Okay, now back to business. Beers on the patio, accompanied by plenty of sunshine today.
FRIDAY BEER RELEASE
🇩🇪🥨🍻
We’re tapping into the spirit of Oktoberfest with Gritty’s delightful Octoberfest (6.5% ABV). A harmonious marriage of Lager malt, Caramalt, Chocolate, and Roasted Barley, this brew achieves a perfect balance of flavors. It`s been meticulously crafted through bottom fermentation with lager yeast and cold conditioning for over a month, resulting in a malt-forward taste with hints of graham cracker, toffee, and brown sugar.
Available at all three locations Friday, September 15th! Prost!

Comment if you can relate ⤵️ If you’ve got beer on the brain then come to Gritty’s and try out one of our many beers on tap!
The Pub Style Pale Ale (5% ABV) that Chelsea is pouring here is an Original Pub Style Pale Ale fresh and with plenty of hop character. Nice dry bite at the finish as well as a fine floral aroma and slightly fruity undertone courtesy of the Cascade and Willamette hops.
A hand-crafted ale that goes right from the conditioning tank to your pint glass!

So good it’s frightening! Halloween Ale (6.0% ABV) is back and now pouring in Portland and Freeport, Auburn later this week. 🎃💀
The bewitching Halloween Ale celebrates its 33rd year! This ESB (Extra Special Bitter) features a robust malt backbone and two varieties of imported Goldings hops. One sip reveals a perfectly balanced beer that warms the palate with notes of cinnamon, molasses, and fresh-baked bread.
