Description
Crafting mixed culture ale in the beautiful Pacific Northwest
Founded by partners in life and work, Charles Porter and Brenda Crow, Little Beast is a family brewery with a passion for making great beer and sharing it with others.

We craft wild, wood-aged and blended beer naturally with diverse cultures, including Saccharomyces, Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus, and wild flora. By harnessing the little beasts that ferment our beer, we capture their untamed beauty and produce farmhouse beers that are diverse in flavor and rare in character.

Admin Note: Beer Garden/Tap Room in Portland, production in Clakamas, OR.

On tap at Portland Craft, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with a nice melange of stone fruits, gentle oak, and a touch of wild yeast. Flavour is loaded with tons of stone fruits, so much juicy nectarine and plum especially, with a little oak, and a touch of wild yeast. Lovely fruit character, tempered by a nice oaky character. Excellent.

On tap at Portland Craft, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Nose brings out gentle smoke, caramel malt, a little roast and a touch of candied cocoa. Flavour is a little drier, with cocoa, a little coffee, just a touch of smoke, and a little candied caramel. Well-rounded, with good depth. Could use more smoke, but this is well-done.

On tap at Portland Craft, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma reveals a sort of washed out hop character upfront, with a touch of lacto and some floral notes. Flavour is unusual, with tart, floral notes upfront and dominating, with subdued hops, and a bright citrus note on the finish. Quite tart and very floral. Unusual style but well-executed.

375 c&c from Corti Bros. Cork removed and strawberry wafts from the bottle. Pours translucent gold with an enduring creamy near/off white head. Aroma is strawberry followed by oak/funk followed by strawberry. Med body or so. Flavor is oak/funk/Brett/lacto. Rather tart. Suddenly I realized there are strawberries too, but the attention getting thing is the little beasties' effluvia. Interesting. Tasty too. (Batch 2 - bottled 0119).

Black colour. Quite roasty but still balanced, some dark chocolate, salt, roasted nuts, mild smoke, and some alcohol feeling.
Very good.

Can from Tavour. Pours bright gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma of Perle hops plus a little bread and fruit. Med body. Flavor has a citrus note with some Perle peppery spicy aspects. Really fresh, clean and good tasting. Does finish just a bit bready. Ok, tho cause it has a nice level of bitterness.
