In August, #Block15Brewing released a special collaboration #beer with Portland’s #BelmontStation to celebrate Belmont’s 28th anniversary: Block Station 97.15 Imperial IPA. The beer is part of Block 15’s Synergy series, a line of collaboration beers between the brewery and friends. Here's my review!

Oregon’s #PublicCoastBrewing released a new limited-edition pastry stout this month, inspired by the fluffernutter sandwich (that’s peanut butter and marshmallow) — Fluff N’ Good Stout. It’s brewed with peanut butter and freeze-dried marshmallows and is 9% alcohol by volume.

Bend’s newest brewing venture opens up to the public this Thursday, June 5! #UPPLiquids is the company started by Tonya Cornett and the former 10 Barrel innovation brewing team; on Sunday, UPP hosted a soft opening for friends and family, offering up a first look at the refreshed space and taste of the beers, along with tours of the facility. We attended and got pictures, of course!

Had this year’s 3-Way IPA. It’s okay, but it’s not as good as the last one I loved, which was the one with Brujos #oregonBeer

It's #CincoDeMayo today, and I'm giving a nod to the day with the enjoyment of these two Mexican-style lagers: Chela from #XichaBrewing, brewed with corn in the lighter style; and Muy Chido from #CascadeLakesBrewing, darker with Vienna lager influences. I hope everyone is enjoying similar libations and staying safe today! Cheers! 🍻

Portland’s #HorseBrassPub is hosting a new brewfest this weekend, inspired by the Horse Brass’ late founder Don Younger (the “Old Tavern Rat”) and #barleywine of the same name brewed in his honor: the Old Tavern Rat Barleywine Invitational Brewfest.
This weekend is #Zwickelmania here in Oregon, the annual #brewery "open house" where many breweries open their doors for tours, tastings, and more.
Years ago I created this "Zwickel Bingo" card generator (for fun only, no prizes!) that people could print out and fill out during their brewery touring. I decided to dust it off for this year:

To finish out #ValentinesDay weekend it's Thorns & Udders from #SunriverBrewing, a raspberry-infused variant of the brewery's award-winning Cocoa Cow Milk Chocolate Stout. Cheers!
For #ValentinesDay weekend it's a tradition to open up a special #beer from one of my favorite Oregon breweries, #Block15Brewing — Love Potion #9, a stout with chocolate and raspberries. Cheers!
#NonAlcoholicBeer drinkers take note: Oregon has an exclusively #NonAlcoholic brewing company in Portland’s #RoamingNoblesBrewing, founded by Marla and Liam Hoban in 2021, the state’s first such company. Roaming Nobles has three core brands, IPA, Pils, and Tropical Pils, all less than 0.5% alcohol by volume, and at the end of December introduced its new West Coast Pils.

It’s official: 2024 was the “hardest year for #Oregon #CraftBrewers,” based on a press release from the Oregon Beverage Alliance. I don’t know if this applies for the past 40 or so years, but according to the lede in the release, more breweries, brewpubs, and taprooms closed than opened last year, for the first time since 2000.
