Our search is over! After a couple of long months looking for the right fermenter, we’ve finally found our winner.  We will be welcoming a (new to us) 20bbl fermenter coming to us via a brewery in Montana.  In combination with our new 15bbl brite tank, we will essentially be able to increase our production by 50% and in turn provide more beer for the pub and our distribution accounts.  The timing couldn’t be any better as we are beginning to ramp up for the busy spring and summer months!

This is our first official size upgrade from 7bbl equipment and is a major step forward for us as a brewery.  We will plan to continue this expansion as the year unfolds. Stay tuned….

As part of our ongoing "Brewery Series" the Migration crew took a little road trip down to Eugene to hang with the Ninkasi gang for some shop talk and beer drinking.  After having a few warm up pints in the tasting room Head Brewer and Co-Founder Jamie Floyd took us on a tour of the brewing facility.  Needless to say the sheer scope of the operation is impressive and the fact that they have gone from small local brewery to a regional powerhouse in 5 years is borderline insane. 

Both Jamie, Nikos and the entire Ninkasi gang showed us some true Eugene hospitality, which included an awesome dinner and a trip to an Old School arcade.  While some people have questioned the consistency and quality of the beer of this explosive brewery, one thing is certain; they are making and selling a shit ton of beer.  On top of that they have been successful in developing an incredibly strong brand, created real jobs and have given a ton back to the local community.  This was a great trip for us to see how a company that started off as a small brewery can accomplish large scale things through beer!

EastBurn will be hosting us April 12th starting at 6:30pm, for an evening filled with great food and of course Migration beer!  The dinner will be a five course offering coupled with one of our beers for each plate.  All proceeds from the event will be going to Ride On of Portland.  Tickets are $40/each and space is limited, so sign up today!

Ice beer always reminds me of my college glory days when we bought kegs of the cheapest, strongest beer we could get our hands on.  These guys in Newfoundland have taken it to a whole new level by literally making ice beer with captured chunks of iceberg!
