Barrel Aging Hits Vertigo!

Today we moved beer into a whiskey barrel provided to us by Big Bottom Whiskey (check them out at http://bigbottomwhiskey.com/). We are planning on letting this age well into next year. This will be a new beer for us. A dark beer to be sure, but we will give more details when the beer is ready. You can check it out at the brewery next time you are in.

Cheers!

Long overdue post

Hi Vertigo fans, it has been a long time since I have posted. A lot has been going on at the brewery. We have taken delivery of a 7 bbl brew system. It is a used system and we have a long way to go before it will be up and running, but we are getting closer.

Yesterday was a busy day. We brewed 6.5 bbls of beer. Michael started the brew day at 4:15 am with a 2 barrel batch of Razz Wheat then continued with a double batch of Friar Mike's IPA. I finished the second batch of that and finished the day off with a double batch of Arctic Blast '10 Vanilla Porter. Finally finished up about 1:30 this morning. It was a long day, but we have a lot of beer in the works.

Resting today watching some NFL games and look forward to enjoying a Friar Mike's IPA this afternoon.

Cheers!

Two very overdue thanks!

We have been into this wild ride for over a year and a half now and we need to thank two very important people.

First, my wife Barb for the outstanding graphic design work she does for us day in and day out. We have some of the best artwork out there.

Secondly, Dan Sanderman, our webmaster. Dan keeps us current even when I forget to let him know what's going on.

If you need any of these services, let me know and I will get you in touch with them. You could not do better.

Thank you Barb and Dan!

Cheers!

Arctic Blast Vanilla Porter

By popular demand, we brewed a batch of our Arctic Blast Vanilla Porter yesterday that will be available only at the brewery for growler fills. We expect it to be ready in about 3 weeks. I will post again when it is done.

Cheers!

Starting today, Vertigo Brewing is allowed to fill growlers at the brewery. We have growlers with the Vertigo logo on them for sale for $5.00 and we will be filling them or your 1/2 gallon growlers for $10.00. We still do not have regular hours at the brewery so please call ahead if you are interested. And we will not have every one of our beer styles for sale at the same time, so please also call for available selections. Our number is 503-645-6644.

Cheers!

Arctic Blast '09 Gone for the Season

Arctic Blast '09 is officially gone for the season. We sold our last keg yesterday. Look for Arctic Blast '10 this coming winter.

Cheers!

We got word today that we are in the Oregon Brewfest again this year. We will be taking our Razz Wheat and cannot wait.

Cheers!
