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.

On tap at The Beer Junction, pours a cloudy rusted amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out sour and lightly sweet red candies and sugar gummies. Flavour is sweet and sour, with red berries, sugar gummy candies, and a touch of vinegar. Finishes sweet and sour; rather artificial. Not happy with that.
