UPCOMING PACKAGED RELEASES
Releasing Friday, 4/29
Trilateral Response: Dry-Hopped Wit Ale // Partnering with de Garde and Foreland breweries, we’re taking a classic wit that includes coriander and Seville orange peel, then amping it up with Nectaron and Wakatu hops from the southern hemisphere. The result is a dry, refreshing ale with intense citrus and tropical aroma, all balanced out with fruity yeast esters.
// 5.10% ABV / 16oz can
Summer Knights: Kolsch // This German-style Kölsch beer blends a pilsner malt base with both the lightly fruity quality of an ale and the clean finish of a lager.
// 5.00% ABV / 16oz can
Board Shorts Next Set: India Pale Ale // Brewed in memory of our dear friend and original bar manager, Seth. Next Set represents his bright and easy-going spirit, like rocking a pair of colorful board shorts and drinking a summer IPA that captures the taste of the season with notes of tropical and citrus fruits. A portion of beer sales will be donated in his honor to the OHSU Brain Institute to aid in the discovery of treatments and eventual cure for brain cancer.
// 6.50% ABV / 16oz can
COLLAB RELEASES
Magic Lanterns: India Pale Ale // When we received our order of Phantasm, we pondered the best way to use this intriguing ingredient. Immediately, our friends at Block15 came to mind. Wizards in the hop game, they were excited to join us in the challenge of highlighting this delicate, yet complex ingredient. Mutual passion, hefty amounts of thiol loaded Phantasm, very strategically placed hop additions and the use of a special yeast brought to life this delicious and intriguing IPA concept. Loaded full of rich citrus and vinous character with a touch of tropical wonder, this IPA is a unique expression of elements you wont want to miss.
// 7.00% ABV / 16oz can
GENERAL
We will be running a Family Weekend menu at the pub since we are going to be so rocking busy! Similarly to the last game day menu we will remove pastas, hummus, shawarma salad and the fried chicken sandwich. Along with what is left on the menu, we will be adding Pacific clam dip with house potato chips, Cajun red beans and rice & a pineapple-jalapeno kobe beef hot dog with bacon and queso fresco!
At the taproom we will replace the fried chicken sandwich with the Festival Sausage Sandwich!

PUB UPDATES
New Airlie Rosé of Pinot Noir is officially good to go! This will replace the Left Coast Rosé and will run through the rest of spring and likely a bit into summer before we switch to another rosé. This one also spends a little extra time on the grape skins which give it the deeper color and richer body (not a light or bright pink like a lot of other rosés). See below for some tasting notes:
Airlie Winery 2021 Rosé of Pinot Noir 12.5%
Located in Monmouth, OR
Deliciously dry, this lively rosé has notes of cranberry, pie cherry and raspberry. Extended skin contact provided a rich color and medium body.
We will be running a Blood Orange Spritz this weekend with some Blood Orange Puree, lemon, Amrita sparkling wine and a touch of Aperol for bitterness and balance. This will start Friday and run through Sunday (or until we sell out).
