Description
Portland Brewing Co. A pioneer of craft beer. Crafting #PortlandOriginals since 1986.

Portland isn’t just in our name, it’s in our blood. We were born from the creativity which the city thrives. Founded by industry pioneers who had no rules or playbook, nevertheless helping shape the Portland beer scene we love today. Everyday we pursue with the same passion and thirst that we had brewing our first beer in 1986. Our dedicated group of brewers brings that passion into every batch, seeking that new amazing flavor. From that passion, each beer is created to celebrate “Portland Originals” like you, who are the creators, old and new, who make up this beautiful city we call home.

Admin Note: Portland Brewing Company merged with Saxer Brewing Company in 2000. In 2004 they sold the company to Pyramid Breweries out of Seattle. The Portland Brewing facility was then renamed MacTarnahan's Brewing Company later that year. In 2008 Pyramid Brewing was acquired by Magic Hat Brewing. In 2010 Magic Hat was bought by North American Breweries. Finally in 2012 Florida Ice & Farm Co. (FIFCO USA) acquired North American Breweries and with it the Portland Brewing brand. In 2013, FIFCO announced it would go back to the Portland Brewing Company name in order to better capitalize on the brands original roots.

Light flavour. Thin mouthfeel for the style. Almost cidery fruitiness. I've had much better.

As fruit beers go, it's not half bad. It's not Kriek Girardin, but think about how many people you see drinking all that alcoholic lemonade crap. There's really no comparison. I've used this stuff to wean a few people off that drek in my lifetime. You should too.
