UPCOMING PACKAGED RELEASES
Releasing Friday, 9/23
Fresh Catch// Fresh Hop IPA This unimaginably Fresh-Hopped IPA was brewed with newly harvested Strata, picked up from nearby Crosby Hop Farm. Mere hours later they were added to our custom “hop back” tank, capturing the fresh hops’ aroma oils. The result is a bold, resinous trophy catch bursting with hop notes of ripe orange and tangerine.// 7.00% ABV
Takeaways: Brewed with nearly 800 Pounds of fresh Strata hops from Crosby Hop Farm
Tasting Notes: Grapefruit Peel. Forest Floor. Pungent.
Nugg Hugg// IPA A sticky squeeze of hop nugs embraces you with this aromatic, juicy IPA. Nugg Hugg draws on a heady charge of American and Australian hops to deliver aromatic waves of candied peaches, pineapple, mango, and spruce.// 7.00% ABV
Takeaways: It's back! Juicy and Dank, it stradles two worlds.
Tasting Notes: Peachie o's. Candied Pineapple. Juice Bomb.
Dark Matter// Chocolate Porter Dark Matter is a dry porter that combines deep, roasty malt character with notes of cocoa and dark fruit from the addition of chocolate to the conditioning tank—a rich blend of flavors that is balanced by a dry finish and gentle malt acidity.// 5.00% ABV
Takeaways: Conditioned on Chocolate and Vanilla.
Tasting Notes: Cocoa Powder. Vanilla cream. Silky.

PUB UPDATES
The focus point for this week on the FOH side of things is pre-bussing tables and emptying bus station tubs as often as possible.
Remember–pre-bussing tables is one of our steps to great service and should be happening as often as possible with every single table. If you are walking through your section (or another server's section or if you are a host/food runner) you should not leave that section empty handed. Please offer to clear any dirty dishes out of the way. This helps to flip the table faster once it’s vacated and provides a much better dining experience for the customers.
Clearing bus bins (or silverware soaks) as often as possible also helps to keep us stocked on clean dishes (so we aren’t running out in the middle of a rush) and prevents our lovely dishwashers from feeling like they need to scramble. If you are passing by a bus bin, check it and help clear it!
TAP ROOM UPDATES
Table 23 and Table 28 are now ADA accessible tables! There is an SOP upstairs in the breakroom and the bar binder with instructions on how to operate the table and our procedure for seating.
HIGH FIVE SECTION
No new ones this week… but keep up the good work!

DINE OUT
Oregon Agriculture Trust
October 13th
We will be hosting a Dine Out on Thursday the 13th to raise funds for Oregon Agricultural Trust (OAT).
Oregon Agricultural Trust (OAT) was founded by farmers, ranchers, and land preservation stakeholders to increase the pace of ag land preservation in the state. Launched in 2020, we work primarily in geographic areas where there are gaps in working land preservation services. In addition to land preservation, we partner with other organizations to help landowners pass their protected lands on to the next generation.
For more information… head to the link below.
More information to come soon on our efforts with OAT!… Hint…. It’s a cheers to the land!
