Description
Great Notion Brewing is a project started by three friends; Andy Miller, James Dugan, and Paul Reiter. All three guys met each other out of coincidence, they live on the same street in North Portland. Andy and James met each other while home brewing in 2010, and began developing recipes and building a friendship. Together they have 25 years of brewing experience with medals in the National Homebrew Competition for fruit lambic and Double IPA. Paul Reiter has a degree in business and finance with a focus on start-ups and creative enterprise . In April of 2014, the boys finally got together and shared some home brew. On this night they enjoyed a Stout with hand smoked Vienna malt, a 3 year old Peach Sour, and a 10% double IPA. It’s fair to say, on this night, Great Notion Brewing was born.

On tap at Great Notion, pours an opaque bright reddish pink with a small pink head. Aroma brings out notes of wood, fresh dark cherry skins and some wild yeast. Flavour is deep, with lots of wood, tart dark cherries and a touch of wild critters in there. Very tart but quite dynamic as well. Really good.

On tap at Great Notion, pours an opaque cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank piney hops, tropical fruits and biscuity malt to back. Flavour is very clouded, with dirty pithy stone fruits, dank hops and astringent chalky notes. Everything I don't like about hipster NE IPAs. Dirty and yeasty. It's okay.

On tap at Great Notion, pours a clear bright reddish pink with a small white head. Aroma is just like a strawberry shortcake, with a perfect sweetness character. Flavour follows through, with medium sweetness, light tartness and of course, decadent strawberry shortcake. Really tastes like the cake. Lovely stuff.
