Eugene Beer Week: PublicHouse hosts a Great Notion Total Tap Takeover
The 12th annual Eugene Beer Week occurs June 6th-12th this year, in what organizers are calling the 2nd annual DIY beer week. This year is a loose collection of events held at locations across the Eugene Ale Trail. One of the largest of the few such events announced is at one of the areas best beer bars and food halls PublicHouse in downtown Springfield. For the entirety of this years Eugene Beer Week there will be a total tap takeover from Portland’s premiere makers of NE-style hazy/juicy beers, pastry inspired, and fruit packed sours - Great Notion Brewing.
PublicHouse’s gorgeous church set taproom in Springfield, Oregon
PublicHouse is the third beer-focused business founded by Colby Phillips and Patric Campbell, owners of beergarden in Eugene. The two local businessmen re-imagined a historic church in the heart of Springfield, adding a Whiskey Lab, an outdoor stage and seating area, and a main hall with 25+ taps.
This year for Eugene Beer Week, PublicHouse is NOT messing around. They spoke with their friends at Portland’s Great Notion Brewing and invited them to take over their ENTIRE draft list for all 7 days. Yup- over 20 different Great Notion brews all right here in Downtown Springfield.
Great Notion Brewing specializes in Hazy IPAs and culinary-inspired fruited sours and stouts. They have won numerous Gold and Silver medals over the years, including accolades at World Beer Cup, GABF, Best of Craft Beer Awards, and Oregon Beer Awards, as well as the 2018 #1 IPA in America from Paste Magazine.
PublicHouse beer buyer, Dustin Heilig, said to keep a tight lip on some of the brews coming this way— but here are just some of them you can expect:
Stylus Fruited Sour- Stylus is a fruited raspberry sour beer that is conditioned on toasted coconut. This tart and refreshing sour has sherbet flavors of pineapple and orange.
Birra Sporgenza Italian Pilsner- Brewed with Tettnanger and Saphir hops, this light crusher is perfect for summer.
Ripe Hazy IPA- Ripe is one of their most popular flagship beers. This Hazy IPA is dry hopped with the best Citra hops they can find to create intense citrus and tropical aromas in an easy drinking package.
Double Blueberry Shake- This is a fruited sour saturated with blueberry puree and finished with vanilla.
Juice Jr.- This classic Hazy IPA is all about the citrus and tropical Mosaic hop. Lush and easy drinking with notes of citrus and pineapple.
Pink Lemonade- Meyer Lemon and Strawberry converge in this spritzy tart ale.
Tiger’s Blood- Tiger's Blood takes its inspiration from the popular Hawaiian shave ice treat. This stronger sour features coconut, strawberry, and watermelon flavors.
Single Stack Stout- Intense coffee and maple syrup flavors
Freshly Sliced- Dessert in a can with Strawberry, Kiwi, Mango, and Pineapple— inspired by a classic fruit tart.
Magnetic West- Their new year-round West Coast IPA— it packs a punch thanks to Centennial, Simcoe, and Idaho 7 hops with a classic pine and citrus profile.
Ledge Bier- This German Pilsner is crisp and light with just enough bitterness from Saaz and Haller-tau Mittelfrüh hops.
