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 Little Beast, pours a fairly clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright dry hops and light lacto. Flavour is very yogurty, with lots of dry hops, lots of lacto, and biscuity notes. Yogurty, floral finish. Not the most complex, but it's pleasant.

On tap at Little Beast, pours a deep dark mahogany with a tiny head. Nose brings out deep dark cherry notes, with gentle Belgian yeast. Flavour reveals intense dark red cherries upfront, with light Belgian yeast, alcohol, and moderate tartness. The montmorency cherries are nicely situated and offer a great depth. Very good.

On tap at Little Beast, pours a cloudy bright reddish pink with a small white head. Aroma brings out leather, horse blanket, and wonderfully fresh, musty cherries. Flavour is damn close to an authentic Belgian kriek lambic, with tart, juicy, dry cherries, barnyard funk, and horse blanket. Wonderful interplay between the fruit and souring bacteria. Lovely.

On tap at Little Beast, pours a cloudy dull golden with a medium white head. Aroma is very musty and earthy, with lots of feet-like brett, rustic saison yeast, and some cereal graininess. Flavour is along the same lines, with tons of musty brett, farmhouse notes, and just a hint of residual sweetness. Despite the strange mustiness, it's very pleasant. Good stuff.

Aroma brings out loads of Pinot Noir grape, tart cherries (even though there aren't any here), with a touch of coriander. Flavour is loaded with fresh cherries upfront, with red grapes, and moderate tartness. Fruit-dominated and funky. This is lovely.
