“The inspiration is about being subtle to
allow nature to grab hold of the wort and
inspire us,” said brewmaster Larry Sidor via
email. “Because it is an Oregon beer, the malt
was sourced from La Grande and Klamath
Falls with some unmalted wheat from Mal-
pass Farms in the Willamette Valley. Thus, it
was inspired to be in harmony with Oregon
and Whychus Creek specifically.”
Crux’s Experimental IPA is the fourth
beer to utilize the brewery’s mobile cool-
ship. The previous three beers were part
of its Gypsy Coolship series, rustic, farm-
house-inspired wild ales fermented with the
native flora present in different locations
around Central Oregon. The brewery pre-
viously partnered with the Deschutes Land
Trust on one of these (Gypsy Coolship No.
2), so it was a natural pairing once again for
“The Oregon I Am.”
“We partnered with Crux on the coolship
at the Metolius Preserve,” said Sarah Mowry,
Outreach Director for the Land Trust.
“We partnered with COLT to include our
publicly accessible properties on the map.
For the brewing, the Crux crew wanted to
try out Whychus Creek and Camp Polk
Meadow so that’s where we ended (up).”
According to Sidor, the brew at Whychus
Creek was a successful one, with fermen-
tation starting before getting the beer and
coolship back to the brewery. Even so, he
chose to fast-track the process with Norwe-
gian kveik yeast.

“Usually with coolship projects, we sched-
ule a year for the beer to come into its own,”
he said. “With The Oregon I Am beer, that
option was not available to us. Thus, we
chose to finish it with the kveik yeast after it
had been inoculated.”
The beer wasn’t yet available for tasting
at the time of this writing, but Sidor offered
hints, noting samples taste “Wonderful, a bit
of sour, earthy, quite a few esters from the
kveik yeast, layered with some juniper notes.
Overall, a light refreshing beer that begs for
more protection of Whychus Creek.”
On June 25, COLT is hosting a free, state-
wide virtual happy hour via Zoom featuring
the beers from all eight partner breweries:

Be sure to pick up Crux’s The Oregon I
Am Experimental IPA and taste a bit of the
Whychus Creek terroir. You can also visit
the Camp Polk Meadow Preserve and other

map, which is available for free with regis-
tration at The Oregon I Am website.
