Press Release

Portland, OR - Gigantic Brewing is thrilled to announce its upcoming Kölsch Party, scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 19th from noon-9 pm, at its famous brewery at 5224 SE 26th Ave, Portland, OR 97202. This exciting event will be a celebration of the beloved Kölsch beer style, featuring a diverse selection of nine Kölsch beers from local brewers, live German music, and mouthwatering locally made Kölsch beer sausages.

The Kölsch Party will be a unique opportunity for beer enthusiasts to indulge in a variety of exceptional Kölsch beers crafted not only by Gigantic Brewing but also by some of their esteemed friends in the brewing community. Participating breweries include 54-40, Chuckanut, Double Mountain, Living Haus, Occidental, Rosenstadt, Upright, and Zoiglhaus, all of whom have a reverence for this most delicate of German beers.

A commemorative Kölsch Party stange glass (like they use in Cologne) is just $4, and is required for tasting. Guests can try any of the nine Kölsch style beers for $4 per 12 oz. pour, buying up to 5 beers at a time via a special Kölsch Party coaster.

Adding to the lively atmosphere, the Kölsch Party will feature live German music performances by the talented Festival Brass. Attendees can immerse themselves in the vibrant melodies and rhythms of authentic German tunes throughout the afternoon, enhancing the festive ambiance of the event.

No beer celebration would be complete without delectable food pairings, and the Kölsch Party has that covered too. Otto's Sausage Kitchen, a local favorite known for its exceptional sausages, has prepared special Kölschtastic Beer Sausages that we will be grilling to perfection. The mouthwatering sausages, designed to perfectly complement the Kölsch beers, will provide a delightful culinary experience for attendees.

Additionally, the Inkbus will be making an appearance on-site during the early afternoon, with custom Gigantic flash, so choose wisely.

Kölsch Party is for those 21+ (with ID) and is free to attend, though you will need to purchase a Kölsch Party glass ($4) to taste the Kölsch beers.   

Join Gigantic Brewing and their friends for an unforgettable Kölsch Party on August 19th and experience the best of local Kölsch beers and German culture. For more information and updates, please visit www.giganticbrewing.com.
