『ビールのつくりかた大事典』で醸造プロセスを学ぼう
Hi there! I’m Riho, a craft beer enthusiast. This time, I’m introducing Grains of Wrath Brewery in Camas, Washington, which I visited in October 2025 around the time of the World Beer Cup 2025 results announcement. While I was drinking at the taproom, one of the brewers came up and said, “That Imperial IPA is good, right? I made it!” — what an incredible experience!
About Grains of Wrath Brewery
Grains of Wrath Brewery is a craft brewery based in Camas, WA. While it’s a bit outside downtown Portland, it’s easily reachable by Uber. Amtrak also stops nearby, making the Amtrak + Uber combination an efficient and recommended way to get there.
While I personally prefer Breakside for smooth, easy-drinking West Coast IPAs, for bold, heavy-hitting West Coast IPAs, this place is the absolute best. And 2025 was a landmark year: a new brewing facility went live, celebrated with a beer fest featuring Ghost Town and Green Cheek beers. The crowning achievement: their Imperial IPA “Punchface Champion” won Gold at WBC 2025!

Atmosphere & Facilities
The taproom is nestled in the lush natural surroundings of Camas, with a spacious layout. It draws a diverse crowd from local craft beer enthusiasts to tourists, creating a lively vibe. The brewers are friendly and love chatting with guests, giving it a welcoming feel. In 2025, a new brewing facility also opened, further expanding their capacity.
Beers I Tried
I had the Imperial IPA “Punchface Champion” — their flagship beer and WBC 2025 Gold Medal winner.
| Beer Name | Punchface Champion |
| Style | Imperial IPA (Double IPA) |
| Characteristics | Bold and heavy-hitting; powerful hop aroma and bitterness supported by a high-ABV body |
| Awards | World Beer Cup 2025 Gold Medal |
Flavor Profile
Imperial IPA, also known as Double IPA, is a style with more hops and higher ABV than regular IPA. Punchface Champion layers fruity aroma over heavy West Coast-style bitterness — it’s the ultimate expression of bold West Coast IPA!
Having the brewer come up and say “Great, right? I made it!” — that’s what craft beer travel is all about! Drinking a WBC Gold Medal beer fresh at the source taproom was absolutely unforgettable.
Meeting the brewer who made a WBC Gold Medal beer in person sounds like a dream! I wish I could have gone along too!

The premier bold West Coast IPA specialist in the Portland area. Their WBC Gold Medal is proof of world-class quality. Access is a bit inconvenient, but well worth the trip.
