The 2019 schedule of beers from Gigantic Brewing has been released, laying out the roadmap for the coming year. Gigantic has four year-round beers these days, and large number of seasonals and one-offs, that looks to rival the Breakside lineup. Unfortunately the chart graphic isn’t terribly high-resolution, but gives a … Continue reading

This is notable as there were only four year-round beers prior, I believe (though there are a number of seasonals). I’m always … Continue reading
