Vertigo's Fine Handcrafted Ales

Light crisp summer ale based on our Cyclone Cream Ale. Brewed with Pale and Crystal malts, balanced with late additions of Saaz and Mt. Hood hops, and finished with a hint of apricot.

In a head-to-head competition with Pyramid Breweries' Audacious Apricot Ale, our Apricot Cream Ale was well-received — launching it onto Henry's summer menu.

A robust vanilla porter based on our own Black Pearl. Our Arctic Blast is a Briess pale malt, balanced with Roast, Dark, Crystal and Munich malts — allowing for the perfect mix of malted barley in this robust porter with Madagascar vanilla bean.

Lightly hopped to allow a slight roast, dominant chocolate and vanilla bean character to come through. This beer borders on the low end of the IBU scale and the high side for Original Gravity.

Hand-crafted IPA recipe with help from the Friar himself. Brewed with generous amounts of Columbus, Amarillo, and Cascade hops. An English-style IPA with a Northwest accent. If you see Friar Mike, be sure to say "Cheers!"

A well-crafted American Amber brewed with copious amounts of Northwest Cascade hops.

This American Rye is a great beer for the warm summer days. Brewed with Rye and Barley malts and just enough hops to balance it all. The smooth, dry finish will leave you wanting another one.

This unfiltered American Wheat Ale eschews syrup for over twelve pounds of real raspberries per barrel — yielding a beer with a delightful blend of flavors. This is an extremely refreshing beer.

Our Razz Wheat was recently featured at the 2009 Oregon Brewer's Festival.

An award-winning Northern German Alt bier recipe. Carefully fermented and lagered at colder temperatures for a smooth, clean taste.

We have been asked by Henry's Tavern in downtown Portland to develop a house beer. Together we worked on a red ale recipe.

Our delicious Spring Harvest Hefe subtracts the raspberries from our best-selling Razz Wheat and spices things up with Hefe. If you love our delicious fruit ale, but would like to try it year-round without the fruit — this is your beer.
