Beers

We’re a small brewery, which allows us to make many different beers, some regularly, while others are quick creative outbursts. Our rotating beers are brewed year round, but are not always in stock. Most of our beer is available on draft, but some are bottle conditioned in capped 750ml bottles.

Year Round

  • Urban Farmhouse Ale

    ABV: 5.3% || Traditionally, Farmhouse Ales were brewed on farms in the French and Flemish regions of Belgium. These beers were born out of necessity as most water was not potable and the farmers needed a refreshing beverage to offer the hardworking farmhands. Our rendition was developed in the spirit of that tradition. The beer pours golden with a floral nose and a soft underlying hop bitterness with a crisp finish.

    Draft, 750ml Bottle

  • Pils

    ABV: 5% || A Northern German style Pilsner, which translates to a dry, crisp beer with a strong floral bitterness.

    Draft

  • Myrtle

    ABV: 5% || A tart farmhouse ale. Myrtle has a pleasant acidity from a Lactobacillus fermentation. Lemony Meridian hops grown in Silverton, Oregon enhances the citrus character of our house Lactobacillus culture and the fruity ester profile of our house farmhouse yeast.

    Draft, Seasonal 750ml Bottle

  • Flemish Kiss

    ABV: 6.3% || A foudre aged American brett ale.

    750ml Bottle

Summer Seasonals

  • Fleur de Blanc

    ABV: 5.2% || A white farmhouse with rose hips, rose pedals and elder flowers. The addition of spelt provides a foundation for the delicate floral characters to build on. A wonderful summer thirst quencher!

Winter Seasonals

  • Fleur de Ferme

    ABV: 6% || A dark farmhouse ale with hibiscus, lavender and chamomile added at the end of the boil. Malted Spelt provides a silky full body that supports the late-kettle flower additions.

  • Bourbon Little Brother

    ABV: 10% || A portion of Little Brother is added to Heaven Hill bourbon barrels after primary fermentation where it picks up a rich, bourbon flavor. After a few months this is then blended back with a non-barrel aged version that had been cold conditioning.

  • Boysen

    ABV: 10% || Brewed for the 2012 Holiday Ale Fest, this was a Imperial Belgian Porter fermented with our yeast from De Dolle Brouwers, then finished with Boysenberries in the brite tank.

  • Cerise Noir

    ABV: 6% || Cerise Noir is a tart, light bodied dark farmhouse ale with sweet and tart cherries added during fermentation.

  • Biere de Garde

Beetje Series

Beetje, a Flemish word for 'little bit', the garage brewery lives on through these small batch, experimental, beers.

  • Plum Bretta

    **ABV: 5.4% || Currently Unavailable - Plum Bretta is a farmhouse ale fermented with our house culture Brettanomyces blend before aging in wine barrels with 250 pounds of local plums from our friends at High Grove Farms in Helvetia, Oregon.

  • Brotherly Love

    ABV: 10% || Released Every February - Brotherly Love is our Belgian Dark Strong Ale, Little Brother, aged in second-use Bourbon barrels with Northwest grown sour cherries and Ecuadorian cacao nibs roasted by Woodblock Chocolate in SE Portland.
