Grit & Grain hosts Great Notion at Peaks & Pints

The Grit & Grain Podcast welcomes Great Notion Brewing co-founder Paul Reiter for an early afternoon recording session Wednesday, June 12 in Peaks & Pints’ Events Room with many Great Notion beers flowing from Peaks’ Western red cedar tap log.

In 2016, Paul Reiter, James Dugan, and Andy Miller opened Great Notion and stunned Portland, Oregon with their New England-style IPAs and boundary-pushing culinary-style beers. The awards followed: World Beer Cup, GABF, Best of Craft Beer Awards, and Oregon Beer Awards, as well as the 2018 #1 IPA in America from Paste Magazine, Ripe IPA. Great Notion was the first Portland brewery to become known for hazies — controversial style that traditionalists snubbed. Now the traditionalists are all wearing Great Notion T-shirts. In addition to their hazies, the brewery’s barrel program offers award-winning American sour ales aged for 9-24 months in oak barrels with portion of their sour ales blended with Oregon fruit and freshly emptied bourbon barrels age their imperial stouts on ingredients such as roasted coffee, vanilla beans, chocolate, and maple syrup.

Join the Grit & Grain crew at 2 p.m. Wednesday, June 12 for Episode 98 with CEO Reiter telling the Great Notion’s story while sipping his hazy IPAs and barrel-aged stouts.
