This is not your father’s pilsner. It’s more like the pilsner that belonged to his stern father, the one with all the rules but who gave you treats whenever your parents weren’t looking. Brewed with traditional Pilsner malts, imported Czech Saaz and local Oregon Sterling hops, this pilsner’s first sip shows up with clean lager flavors, and then opens up with surprising complexity and softness—developing biscuity flavors, spicy herbal notes and a hint of lemon.
Medium bodied with intense hop flavor and aroma. Complimented by fruity, floral, and citrus American Mosaic Hops. The intention of this beer is to exhibit the fresh and bright character of Mosaic hop.
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 whole-leaf 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!”
Stouts have a rich, deep and dark history— dating back over 400 years in Europe as a strong porter. Well, forget all that. Yes— this stout is classically dark, but close your eyes and take a sip. You’ll likely be surprised by how easy it is on the palate with notes of caramel, chocolate and roasted coffee driven by a wonderfully nuanced blend of dark crystal, black, roasted and chocolate malt.
Belgian-style Abbey Single spiced with elderflowers. Related to the Oblate, monks would often brew and consume this beer as a table beer. With a slight indulgence, the beer has a stronger hop and elderflower presence. This golden-colored beer is crisp, spicy, and quenchable.
t’s not uncommon to find Pacific Crest Trail hikers at Crux enjoying a well-deserved day off from the grueling 2,600-mile hike. The trail runs just outside of Bend along the crest of the Cascades. They come to enjoy great company, a rewarding pint and the expansive view of the mountains they’ve been traversing. PCT is not your typical porter— it’s for explorers. You’ll discover robust flavors driven by a roasted and chocolate malt bill paid off with refreshing day-in and day-out drinkability.
