It's not too often the brewing process requires us to make beer in a mind over matter sort of way. Hot Rocks Lager presented us an opportunity to work with Tony Cornet of Bend Brewing Co. on a collaborative project. Working with our brewers to bring her recipe to fruition, she decided to "rock it" old school.
A robust, dark lager brewed with glowing-hot granite creating a “Super-Boil” that caramelizes the wort, resulting in giving Hot Rocks its caramel and toffee notes. Hot Rocks is one of Port Brewing’s early spring releases.

Pours deep mahogany into a lager stein. Tan head quickly recedes to skim surface. Sweet prune and and dark caramel aromas. Creamy, full and sweet. Dark pit fruit, fig and light smoke aromas. Lasting dark molasses finish.
