Located close to Amtrak Union Station,  and housed in a brick building in Portland’sOld Town – this venue is an established bar as opposed to an industrial unit with a taproom.  This is where Hector learned about about Brett yeast and is also the first time – lactose – was recorded in Bier-Traveller.

PINTS has now been rebranded as – Ascendant Beer Company.

Even Bretter than IPA  6.4%

Brett yeast.

Citra, Motueka, Loral and Columbus Hops

Hideous

Tastes of sweaty sox.

Avoid.

Seismic IPA  6.1%

IPA 77 IBU

Hazy gold.

So much better than Brett, but then anything would be.

Seriously cloudy and thick.

Full on hops, which are a secret.

Lactose, excellent.
