Project Pilsner Series - Citra

We love drinking pilsner, so we thought it was about time to start making our own series of pilsner beers that reflect our love of citrusy hops. Our new ‘Project Pilsner’ series is a line of single hop American Pilsners featuring: Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic, Lotus, Crystal. We will brew these delicious hop forward pilsners year-round, except for a brief visit to the celebration of Oktoberfest. The first beer Project Pilsner Citra will be out this Saturday, February 1st.
…
Our series of American Pilsners reinterprets the classic style for the Pacific Northwest. This first version is single hopped with Citra, resulting in a bright, citrusy lager with notes of mandarin and mango.
We have special glassware to celebrate the release. These limited edition 16oz glasses feature the Project Pilsner Citra artwork and cost $6 each. We only brought in a handful, so grab one while you can.
All of the beers in the Pilsner Project series have custom label art by Bene Rohlmann. Bene was born in Münster, Germany and is currently living and working in Berlin. In 2007 he started his formal training in Design, with a major in Illustration at FH Münster and graduated with his diploma in 2012. His artwork combines various traditional techniques such as collage and drawing, and incorporate a random assortment of themes which interest him, such as mexican death cults, traditional art from native tribes, lots of nature related themes like moths and plants, classic Disney movies and old advertisements.
Glow Cloud Hazy IPA

This week marks the return of a Gigantic favorite, Glow Cloud Hazy IPA. Our super juicy, soft and fluffy IPA is loaded with Citra, Simcoe and Crystal hops creating citrusy, tropical, and dank deliciousness.
Glow Cloud’s dreamy label art is by Mexican artists Siamés Escalante. Siamés is a Yucatan born graphic designer and artist currently living in Mexico City. Her work is inspired by Japanese culture and children's books imagery. Her pieces always include themes such as innocence, melancholy and fantasy. While not drawing or painting, Siamés likes to watch Korean dramas in the company of her two sidekicks (aka her cats) Ramen and Brooklyn.

About Gigantic Brewing Company
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
