Best Bitter was the first beer we brewed at our Portland brewpub. This true English classic has been the anchor of our draft selection ever since. Best Bitter is copper-colored, smooth and a little crisp with malty flavors of toasted grain and some residual sweetness that tastes a little caramel then fades to a slight hop bitterness. Make sure you don't drink this brew too cold; it will mask all of the true Bitter style flavors. We use Yakima Golding hop flowers when we brew this beer.

Black Fly Stout is an opaque black-colored brew with a cream-colored head. First there is a rush of mild roasted malt and subdued black currant fruitiness, then the roasted malt kicks things up a notch by unleashing an even burnt charcoal bitterness. Malt sweetness holds this brew together in the beginning, then the dryness sets in to make the mouth beg for more. Lingering suggestions of espresso and vague chocolate flavor make up the end. We use six different grains to brew this dark masterpiece and we balance the full palate with Oregon Willamette and Yakima Clusters hops. The Alström Brothers at Beer Advocate Magazine gave Gritty's Black Fly Stout a perfect 100 score and had this to say about our Stout: "One of the top stouts brewed in the US, very well balanced and is even more heavenly on nitro-tap. Certainly a stout lover's stout..."

"Original Pub Style captures what made people fell in love with craft brewing in the first place: a fresh, classic pale ale with plenty of hop character," says Brewmaster Ed Stebbins. Original Pub Style is a light copper-colored medium-bodied beer with a nice dry bite at the finish. A subtle combination of Cascade and Willamette hops give this ale a fine floral aroma and a slightly fruity undertone. The taste captures the freshness of a hand-crafted ale that goes right from the conditioning tank to your pint glass.

This IPA has been brewed with Citra, Galaxy, and Mosaic hops, which created a more citrusy and fruity Sense IPA compared to those earlier in the series.

The Harbor Steam is a hybrid beer, created with both ale and lager yeast. During the fermentation process, the ale and lager sink and rise to create a bubbly, effervescent brew.

The Fall harvest means it's time for County Wet Hop! We pick 60 lbs. of whole Cascade hops cones right off the vine & then drive them as fast as legally possible to our Freeport brewery. The hops are then steeped in hot wort from the kettle, before being transferred to the fermenting vessel, resulting in a tasty, unique ale.

Gritty's Monster Mash is a traditional English style strong ale. This means more malt, more hops and more conditioning. The resulting beer is an intense malt bomb with notes of Graham cracker & marmalade, that finishes with a strong bite of alcohol.

Our Christmas Ale is a robust extra special bitter full of holiday cheer. Christmas Ale has a lovely, dark red/amber color and a rich, full-bodied, malty taste with a slightly roasted undertone.
