Natian Brewery

As if Portland didn’t have enough riches, now they seem to cornering the market on the new wave of smaller or nano breweries. First it was Upright which has now grown by leaps and bounds, that was followed by Captured by Porches and now Natian Brewery.

Here is their list of beers…
Honey Red – 4.5% 40 IBU
Made with local Oregon honey, this beer has contrasting flavors of dark roasts and sweet bee sugar, infused together to bring you a well blended red ale. It’s all buzz and no sting!

Mild IPA – 7.3% 75 IBU
An IPA for non-Hop Heads. This IPA has a sweet floral aroma and just enough hops to leave you with a mildly bitter aftertaste. The premise for this beer is to use the same hops associated with IPA’s, only toned down enough to still be considered an IPA and yet smooth (mild) enough to drink all day, not to mention, everyday.

High Gravity Pale Ale – 8.0% 70 IBU
Smooth and clean with a mild malt character up front and just a hint of bitterness to round out the aftertaste. Leaves the pallet wondering where the 8% ABV was hiding.

I love the words “newly opened brewery”. If you are in the Chicago area look up this Goose Island alum.

Here is their beer list…
Cross of Gold
An american blonde ale that redefines the style with bursts of fruity aroma and a dry finish.

Iron Fist Pale Ale
An amber pale ale dry hopped with a blend of American hops.

Workingman Mild Ale
Drinkable brown session beer with a nutty, toffee flavor. Served lightly carbonated from a traditional Brittish handpump.

Bottom Up White Ale
Light, refreshing wheat beer spiced with coriander and orange peel

Moon River Brewing

We stay in Georgia to get a taste of Moon River Brewing, they first came to my attention via BeerAmerica.TV 

They make a Wild Wacky Wit, Captain’s Porter, Savannah Fest, Swamp Fox IPA and Slow-vannah Pale Ale. What I like about them is that when you check out the beers on their website, right next to the beer description is a food pairing. I’m seeing that more and more but there’s is done pretty well.

Fifty Fifty Brewing

from Truckee California comes today’s brewery.

5050“Find Your Balance“. You can do that at 50 50 Brewing. They have Belgian inspired beers as well as the usual pale and IPA culprits like this beer that I recently had..
Rockslide IPA
If being in one of the coldest places in the US isn’t extreme enough, the contents of this beer may very well redefine your commitment to the pursuit of hops. Rockslide IPA is brewed in the ‘West Coast’ style with aggressive amounts of American hops such as Amarillo, Centennial and Summit hops. You are greeted with a full frontal assault of citrus/grapefruit/pine hop character, followed up with malt to balance the mouthfeel. This beer is all about hops.

65 IBU / 6.7% ABV
