Show 173: Gigantic's Ben Love and Van Havig

Beervana Podcast

Today we join you from the industrial tract in Southeast Portland that Ben Love and Van Havig selected ten years ago when they founded Gigantic Brewing. At the time, they expected it would blend in with its surroundings, and they devoted little attention to the tiny taproom space they called the Champagne Lounge. To their surprise, it has become a success, encouraging them to open a second taproom during Covid and, last month, a third. In today’s pod, we’re going to ask them about the new place, their tenth anniversary, and how things have changed since 2012.
