It’s First Taste Tuesday featuring Tierra del Stout!
Gigantic Brewing Company is excited to announce the newest release in our year long series of stouts, Tierra del Stout. Inspired by Mexican hot chocolate, we crafted this rich and decadent chocolate beer with vanilla, cinnamon and a blend of chiles.
Join us for First Taste Tuesday featuring Tierra del Stout TODAY, April 20th at both The Brewery and Champagne Lounge (5224 SE 26th Ave) and Robot Room at the Rocket Empire Machine (6935 NE Glisan). You can also look for Tierra del Stout on draft and in 16.9oz refillable bottles in the Portland metro area, and along the west coast in CA and WA!
We were inspired by our neighbors Tierra del Sol at our Robot Room location at Rocket Empire Machine. Tierra del Stout is influenced by Mexican hot chocolate, but at its core is based on a mole. We use malt to create the base flavors of pepitas, chocolate, and raisin. Then we add guajillo chili and ancho chili, demerara sugar, and cinnamon to replicate the mole. The final ingredient is Madagascar vanilla beans to boost the sweet notes.
Enjoy rich, luscious notes of vanilla and chocolate in this perfectly decadent stout beer. We added a hint of chile to compliment the sweetness. You can delight in Tierra del Stout as a dessert beer any day of the year!
We had the pleasure to work with the very talented artist Scott Hove on the Tierra del Stout label. He considers himself a primarily self-taught artist, and his work encompasses a broad variety of media. His ongoing series of lush ‘cakeland’ installations and sculptures describe an allegorical paradise, in the process of reintegrating light and dark, from a false dualism to a true whole. He has been featured in Smithsonian Magazine, LA Times, Architecture & Design, Food and WIne, KQED, The Cooking Channel, Hi Fructose, Vogue, The Daily Telegraph and more.

This 4 May 2021 update from Gigantic:
It’s First Taste Tuesday! Featuring Glow Cloud Hazy IPA
Gigantic Brewing Company is excited to announce the re-release of our best selling hazy beer, Glow Cloud IPA. This juicy fan-favorite returns as the same soft, fluffy IPA you love, freshly packaged and dropped just in time for your next sun-soaked patio session!
To brew Glow Cloud Hazy IPA we took inspiration from New England style IPAs and added our own West Coast twists. We have created the juiciest beer with the most citrusy profile, then added a touch more malt flavor for a perfectly balanced and dangerously drinkable 7% IPA.
Glow Cloud is made with loads of Citra, Mosaic, and Crystal hops to create this citrusy, tropical, and dank deliciousness. We hope you will delight in notes of juicy fruits such as mango and tangerine, berry notes of blackberry and raspberry, and finished with all of that punchy hop flavor you desire!
Please join us for First Taste Tuesday TODAY May 4th as we raise our glasses to the lovely Glow Cloud at both Gigantic locations – Brewery and Champagne Lounge (5224 SE 26th Ave) and Robot Room at Rocket Empire Machine (6935 NE Glisan). You can also look for Glow Cloud on draft and in 16.9oz refillable bottles in the Portland metro area, and along the west coast in CA and WA!
Glow Cloud label art features the Yucatan born artist, Siames Escalante. Currently living in Mexico City, her work is inspired by Japanese culture and children’s book imagery. Her pieces always include themes such as innocence, melancholy and fantasy. While not drawing or painting, Siames likes to watch Korean dramas in the company of her two sidekicks (aka her cats) Ramen and Brooklyn.
