We’re kicking off our anniversary weekend on Friday, February 6th at our Tasting Room with the release of multiple beers—some old, some new—all brewed to mark our milestone in a big way!
Whether you're a long-time supporter or new to the scene, there is sure to be something to excite everyone.
Essential Pale Ale: -----------------------
We’re bringing back the first beer that we ever brewed, Essential Pale Ale! This thirst-quenching American Pale Ale has a hop-forward profile that’s aromatic rather than bitter. Bright citrus notes lead into flavors of peach, grapefruit, and apricot, finished with a dry hop addition using our patented Hopzooka. For the first time ever, Essential Pale Ale will be available in 12oz cans to go, only at the Port City Tasting Room.

Colossal Anniversary Ale: ----------------------------
Brewed each year for our anniversary, COLOSSAL is a rich, full-bodied ale that hews close to the English tradition of old ales. Pouring a deep mahogany color and accentuated by ruby highlights, the beer features flavors of dried fruit and toffee which are complemented by a subtle hop presence. This beer is intentionally crafted to be cellared for months, or even years.

Brewers’ Barrel-Aged Reserve: Gold Rum Barrel-Aged Colossal Anniversary Ale: --------------------------------
Aged for 50 days in Gold Rum barrels from our friends at Cotton and Reed distillery in Washington D.C., our newest Barrel-Aged Reserve release is sure to surprise fans of our classic Colossal Anniversary Ale. Fans will find the familiar notes of toffee, dried dark fruit, and subtle hop balance paired perfectly with the sweet vanilla, coconut, honey, and molasses flavors of the rum. To finish off the tasting experience, floral and herbal notes add a fresh and vibrant character to a very unique beer.
----- 12.1% ABV
