Great Notion Brewing Plump

IPA - New England | 7% ABV: Bursting at the seams with pungent aromas of pineapple, orange sorbet and mango, this IPA was plumped up with a double dry hop of Citra and Mosaic hops.

Do you remember when we brewed Plump? No, we aren’t talking about double dry hopped Plump, that IPA comes from a different acorn tree. Look over a few branches and you have Plump IPA. This is the first time Plump is hitting cans and this squirrel powered juice doesn’t need much in the way of an explanation.

Citra and Mosaic hops make up the dry hop of Plump and they bring a nice punch of mandarin, grapefruit, and peach to the beer. Also no need to hoard these hops, we will have stashes of Plump everywhere. In case you’re wondering how Plump compares against the double dry hopped version, well, you wouldn’t compare a Sumatran flying squirrel to an American red, would you?

Great Notion Brewing is a project started by three friends; Andy Miller, James Dugan, and Paul Reiter. All three guys met each other out of coincidence, they live on the same street in North Portland. Andy and James met each other while home brewing in 2010, and began developing recipes and building a friendship.

Together they have 25 years of brewing experience with medals in the National Homebrew Competition for fruit lambic and Double IPA. Paul Reiter has a degree in business and finance with a focus on start-ups and creative enterprise .

In April of 2014, the boys finally got together and shared some home brew. On this night they enjoyed a Stout with hand smoked Vienna malt, a 3 year old Peach Sour, and a 10% double IPA. It’s fair to say, on this night, Great Notion Brewing was born.
