UPCOMING PACKAGED RELEASES
Releasing Friday, 4/15
Maltster Series, Linc Malt: English Porter // Featuring classic English malts for support, with a backbone of regionally sourced and processed malts to resemble familiar ingredients true to it’s classic style. This English-style porter balances a medium bitterness and finish, highlighting malt character of chocolate, toffee and subtle coffee notes. The result is a very balanced and highly drinkable beer.
// 5.40% ABV / 16oz can
Selection Series, Mosaic: India Pale Ale // This IPA was brewed exclusively with Mosaic hops from Oasis Farms in Prosser, Washington. With an unobtrusive grist profile and soft water base as the canvas, this beer is meant for Mosaic's vibrant notes of berries, orange zest, peaches, tangerine, mango, and a touch of dankness.
// 7.00% ABV / 16oz can
Turbulent Consequence, 14: Dry Hopped Spontaneously Fermented Ale // Turbulent Consequence: 14, our anniversary ale, blends barrels matured for one, two, and three years in our wild cellar, then dry-hopped with a combination of Hallertau Blanc and Nelson Sauvin hops.
// 5.80% ABV / 750 mL bottle
MENU CHANGES
New Dessert Alert! As we welcome spring, we will be switching to a carrot cake bell from the LP version at both locations! We will run this baby starting Monday 4/18 until mid May, which then we will switch back to the lp version until summer!
Carrot Cake Bell-Decadent carrot cake with a fluffy cream cheese filling. This update to a childhood classic is then topped with a classic swirl and toasted & crushed walnut. $8
Based on our feedback from this week, we will be keeping the Portland buns around as a vegan bun option! We will also continue to use these buns for our croutons to ensure we are rolling through the buns quick enough to keep them freshy fresh! I have added a Sub Vegan Bun option to burger mods and the SUB food mods.

TAP ROOM UPDATES
Starting Wednesday, we will be adding 3 more bar stools to the other end of the bar! These will be B6-B8. With this, The water station will be moving over under the Specials board and the end of the bar will no longer be a place for dirty dishes/glasses. There will be some playing around with it until we get it where we want, so be patient and remember to give these extra folks just as much attention if not more than you would give any other customer.
As the weather gets nicer and we get busier and busier, we will have more and more kids running around and being wild. Please review the “How to Chat with Parents that don’t Parent” sheet that is posted by both white boards.
PUB UPDATES
Just a reminder that plant watering for the outside plants will be on the Host/Food Runner shift change and side work list. As a daytime host, it will be your duty to ensure that all the three planters on 3rd street in front of the Pub and the one planter in front of Caves get watered properly (4-5 pitchers of water each).
When resetting tables, please do so in an organized fashion to help everything look clean and cohesive. Inside tables should have the table tent at the far end of the table (or in the middle of its two tables pushed together like table 10 or 25/26) with the salt and pepper shakers in front and the chalk cup to the side of the table tent. Each inside table should also get one beer menu for every two people that can sit at the table. This is our way to indicate to other servers and staff that the table is clean and ready to be sat. We now have more menus, so this should be happening every single time (upstairs servers, feel free to keep a clean stack at the server station to reset your own tables). Outside tables should have the table tent at the far end of the table and the “Please see inside staff for seating” tent at the other end. While it is damp and rainy outside, we don’t need to worry about putting beer menus immediately on these tables, but will do so as the weather gets better.
Hosts - When adding folks to the waitlist (if we are on more than a 15-minute wait) please remember to offer the group to grab a drink at the bar while they are waiting.
Closing Servers - Please wipe down the wall behind the ketchup pump nightly as part of your closing duties. The ketchup dries then becomes super glue on the wall that is very hard to remove.
