Crux Fermentation Project

Crux Fermentation Project - Banished: Freakcake
Style: Sour
ABV: 10.50% IBU: 35.0

We’ve taught an old brown new tricks. The brunette hue is derived from roasted Belgian aromatic malts, and fruity esters are augmented by lemon and orange zest. For a further twist, Brettanomyces induced secondary fermentation flecked with sour cherries, raisins, cranberries, and figs for a mildly acidic ale. Want something even freakier? Lock it up in a cool dark place for a few years and see what happens.

Crux Fermentation Project - Better Off Red: Banished 2017
Style: Flanders Red Ale
ABV: 7.00% IBU: 18.0

Flanders may be called the Burgundies of Belgium, but we age our take on this complex, slightly tart style in Oregon Pinot noir barrels for more than 18 months. A fresh batch will present spicier notes, while older versions pick up more oak and yield cherry flavors. So we blended old and new, figuring we're better off presenting this exotic melange simultaneously.

	Crux Fermentation Project - Bubble Wrap Style: New England IPA ABV: 6.20% IBU: 30.0 Not playing it safe and leaving all gimmicks behind, we set out to make the next great Hazy IPA with a healthy amount of spelt, wheat, and acidulated malt before dumping a ton of Galaxy and Mosaic hops into the hop back. The result is a juicy hop flavor that is as fun to drink as it is to pop those bubbles.

Crux Fermentation Project - Cast Out
Style: India Pale Ale
ABV: 7.60% IBU: 60.0

This beer features the galaxy hop from Australia, a country famously populated by England's cast out convicts. Cast Out IPA employs these hops aggressively from hop back to dry hopping stages. Yet the result is a balanced and bronzy ale, with medium hop bitterness complemented by moderate maltiness, showcasing aromas and flavors reminiscent of passion fruit.

Crux Fermentation Project - Coco(a) Stout
Style: Stout
ABV: 8.00% IBU: 60.0

This triple-chocolate stout is the adult’s answer to hot cocoa on a cold night. As smooth and full of character as a fireside velvet painting, this roasted revelation was brewed with chocolate malt, infused with cocoa powder, and then "dry-hopped" with cocoa nibs, vanilla beans, and toasted coconut for a decadently layered sipping experience that beats any dessert.

Crux Fermentation Project - Crystal Zwickle
Style: Kellerbier
ABV: 6.00% IBU: 30.0

Rather than conjuring old-world hops, this unexpected Belgian-esque Fresh Hop ale epitomizes our local hop harvest. Notes of citrus and sandalwood, pine and potpourri are bestowed by the Belgian malt and aggresive hopping with morning picked Crystal hops from Goschie Farms in Silverton, Oregon. Light Pilsner and Dark Crystal malts land this intriguing, clearly unfiltered pale squarely in the present moment.

Crux Fermentation Project - Gimme Mo
Style: American IPA
ABV: 6.20% IBU: 50.0

A slightly sweet, lower ABV, IPA providing welcome relief from the onslaught of bitter hop-bombs out there. Its complex aromatic layers—suggest mango, melon, pine and berries—are driven by Mosaic and Citra hops which are then balanced by an acidulated and pilsner malt bill. Finally, its silky smooth mouthfeel will leave you asking for “mo.”

Crux Fermentation Project - Half Hitch
Style: Imperial IPA
ABV: 10.00% IBU: 80.0

Hops climb up twine that’s just loosely tied to the trellis with a half hitch knot— and this Imperial IPA is just loosely tied to tradition. The Mosaic hop imparts surprisingly floral aromas instead of the more expected grapefruit-y notes. On the palate, complex layers of flavors might remind you of guava, mango, stone fruit and lemon, unraveling your idea of what an Imperial IPA should be.

Crux Fermentation Project - Impasse
Style: Saison
ABV: 6.60% IBU: 25.0

When we set out to brew a saison, we were at an impasse: an open fermentation process would give us more interesting, complex flavors, but a closed fermentation process would give us more control and, let’s be honest, more beer. We decided to honor the history of the Belgian saison, and give that farmhouse yeast a little room to breathe. Our open fermentation process coaxes out peppery, herbal and slightly tart attributes, and releases slightly smokey, earthy esters, while a kiss of acidulated malt and wheat lends the perfect complement.

Crux Fermentation Project - Outcast
Style: India Pale Ale
ABV: 8.00% IBU: 60.0

Many breweries procure their hops right here in the Northwest. But this beer features the Galaxy hop from Australia, a country famously populated by England’s outcast convicts. Outcast IPA employs these hops aggressively from hop back to dry hopping stages. Yet the result is a balanced and bronzy ale, with medium hop bitterness complemented by moderate maltiness, showcasing aromas and flavors reminiscent of passion fruit.

Crux Fermentation Project - Peach Farmhouse
Style: Farmhouse Ale
ABV: 6.50% IBU: 25.0

Although farmhouse ales originated in the French region of Belgium, we’ve adopted them as our own, finding them to offer refreshing relief during any season. Inspired by the early summer bounty, we infused local peaches to make one of our favorite styles even tastier. Oregon peaches, both sweet & tart, combine with the traditional spicy saison notes and earthy esters to round out this palate pleaser.

Crux Fermentation Project - Play Wave

With Mosaic, Galaxy, and Centennial hops added at the tail end, this easy-drinking NW Pale Ale is a tidal wave of citrusy goodness, without the bitter wipeout. Keep chasing your wave, and we’ll keep chasing ours.

Crux Fermentation Project - Redbarn Farm
Style: Farmhouse Ale
ABV: 8.00% IBU: 25.0

This red farmhouse ale was inspired by a hike down the Scout Camp Trail in the Deschutes River Canyon. We used commercial ingredients of rye malt and rosehips which we saw during our hike. Primary fermentation used a Belgian saison yeast with secondary fermentation using Brettanomyces. The wild and scenic area we hiked through was the inspiration for the use of the wild yeast.

Crux Fermentation Project - Tough Love
Style: Russian Imperial Stout
ABV: 11.50% IBU: 70.0

Tough Love is bold but nuanced, an homage of sorts to the traditional Russian Imperial Stouts and the ruling style of Catherine the Great. We construct it with dark roasted malts, malted rye, and oak-smoked wheat, and then banish it in Kentucky bourbon barrels. The aging process smooths out the edges on an otherwise bold statement, and bitterness succumbs to tender strokes of vanilla beans, hints of dried cherries, and new layers revealing themselves with each sip.
