Children of the street - Andy Miller, James Dugan, and Paul Reiter met entirely by accident as they roamed the back alleys and by-ways of Portland. Andy and James planted the first seeds of Great Notion when they started talking about home brewing in 2010 - swapping ideas and recipes, eventually working together on their home-brews. Paul had been working on start-up financing and creative enterprise when he ran into the other two once again - they all lived on the same street. In 2014 the nascent idea became a real business, and the craft brewery of Great Notion was finally putting out brews. Now they’ve made hundreds of one-offs and a few fan favourites. Their taproom serves up chilly pints and a tasty menu of classic local fusion foods. Great beer and delicious food - what a Great Notion. The Double Stack is an Imperial Breakfast Stout with a sweet malt informed by coffee and maple flavours, back by a serious kick. Serves well at 10°C and can cellar for up to a year.
