"Vertigo Adds 7-Barrel Brew System" at BrewPublic
Angelo was kind enough to stop by Hillsboro to witness the installation of our new 7-barrel brew system, designed by Ager Tank Equipment of Portland. Hit up the read link for pictures of the new system being installed.
We can't wait to start producing your Vertigo favorites in larger quantities. The demand far exceeded the capacity of our old 1-barrel system. Yet, by keeping the 1-barrel system running, we'll be able to continue to produce creative one-off brews — allowing us to stay nimble and focused on the dream of producing high-quality beers for every season. We have no plans to rest on our laurels anytime soon.
