If y’all don’t know Grand Fir Brewing down in Portland, you gotta get with the program! They have SLAYED this year – winning 3 medals at the World Beer Cup and 3 medals at the GABF, culminating in a Brewery of the Year Award for their size category. Steve and their Head Brewer Whitney first met in 2010, and worked together for a few years at Elysian before she moved to Oregon for a job at Pelican, and then 10 Barrel, prior to opening up Grand Fir with her Top Chef husband Doug. This beer pulls inspiration from our Seattle brewing roots (ala Scarlet Fire & Prometheus IPA) with a modernized West Coast twist. We started with a base of 2 Row, added a splash of Caramunich & Carahell for a warmer color, and tossed in a bag of Flaked Rye for a little spicy kiss. And then it’s hopped with a blend of Chinook, Amarillo, Cascade, Citra (T90, Hyperboost, Cryo) & Centennial Cryo. The end result is….FIRE!
