Description
Our mission has been to produce vibrant, quality and innovative beer with a truly authentic team of humans since 2015. Structures Brewing was founded by James Alexander after spending years working at breweries in Washington, Pennsylvania, and Vermont.
In 2021, forces were joined when Bryan Cardwell partnered with James. Bryan comes from a background of world class brewing experience in Washington and Oregon. Together they have meshed their skills of brewing great hoppy beer and lager beer... while also loving to explore the realms of curiosity in Imperial Stouts, Barleywines and Smoothie Sours.

On tap at Structures - Holly, pours an opaque milky yellow with a small white head. Nose is pretty chalky, with plenty of hopburn, not much distinguishable hop expression. Flavour is much the same: egregious hopburn, plenty of chalk, rough graininess. There’s not really anything nice about this. Poor.

On tap at Ponderosa, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some skunky, grassy notes, and straw. Flavour is clean, with a grassy hop bite, crisp biscuity malt, and some straw. Clean and reasonably punchy for the style. Decent.

On tap at Structures - State St, pours black with a small tan head. Nose is full of dark chocolate, vanillin, huge bourbon barrel, and oak. Flavour is very rich, with deep bourbon barrels, tons of sticky dark sugars, cocoa, and some vanillin. The barrel character is maybe not the most exquisite but the blending and base beer are so sublime that they make up for it. Wonderful stuff.

Can from Tavour. Pours hazy gold with a nice creamy white head. Rather tropical aroma. Med body. It's juicy, but quite bitter. Citrus, pine, grapefruit and arguably mango. Very strong flavor. Very good flavor.

Hazy, low bitterness, lots of fruity el dorado, hop resin, mandarins, the malts are a bit soft and gloopy but it’s good.

Brown and a bit murky, sweet, bourbon, nice dried fruit, toffee. Warming finish, touch of alcohol. This is sweet, rich, layered, decadent. fantastic. Syrupy magic. Sampled on release day - this is backlog.
