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.

Beers I Tried
Their flagship Gigantic IPA is simply stunning. It has classic bitterness layered with PNW aroma for a long-lasting finish. I’m convinced this is a must-drink beer when visiting Portland.
| Beer Name | Style | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Gigantic IPA | American IPA (BJCP) | Classic bitterness, PNW aroma, long finish |
| Modern IPA (Seasonal) | Neo-American IPA (BJCP) | Aromatic, modern hop character with a lighter body |
Flavor Profile (Gigantic IPA)
Bitterness Strong
Hop Aroma 高
Finish Length Long
Creaminess 中

The PNW (Pacific Northwest) is famous for producing hops like Simcoe, Centennial, and Columbus. Gigantic’s local hops deliver fresh pine resin and citrus aromas. Achieving a creamy texture before the Hazy IPA boom is proof of their exceptional brewing skill!

The quality is so good that I think “If the Hazy IPA boom hadn’t happened, Gigantic might have dominated the scene.” The $7 pint pricing is wonderful too. An absolute must-visit for IPA lovers in Portland.

$7 for a pint is such a great deal! I’d love to try Gigantic IPA at their open taproom! I wonder what a creamy IPA tastes like!
