We brought you the news of Larry Sidor (formerly of Deschutes) new brewing project. The story & video are here. At that time the brewery was literally named “Yet To Be Named Brewery" and ”Soon to be named” in Bend OR. Now comes word that the official brewery name will be Crux Fermentation Project. Here’s their official news:
Crux Fermentation Project…what does it mean anyway?
crux: noun,
1. a vital, basic, decisive, or pivotal point. “The crux of the matter.”
2. something that torments by its puzzling nature; a perplexing difficulty.
Our name, "Crux", celebrates the moment where tension and conflict meet. It’s that critical do or die moment where everything comes together— striking that perfect balance. Some people perform their best in these moments, and surely the moment inspires innovation ...and creativity to push through. We’re not pursuing convention— we want to face the “crux of the matter” and push through to the other side. What’s there? We can’t wait to find out.
More details here too.
"Fermentation Project" also has meaning for us. Fermentation lies at the “crux” or “the pivotal point” of the brewing process. And Project best describes the process we’ve experienced in sharing our dream with friends, families and a wide variety of beer lovers from both inside and outside the industry. With each step, more and more people have joined us and contributed to the vision. We had an ah-ha moment— we realized this will always be a “project”— experimental and collaborative at its core.
