BEER REVIEWS & MENTIONS

"This past Monday featured firkin was from Hillsboro’s nano-brewery, Vertigo Brewing. One of the founders, Mike Haines, brought over his Oatmeal Stout for all to enjoy.... read the entire article.
"Brewer Profile" at Not So Professional Beer Blog
Sanjay, over at The Not So Professional Beer Blog, dropped by the brewery "on a rainy Saturday afternoon to sample some beer and chat" with us. He was kind enough to write us up on the blog.
We talked about the growth of Vertigo, the promise of the new 7-barrel system, and the prospect of expanding our reach through new distribution channels, bottling, and perhaps even canning.

"Vertigo Brewing" on KSWbeer
KSWbeer contributor Greg gave Vertigo a shout out in a recent feature. Greg's prediction? That Vertigo Brewing is poised to become a regional competitor as our brewing capacity and distribution channels grow. We welcome the vote of confidence, Greg, and appreciate the mention.
Our goals here at Vertigo have not changed since we began — to deliver a high-quality product with an attention to detail and customers. As our seven-barrel system comes together, we look forward to making a bigger step into the market without compromising the care and personal touch that only a nanobrewery can provide.
"Vertigo Brewing" on Daily Pull Blog
Brady Walen, from Daily Pull, was kind enough to drop by the brewhouse after sampling our Friar Gone Wild taster at the Oregon Brewers Festival. The Daily Pull is a blog chronicling the adventures of a Chicago-transplant in the beer-saturated valleys of the Northwest. We were happy to show him the beginnings of our new seven-barrel system — which should be completed sometime in the next month — along with our full array of beers. Brady was kind enough to write an article about his experience.
Thanks for making the trip, Brady.

"Brew Review" at TheInkFlowsLikeWine.com
Ryan Abeling, from TheInkFlowsLikeWine.com, took some time out from his musical activities to lend his thoughts on the recent Holiday Ale Festival. Though he and his friends sampled a fine array of beers, guess which one came out on top? That's right: Vertigo's own Arctic Blast. In his words: "It’s four different malts gave it a sweet and smooth flavor, with a delightful vanilla taste that stayed with you well after a sip."
We're real glad you enjoyed it, Ryan! We had a great festival this year. We'd like to thank this year's organizers and everyone that made the festival a great success. Thanks also to everyone who came out! We look forward to seeing you again real soon. Read the full blog entry.
Update: Ryan was kind enough to give Vertigo Brewing another shout-out on his blog. Check it out!
