"Gigantic Brewing Company is another legend in Portland beer, and the company continues to pump out new and creative brews while keeping folks coming back for flagships. Gigantic is Portland beer done right, in every sense. The brewery makes the same classic West Coast IPAs that put Portland on the map, while not being so inexorable that brewers Van Havig and Ben Love are unwilling to adapt to changing trends or experiment. The Reed-area taproom features eclectic artwork and seating in the bar area, while the Rocket Empire Machine taproom is a small haven for beer among an eclectic set of culinary stalls. The newest location, on Southeast Hawthorne, is the first in Gigantic’s brewery to serve food, with things like patty melts and totchos." - Ron Scott
