We're thrilled to unveil the latest addition to our Weirdtastic Series – Bud Clark Coffee Stout! Crafted in honor of former Portland mayor and Goose Hollow Inn pub owner, Bud Clark, this unique brew is a celebration of his love for robust coffee and dark beer.
What sets this stout apart is the specially produced Coava Coffee Cold Brew made exclusively for this beer. We collaborated closely with the Coava Coffee Roasting Team, conducting a meticulous cupping to select a fifty/fifty blend of Los Naranjos and Fazenda Serra do Bone coffees. The result? A specially crafted cold brew with delightful notes of caramel, dark chocolate, and fruit.
Bud Clark, known for his unconventional and approachable style during his tenure as Portland's mayor from 1985 to 1992, has left an indelible mark on the city. A champion of alternative transportation, public art, and Oregon beer, Bud Clark embodies Portland's reputation as fiercely independent and a little weird. As a tavern owner, he gained national attention with the iconic "Expose Yourself to Art" poster, reflecting his irreverent yet inclusive approach.
Beyond his political legacy, Bud Clark's enduring symbol is the playful poster that mirrors his grassroots and personable approach to public service. His leadership contributed to Portland's transformation into a creative and innovative hub, fostering community engagement, progressive values, and urban development.
But that's not all – when you enjoy Bud Clark Coffee Stout, you're not just savoring a unique blend of flavors; you're also contributing to the community. Proceeds from the Weirdtastic Series of beers are donated to Weird Portland United, a nonprofit that supports the artistic risk-takers who make our city wonderfully weird.
So, join us in raising a glass to Bud Clark, to Portland's spirit of independence, and to the wonderfully weird community that makes it all possible. Bud Clark Coffee Stout is available at all three Gigantic locations, as well as select craft beer bottle shops and bars across the Portland area.
Whoop! Whoop!
We're thrilled to announce this year's highly anticipated release of our MASSIVE! Barleywine and the Most Most Premium Imperial Stout! Join us in celebrating on Friday, November 17th, at all three Gigantic locations. In a departure from the past, we're introducing just one MASSIVE! and one Most Most varietal this year. Don't miss the chance to be part of this exclusive unveiling.
2023 MASSIVE! Bourbon Barrel Aged
Prepare your taste buds for a journey into richness and intensity. Brewed with Skagit Pilot Pale and Pils Malts, this barleywine boasts a deep ruby color and a flavor profile that's been meticulously crafted through an 8-hour boil. Aged in select bourbon barrels for nearly 2 years, MASSIVE! invites you to savor its complexities now or witness its evolution after years of patient aging.
2023 Most Most Premium Rum Barrel and Coconut Imperial Stout
Darker than the uncaring hearts of the czars of Russia and richer than their estates, we first aged this year's Most Most Premium Imperial Stout for over two years in rum barrels, then added luscious coconut to create a beer experience that is truly an embodiment of decadence.
Both of these exceptional beers will be available at all three Gigantic locations starting this Friday - Brewery & Champagne Lounge (5224 SE 26th Ave), Hawthorne Pub (4343 SE Hawthorne), and Robot Room (6935 NE Glisan St). Can't make it to the brewery? Keep an eye out and ask for them at your favorite craft beer bottle shop or grocer in the Portland metro area.
But that's not all - we've saved a limited quantity of our 2022 releases, aged to perfection in our chilled cellar. This includes the sought-after 2022 MASSIVE! Irish Whiskey, Islay Scotch, Rum, and Rye barrel-aged variants, as well as the 2022 Most Most Premium Mezcal and Scotch barrel-aged editions.
These beers are the perfect companions for holiday celebrations, and they also make exceptional gifts for friends and loved ones. Consider stocking up and laying them down in your cellar for an aging experience that only gets better with time.
Throughout November and December, join us as we tap kegs of this year's MASSIVE! Bourbon Barrel Aged and Most Most Premium Rum & Coconut, along with kegs from previous years. We will rotate which varietal is on tap throughout the holiday season.
The labels on these extraordinary releases tell a story of their own.
The MASSIVE! label, a creation of artist Ben Venom. Renowned for his textile-based artwork, Ben stitches together a tapestry of rebellion and nostalgia, weaving heavy metal and pop culture into the very fabric of his creations. Drawing on his background in fine arts and love for all things subversive, Venom transforms humble materials like vintage band t-shirts and discarded denim into fierce, larger-than-life quilts that defy convention.
Meanwhile, the Most Most Premium label was designed by the late Frank Kozik. Best known for his revolutionary poster art that defined the alternative music scene in the '90s, Kozik has seamlessly blended elements of surrealism, satire, and psychedelia to create a body of work that is as diverse as it is captivating. From his roots in the punk rock ethos to his forays into vinyl toy design, Kozik's portfolio is a kaleidoscope of bold colors, irreverent characters, and a sharp wit that challenges the status quo.
Don't miss the chance to be part of this exclusive release. Join us this Friday, November 17th.
