Three new beers from Portlandia

Attention humorless feminist-bookstore owners, DIY musicians, militant bike riders and even more militant animal lovers! Peaks and Pints received three new beers from Portlandia. …

Breakside Brewery

FRENCH QUARTER: Inspired by the flavors of New Orleans’s famous Vieux Carré cocktail, French Quarter is a luscious and rich rye wine-style ale. Three types of malted rye form the base of Breakside‘s extravagant beer, which then aged 15 months in American brandy barrels. 11.1%

Ecliptic Brewing

SIXTH ORBIT HAZY PLUM IPA: Celebrating their sixth anniversary, Ecliptic used real plums along with Amarillo, Chinook, Columbus, Citra, Sabro, BRU-1, and Brewers Gold Hops, for strong plum vibes, balanced well with hazy malt character. 8.6%

Gigantic Brewing

MASSIVE!: Gigantic used only British Marris Otter pale malt and boiled it for eight hours, giving this barleywine a deep ruby color and rich malt flavor. Heavily hopped, MASSIVE! is a beer that can be enjoyed now for its intensity, or after years and years and years of aging. 12%
