Houston We Have a Party!

Introducing Gravity Drop IPA, our latest intergalactic hop rocket ready to launch your taste buds into a citrusy and resinous galaxy of flavor!

Brewed with estate-grown Comet hops from Crosby Hop Farms in Oregon, this IPA bursts with sweet citrus, orange, berry, and bubblegum notes, delivering a cosmic hop experience like no other. We took things to the next level adding Amarillo, Mosaic, Crystal, and Simcoe hops to the mix, creating a bright, juicy, and ultra-smooth IPA that’s truly out of this world.

Ready for liftoff? Gravity Drop IPA is available this Friday at all three Gigantic Brewing locations—don’t miss your chance to experience this stellar brew!

Find it at our taprooms or ask for it at your favorite spot.

Big changes are coming to Gigantic Brewing Hawthorne!
This March, El Viejón PDX Taqueria y Mariscos will take over kitchen operations, bringing their acclaimed Nayarit-style Mexican cuisine to the Gigantic Hawthorne. Founded by Chef Eldy Prado, El Viejón has built a devoted following since launching its first food truck at Vice Beer in 2022, expanding to Fortside Brewing in 2024. Known for their handmade tortillas, fresh seafood, and bold flavors, their menu features standouts like ceviche, crispy fried rockfish, Cajun shrimp, and birria de res served with rich consomé. This new partnership promises the perfect fusion of craft beer and authentic Mexican flavors, creating an unforgettable food and drink experience.

El Viejón’s reputation for top-tier Mexican cuisine is well-earned, with accolades from Portland Beer Week’s Snackdown and Burger Brawl competitions in 2024. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome El Viejón to Gigantic Hawthorne. Their food is nothing short of spectacular, and we know this collaboration will take the brewery experience to the next level.
While the Gigantic kitchen will close on February 28th, there’s still time to enjoy favorites like the Gigantic Smashburger, Japanese Fried Chicken Sandwich, and Japanese Fried Tofu Sandwich before they’re gone.

Stay tuned for details on El Viejón’s grand opening celebration, coming soon to @GiganticHawthorne and @ElViejonPDX. Get ready for an exciting new chapter at Gigantic Brewing Hawthorne, where fresh craft beer and incredible Mexican cuisine will come together in the heart of Portland’s Hawthorne neighborhood!
