![]() With the release of the app, an opening of a new location in Seattle’s Georgetown neighborhood, and another Seattle taproom opening soon after, Great Notion is slowly but surely expanding its reach of quirky beer concoctions to more lips and stomachs. To begin, customers simply create an account through the app and join the Timber Crew: “A band of misfits walkin’ in the woods in search of fresh stumpage.” Once you’ve joined the crew, you’ll have access to Great Notion’s online ordering system, the opportunity to sift through its newest beer drops, merchandise, and characters, as well as stack points and earn rewards.įor Portlanders, Great Notion has been a frequented watering hole for avid beer lovers, but you always had to go to a taproom to get your fix.
