yet balanced farmhouse character.
Menace Brewing
Santiam SMASH
Brewed with two-row pale malt and hopped with santiam
Gruff Brewing
8Bit Brunch Punch IPA
4% ABV. Sour IPA brewed with Ekuanot Lupulin powder than fermented with Pink Guava.
