Garden Party
Great Notion Brewing

If you haven’t heard yet, we recently opened a pop up location on Division Street in SE Portland. Our buds from the Portland Nursery were super rad and gifted us a bunch of flowers and plants to brighten up the space. We decided to brew a lager with these green thumbs, and even use some hops growing at the pop up. Garden Party is a New Zealand style Pilsner. We used 100% Pilsner malt for a beautiful straw colored beer with a bready malt flavor. Hallertau Mittelfruh hops were used in the boil to add bitterness. Things get a little weirder though in Garden Party since we decided to dry hop this lager with two New Zealand hops, Motueka and Nectaron. Garden Party is light bodied and effervescent with a bright aroma of lemons, limes, and passion fruit.
