GN will have draft pours and can pours on-site with packaged beer to-go. Picture a fun outdoorsy vibe with a food truck (TBA), picnic tables, pop-up tent, etc. The goal is to just get something up and running and iterate from there. Then later in the Summer, GN hopes to transition to 7 days a week like the company’s other locations. Days open will start with 4 days a week: Thursdays through Sundays (hours will vary). location starting with an outdoor beer garden on June 24th. The brewery leased 2,500 sq ft and will roll out the new Division St. Located on both a bike and city bus route, the taproom and the adjacent green space will be easily accessible from downtown for visitors and local residents alike. Outdoor seating will open up to Division Street with easy access to Tri-Met. Right across the street from Portland’s revered Scottie’s Pizza, Great Notion’s new taproom will accompany other upscale hotspots like Nuestra Cucina and be just steps from New Seasons Market.

You get a bit of a lemon tartness on the front end that quickly mellows out on the backend, for a crisp finish.GN’s new 2105 SE Division St.location will occupy the former Ether Shoes Building and parking lot sandwiched between Crisp Salads and Spielman Bagels in a vibrant, historic neighborhood full of dining and nightlife. The blueberry taste is not as overpowering as I expected from the nose. The mouthfeel is light and fluffy, with almost a cream-like character. As I swirl the hazy golden sour around my glass, I’m able to get the dough, fresh blueberries, even the crumbs on the top of the muffin with faint notes of tartness.
#Great notion brewing crack
Once again, sounding like a broken record, the nose on these beers right when you crack the crowler is just insane, but this beer in particular left me doing a double take, as Great Notion manages to perfectly capture the aroma of a blueberry muffin.

Great Notion was inspired by the blueberry muffins their moms used to make when they created this variant of their Berliner Weisse. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one thinking a blueberry muffin beer would be a stout, or even a wheat beer. While the taste isn’t as in-your-face as the nose, the maple and coffee are still quite present.įirst off, I was a bit surprised myself when I found out this beer was a sour. The backend leaves an enjoyable maple flavor that lingers on the palate. The taste provides an upfront maple sweetness you expect to be cloying, however suddenly the coffee kicks in to cut that sweetness. The mouthfeel is a little thin, and drinks well below the 10% ABV, which could be dangerous if you’re not sharing your crowler with a friend. The beer pours jet black with a thick head that dissipates fairly quick, leaving a thin creamy amber film around the edge of the glass. Right from the crack of the crowler, an aroma of chocolate maple pancakes takes over the room. The guys from Great Notion first tried Good Morning a few years back at Beer Advocate’s Extreme Beer Festival and were completely blown away. The inspiration behind this beer actually came from one of my favorites, Tree House’s Good Morning. One of the beers Great Notion has become known for is their imperial stout with coffee and maple, Double Stack.
