Gigantic Brewing (Portland, OR) | Creamy IPA Pioneer

Hi there! I’m Riho, a craft beer enthusiast. I’m introducing Gigantic Brewing, which I visited during my September 2025 Portland beer trip. Said to be a pioneer of creamy IPAs, the impact of my first taste is still unforgettable.

What is Gigantic Brewing?

Gigantic Brewing is a Portland-based craft brewery founded in 2012. Their lineup ranges from classic, hard-hitting West Coast IPAs to modern, aromatic PNW-style IPAs. They established their presence with a uniquely creamy style well before the Hazy IPA boom.
