Description
Coalition Brewing was born out of a serendipitous chance encounter between owners Kiley Hoyt and Elan Walsky. Both began as home brewers and received formal brewing education through the Siebel Institute in Chicago.
Their love of beer and the brewing process is the impetus for the Coalator Program, which encourages local home brewers to brew their recipes in the brewery and serve them at the pub.
Coalition Brewing prides itself on highly balanced, drinkable beers.
Admin Note: Coalition closed in 2019 after being purchased by Gorges Beer Co.

Bomber from Made in Oregon. Pours dark brown with a frothy 4 finger beige head. Aromas of chocolate and sugar. Med body with frothy carb. Flavor is dark malt and chocolate with what seems to be a hint of coffee. So far I’m not getting clear maple l- but there is a dark sweetness in the background. To me it’s finishing on the dry side. With earth and astringency compared to many porters. With a lot of time I think I’m getting some maple.

Bomber from Made in Oregon. Pours translucent orange with a transient white head. Aroma is fruity. Med body or better. Flavor is fruity with a touch of citrus and a burp of pine. Malt supports the hop. Finish is a bit muddled, but it’s hoppy with a little burn.

Can, consumed at home 30/05/13, acquired at Beermongers PDX. Pours light black with a thin tan head that clears to a film and edgeing. Nose is light roast, biscuit notes, tropical fruits, light cocoa, hops. Taste is roasty, light cocoa, hops, gentle pine, biscuit. Medium bodied, a little thin, moderate carbonation, bitterness in the finish. Drinkable but a pretty middle of the road CDA lacking the hop and pine bite I enjoy for this style.

Sample from firkin at the 6th Annual Rogue Firkin Fest at Green Dragon. The beer is a dark mahogany color with a medium creamy khaki head that dissipates steadily. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, pine and malt. Medium body with flavors of roast malt, piney hops and a bit of chocolate. The finish is roasty with a malt aftertaste. Decent overall.
