Have you missed anything at Gigantic Brewing Company, this November? You might want to stop in.
Break out your MAX pass, call up a friend, or walk down the street; because Gigantic Brewing reminded us of some cool $#1t!
As many of you may or may not know, Gigantic is located in an area that isn't exactly on the way to much. If you've been reading the trades, then you've heard about the second location under development. But for now, you have to settle on taking a walk or drive (either by a friend, stranger, or bus) to 5224 SE 26th Ave, Portland, OR 97202. Maybe this is why you might have forgotten that yes, they are a brewery, and yes, they have new beers since the last time you stopped in (if it was more than a month ago).
Starting with what's online right now, we introduce you to All Nighter Imperial Mocha. At 8% Alcohol By Volume, this Imperial Mocha Stout screams to be paired with your Thanksgiving Dinner.

Here's what on the label
Right on Now! Let's jump and spin all night! Some times a collaboration just feels so right! Our friends at Reuben's Brews helped us brew this Northern Soul inspired chocolatey coffee stout with a hint of milk sugar to smooth it all out. Put on your dancing shoes and find out what it's all about.
Next up, we report on the return of a beer, whose name is probably inspired by actual events.
Cat Ate My Stash & Pissed on the Xmas Tree, as it's called, is an India Pale Ale inspired by Gary Larson and no doubt pairs with tree-trimming or fireplace-illuminated moments of deep thoughts with a cat in your lap. At 7.5%, this beer won't break your back or your bladder unless you bought two and drink them in one sitting.

What's on the label
Consider this IPA our holiday gift to you. It's loaded with the dankest, stickiest, drippiest, piniest hops we could get our hands on. This festive beer is the perfect addition to.
The last one on the, get it while it here list, is LP Stout.
Probably brewed while listening to Coltrane, Davis, or Dark Side of the Moon on .5 speed; LP Stout is a Nitro stout that is best consumed in twos while pondering how they get the grooves in that album. Look for this 5.7% sipper on Nitro and in bottles.

What's on the label
Sit back and get deep into the groove. Enjoy a sublime stateof smooth, with notes of espresso, chocolate, and roast backed by a touch of caramel sweetness. A stout with a warm sound and lots of low-end punch.
Finally, we want to bring up Fluffy Tufts, released this past Tuesday, and Electric Hazy DIPA, which will make its appearance next Tuesday (November 26th).
Breaking it down, Fluffy Tufts is 6.3% and joins the ranks of Juicy IPAs resting on shelves and bar tops throughout the region.

What's on the label
This Juicy IPA was brewed with vast amounts of citra, mosaic, simcoe and crystal hops and just dripping with all the citrus and tropical juiciness that you love. Citra and mosaic have quickly become our favorite combinations for juicy IPAs. Add in the pineapple notes of simcoe and the tropical essence of crystal and you have yourself one damn tasty IPA.
Concluding things, Electric Hazy DIPA is your 8% and 104th beer released by Gigantic Brewing Company. Like a bag of oranges, this beer might bruise your liver and your ego. Don't let that stop you from stopping by the brewery for a sip, before walking out the door with a bottle.

What's on the label
We collaborated with our friend Gabe from Anchorage Brewing up in Alaska on this super juicy, soft and fluffy DIPA that's loaded with Citra and Strata hops creating a tropical and citrus intensity. Sure to shock your palette with pleasure
That is it! If these quick jabs don't inspire a trip to the brewery, then at least see if your local will buy a case or keg so you can avoid embarrassment should someone inquire about your opinion on these latest releases from Gigantic.
Gigantic Brewing Company is located (currently) at 5224 SE 26th Avenue Portland, Oregon 97202. For more information including hours and current draft lists, visit https://www.giganticbrewing.com.
ABOUT GIGANTIC BREWING COMPANY LLC
At Gigantic we only do two things: make the best damn IPA in Portland, Oregon and produce seasonal, exciting, flavorful beers, most of which will be brewed only once. Our goal is simultaneously to create new interpretations of classic styles and to ignore those same style guidelines completely and brew whatever our creative natures produce.
We hold ourselves to a simple principle – Never Give an Inch. We vow to start small and (stubbornly) stay small, focusing our efforts on making exceptional beer, rather than a lot of beer. When you drink Gigantic, know that we didn’t just put our names on the label – our effort, imagination, and dry wit are in every bottle.
Look for Gigantic on tap at your local, and in 500ml bottles at your favorite place to buy good beer. Better yet, come visit us at our Tap Room and Champagne Lounge and Taste the Awesome!
Cheers!
Ben & Van
