If you are reading this blog, you probably know what hops are, so we’ll spare you the basics. At this point in the craft beer world, lots of people not only know that they like “hoppy beer”, but they know what specific hop varieties they prefer, too. Long gone are the days of Cascade, Centennial, and Chinook leading the bitter charge in your IPA. They now play second fiddle to the modern, fruit-forward, aroma and flavor hops you commonly see listed on the menu: Galaxy, Citra, Mosiac, El Dorado, etc. Hop farms now spend lots of lab time cross breeding...

  Years ago, before the Hazy IPA trend arrived in the Pacific Northwest, Head Brewer Adam McClure brought in the first boxes of Citra and Galaxy ever at Everybody’s Brewing, and with them, a whole new style of brewing. Gone were the traditional kettle additions and single small dry hops. Instead, he brought in oats, wheat, and massive hop charges of super fruity aroma hops. Hoppy AF was a game changer for how we thought about our IPA’s. Our approach has never been the same since. After a few years of hiatus, we’re proud to release the return batch of...

PDX BEER WEEK IS UPON US and we are pumped to be participating in two awesome events this year. First up is the Weird Beer Bonanza at Imperial Bottle Shop (Alberta st.) from June 7th to 9th. Our friend Alex Kurnellas at Imperial sifts through submissions to curate a great list of amazingly weird beers. The festival highlights brews that “strayed from the beaten path to scintillae your taste buds with the weirdest of ingredients and brewing methods.” Five bucks gets you a glass (or bring last years), and tasting tickets are $2, or $10 to taste all 15 beers. That’s...

Kveik: The beer that's as fun to say as it is to drink! Let’s get a couple things straight:  Kveik is not actually the style of beer, but rather the yeast strain used by Norwegian brewers to ferment their farmhouse ales. It’s pronounced “kah-veek” -  a word that comes from a specific Norwegian dialect and in English translates to “yeast.”  It’s super fun to say. Give it a try, we think you’ll agree! Steve, the Owner and Head Brewer at Lanikai Brewing. By The Powers Of Kviek Most modern breweries typically use a single yeast stain, controlled and propagated in a...

When most people hear “oyster” used in the name of a beer, it doesn’t make them too thirsty (which is perfectly understandable). However, take a quick read through this post about our collaboration with Chelsea Oyster Farm and I think you’ll find your mouth watering for a taste. We’re also announcing two cool events you won’t want to miss. We teamed up with Chelsea Oyster Farms on this project and they were amazing to work with. They grow and harvest sustainable oysters on inlets near Olympia, WA. They are famous for growing a variety called the “Chelsea Gem.” The farm...
