About Gigantic Brewing:

Gigantic Brewing Company is a Portland, Oregon-based brewery known for its focus on high-quality, exceptional beer rather than large-scale production. They are known for their rotating selection of one-off beers and a dedication to consistent quality. Founded in 2012 by Van Havig and Ben Love, Gigantic initially focused on packaging-first but quickly found success with their taproom. They now have multiple taprooms in Portland, including the original location, a Robot Room, and a Hawthorne Pub. 

Founders and Philosophy:
Gigantic Brewing was founded by Van Havig and Ben Love, who prioritize exceptional beer and consistent quality over large production volumes. 

Rotating Selection:
Gigantic is known for its ever-changing selection of beers, with a focus on one-off beers and limited releases, rather than a core lineup of year-round beers. 

Taprooms:
They have three locations in Portland: the original taproom, the Gigantic Robot Room (at Rocket Empire Machine), and the Gigantic Hawthorne Pub. 

All-Ages Locations:
The Robot Room and the Hawthorne Pub are all-ages, while the original taproom does not allow minors. 

Food:
The Gigantic Hawthorne Pub is the only location that serves food. 

Barrel-Aged Beers:
Gigantic also produces barrel-aged beers, including their annual MASSIVE! Barleywine. 

Distribution:
While focused on quality, Gigantic beers can be found in Oregon, Washington, California, and other locations.
