Portland's most-demanding brewery:

"Hair of the Dog Brewing Co. is dedicated to providing the beer lover with new and unusual beer styles. Several of our beers are bottle-conditioned or refermented in the bottle resulting in beers which impreove with age.

Beers that are bottle-conditioned have a built-in shelf life. They can be stored at room temperature (50--74 degrees F) and will continue to mature in the bottle for several years like a fine wine.

We make only a small amount of beer and each bottle has a unique bottling number. This number changes every 5000 bottles, or 200 cases.

Ruth is a light and refreshing American Ale, made with pale malt and crystal hops. She was inspired by my Mother's Mother, Granny Ruth because of her love and support. Don't be Ruthless. Have one on Granny.

Adam is a recreation of a historic beerstyle. Originally made in Dortmunder, Germany, it was the first beer I produced when I opened Hair of the Dog. Rich in flavor, Adam is best served as a dessert beer. It is great with chocolate or cigars, or just a warm fire and good company. It has 10% alcohol by volume and 50 IBUs. e

Rose is named for Portland, Oregon, the Rose City. She is inspired by the Belgian style known as Tripple. Rose is low in hops, pale in color and deceivingly light in body for its alcohol strength. Through the use of Belgian candi sugar and honey malts this beer achieves a fruity or floral character. It has 8% alcohol by volume and 17 IBUs.

Fred was created to honor beer writer and historian Fred Eckhardt. Fred is a big inspiration for me and many other brewers. Fred's work in all-grain brewing and beer styles helped me become a better brewer. Fred the beer is a deep golden color. It is made with aromatic and rye malts and includes 10 different hop varieties in an effort to incorporate the whole world into this beer. It has 10% alcohol by volume and 65 IBUs. We hope that Fred will inspire you to share your knowledge with others as Fred has with us.

Doggie Claws Doggie Claws is a Barley Wine made in the West Coast style. Big malt and hops make this copper colored ale one of our most popular products. Produced in September and October and released in November, this Beer will improve for years to come. Alcohol: 11.5% by volume. IBU's 70"
