Sippin’ down sumptuous swigs of Great Notion’s 4.29 UT-rated Big Papaya Sour Ale, I can’t help but feel pretty swaggy. 

What can I say? It takes skill to snag a stash of fruity goodness from these Portland-based brewmasters. The last time we sent a Great Notion Sour into the craftosphere, you grabbed it so quick, we had to beg the brewers for more! 

Thrillist lauds the juice-focused crew as one of the Hottest Breweries to Drink at Right Now. So, I’m throwin’ on some Biggie Smalls, kickin’ my feet up, and singing “I love it when you call me Big Papa(ya),” while I indulge in a can of this tropical jam!

Beginning with a small-batch Sour Ale, these dexterous brewers age the entire batch on heaps of melony, melt-in-your-mouth papaya. Its naturally silky texture lends a subtle-softness to the mouthfeel, making each sip smoother than soft serve ice cream.

Still, no amount of swag will beckon another batch once it’s all gone! ‘Cause cans of Great Notion are notorious (B.I.G) for flying off the shelf faster than Twista can freestyle — and he can rap 11.2 syllables per second!
