Gigantic Brewing taps into Cellar to Raise Funds for Pints for Prostates

As part of the Denver Rare Beer Tasting XII, Portland’s Gigantic Brewing is reaching into the cellar to tap the last two kegs of Phuket - It's not that far from Laos at both Gigantic locations this Friday, September 25th. "Phuket” is a barrel-aged saison brewed in 2016 in collaboration with Ron Jefferies of Michigan’s Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales. 100% of proceeds from the sale of this beer will go to Pints for Prostates.

Made with Oregon grown Asian pear, jasmine rice and palm sugar, Phuket was then fermented and aged in French Oak barrels for 14 months. The beer was keg conditioned to perfectly marry all of the flavors together and originally released in November 2017. Stop by both the Gigantic Brewery Taproom (5224 SE 26th Ave) and the Gigantic Robot Room (6935 NE Glisan St) starting Friday to get a glass of this rare cellar beer and raise funds for a good cause










The 12th annual Denver Rare Beer Tasting will take place virtually the weekend of Sept. 25-27 featuring a live online event, remote brewery beer releases and an auction to raise funds for the Pints for Prostates campaign.
