@ Gigantic Taproom – 5224 SE 26th Ave
We’ll be releasing MASSIVE! – our long-boil barley wine. There will be one keg of MASSIVE! on tap and a limited number of 22oz bottles for sale. The MASSIVE! label features artwork from Portland artist AJ Fosik, who will be debuting a new piece of art at the event. http://www.ajfosik.com
MASSIVE!
Brewers in the midlands of England would boil their barley wine ales longer to intensify their flavors. In making MASSIVE!, we used only British Halcyon pale malt and boiled it for eight hours, giving the beer 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% ABV
Details: Must be 21+ years of age to attend, pay as you go.
