Throw a dart at a map of Portland, Oregon, and you’ll likely hit a brewery that makes incredible IPAs. 

So, when the popular local paper Willamette Week decided to rank the city’s hoppy offerings, they had plenty to choose from — they tasted over 115 beers before selecting their favorites! 

At the very tippy top of that mountain of hops, one brewery stood supreme: Great Notion.

That’s no surprise. They were the first brewery in Portland to even make a Hazy IPA back in 2016, cementing their place in the city’s long and storied hop-history. Since then, fans have embraced the haze craze, clamoring for every new release!

With a sky-high 4.25 Untappd rating and a 10% ABV, Shepard’s Throne TIPA is a local favorite. And rightfully so.

Each sip of this Vic Secret, Strata, Citra, and Galaxy hopped brew swells with flavors of fresh squeezed OJ, dank papaya, and tropical mango. As the flavors subside, a faint echo of pithy bitterness lingers on the palate, quietly beckoning the next sip. 

Portland craft fans know a thing or two about IPAs, and they think this brewery crafts hop bombs that rival the best in the country. Will you agree? There’s only one way to find out! 

Rated 4.25 on Untappd!
