Available now, Baerlic Brewing releases Good Vibes Hazy IPA, Nice & Easy Gose, and Milo Oak-fermented Saison.
A workhorse in the heart of Portland, Baerlic Brewing has been the most supportive of those who stay at home instead of seeking their local beers. WIth a reach that stretches throughout Portland and Greater Portland, Baerlic Brewing continues to surprise those in search of an approachable pale, ipa, or stout. Now word comes from the brewery regarding their latest releases, including a hazy ipa, a gose, and an oak-fermented saison.
Starting this past weekend, the brewery is pleased to release Good Vibes, a beer inspired by hazy india pale ales. Recognizing the importance of life returning to normal, co-owner Ben Parsons said this.
Good Vibes Only is a beer built to replace that tropical vacation you probably had to cancel. One of our favorite varieties, we utilize Centennial hops as the foundation of flavor and familiarity, then we layer on a huge dose of Cashmere hops for a tropical fruit, lime and very slightly coconut-y profile. Let this beer warm up for more coconut and demand Good Vibes Only from here on out!

Brewed with Centennial and Cashmere hops, Good Vibes produces notes of grapefruit, tropical fruit, melon, peaches, and subtle notes of coconut and lemon lime. At 6.7% abv (alcohol by volume) the beer is a sipper during lunch, dinner, or breakfast (we won’t judge if you are working from home making your own hours).
But if Gose is more your speed, then you’ll enjoy the return of Nice & Easy. Again, here’s Ben Parsons to explain Nice & Easy.
"When it comes to balancing acidity with salinity with pure and utter refreshment, this beer is a home run! We kettle sour the wort with Lactobacillus bacteria to produce a clean acidity prior to a primary fermentation with our clean house yeast strain. Wheat, Malted and rolled oats make for a fuller mouthfeel and a creamy finish with a slight residual sweetness. Then the Oregon coast sea salt comes in for the win making for an insanely refreshing mouth experience. It's like the Gatorade of beer!"

Unlike its cousin in Germany, Nice & Easy makes use of the natural resources on Oregon’s Pacific Ocean coastline, by including sea salt. Not wishing to share the family recipe, the brewers at Baerlic will only confirm a new label design, sweet oats, a slight tartness, and a saline finish. At 5.2% abv, this might be your next lawnmower, hammock, or anything in the yard beer.
Finally, the brewery is pleased to announce the next iteration of their seasonal Saison - Milo. Once more, with depth and a slight bit of delivery fatigue, here’s Ben Parsons.
"Saison in cans? WTF? We believe Milo is a beer for everyone, so no cork and cage here. Saison's history begins in the French speaking part of Belgium where it was brewed specifically to quench the thirst of seasonal farm workers centuries ago. The dryness and subtle complexity of the style pairs perfectly with hard work, sweat and calloused hands. And we all know beer never tastes better than when you earn it, right?"

An homage to unnatural bacteria that have evolved into Baerlic’s “house saccharomyces saison yeast blend”, Milo starts out as a Saison before being aged in Oak wine barrels. Owing to the wood and the unique yeast strain, Milo emerges as a balanced beer with a combination of both fruit and spice fermentation character, masking a malt body and bitterness. Or as Baerlic puts it, “By fermenting Milo wholly in oak and unbunged (i.e. no atmospheric pressure) our house Saison yeast blend is more expressive, more layered and simply more alive”.

Say bear-lick…like a bear licking the foam off a frosty mug. Etymologically, it’s an old-english adjective meaning “of barley.” As in there’s beer and then there’s baerlic beer! But feel free to use it whenever you want to describe something that you can’t get enough of. As in: “These waffles are baerlic!”
