There’s so many ex-Michigan Brewers in Portland that they’ve come together to make an all Michigan ingredient brew.
Perhaps unbeknownst to many, Portland’s beer scene is filled with former Michiganders, including Kora. For Montavilla’s celebration, he brought a handful of them together to do something he has been thinking about and planning for almost 10 years.
“I learned there are a lot of Michigan-born brewers in Portland, so I’m finally bringing them all together for a Michigan brewer collab using Michigan ingredients,” says Kora.
The resulting beer is an IPA that found Kora working with Assembly Brewing’s George Johnson, Assembly, Ben Edmunds of Breakside, Dave Vohden of Oregon City Brewing, Shaun Kalis of Ruse, and Upright’s Alex Ganum, all of whom are originally from Michigan.
