Description
Crux is a crossroads, an intersection, the heart of something. In brewing it's that pivotal point where fermentation happens and anticipation mounts.
We’re Crux Fermentation Project— housed in a former AAMCO Transmission Plant and inspired by our location right in the heart of Bend, Oregon. Our brewery is a one-of-a-kind, built for non-traditional brewing methods like decoction mashing, open fermentation and barrel aging, and for leveraging the limitless possibilities that wild yeast strains and experimental hops present.

Draft at Hops & Bottles. Cloudy golden pour, thin skin of head. Aroma doesn't give away much, and taste follows with notes of suntan oil. A little zesty at the finish, and then nothing. Misses the mark for me.

16oz can at Hops & Bottles. Clear golden pour, one finger persisting white foamy head. Fruity, hoppy aroma. Taste brings some sweet malts in, the hops get bitter and dry, fruity flavors at the back. Clean finish

16oz can from Boise Co-op. Hazy yellow pour, one finger fluffy white head, chunky lacing. Musty, earthy aroma, bread, floral. Taste is crusty bread, faint citrus, sweet, dry. Very subtle flavors coupled with a nice chewy feel. Crushable.
