It’s A Firkin Cheese Pairing

-MOTHER LODE GOLDEN ALE-

Our lightest ale is crisp, dry, and refreshing.

-Cypress Grove Truffle Tremor-

Goats Milk- The classic flavor of truffle meets the velvety perfection of ripened goat milk
cheese. Earthy, elegant, and sophisticated, it’s sure to make even the
most distinguished taste buds shake!

-HOOLIGAN BROWN ALE-

Hooligan Ale features imported Marris Otter malt which makes this beer super smooth and easy drinking. Slightly sweet, with just a hint of hops, this beer was brewed in the Southern English tradition with an American twist.

-Manchego Semi Curado-

Sheeps Milk- At 3 months old, this is the
youngest Manchego made by the Villadiego estate. The color of the
paste is light – the taste is buttery and delicate with hints of waxy spiciness.

-ORGANIC FREE RANGE RED-

Free Range Red is a rich copper-colored ale with loads of fresh hop flavor. Medium in body the caramel sweetness blends wonderfully with the smooth hop flavor creating a balanced, super drinkable beer. This beer is brewed with 100% Organically-grown malts

-Tillamook Vintage Cheddar –

Cows Milk-  Vintage White Medium
Cheddar Cheese is aged over 100 days and features a distinct velvety
fuller cheddar flavor that pairs especially well with fruit and wine.

-ORGANIC TREE HUGGER PORTER-

-Tree Hugger Porter features a rich chocolate malt flavor that finishes dry and roasty. Delicate hop flavor rounds out this rich full-bodied ale. This beer is brewed with 100% Organically-grown malt.

-Beechers Flagship-

Flagship is a semi-hard cow’s milk cheese

with a uniquely robust, nutty flavor. It is carefully aged for one year.

-PRO ROW PALE ALE-

A collaboration by the brewers from Laurelwood, Double Mountain and Walking Man. Chad, Matt and Jacob got together to brew this deliciously quaffable beer in honor of Produce Row’s reopening- one of Portland’s oldest good beer bars. This refreshing pale ale brings together some of the brewers favorite ingredients in great summer beer.

-Red Hawk Triple Cream-

Cows Milk- Cowgirl Creamery captures the essence
of West Marin with its Red Hawk, a triple-cream, washed-rind,
fully-flavored cheese made from organic cow milk from the Straus
Family Dairy. Aged four weeks and washed with a brine solution that
tints the rind a sunset red-orange.

-OLD RELIABLE BARLEY WINE (FIRKIN)-

This strong, deeply complex beer is truly for the connoisseur. Olde Reliable gets its rich color and flavor from loads of Pacific Northwest malt and an especially long boil. A dose of brown sugar in the boil add to the unique character of this ale.

-Rogue Oregon Blue-

Aged at least 90 days in our
Roquefort modeled caves, its semi-soft texture is smooth and its
flavor subtle.  Richly hued blue-green veins randomly  highlight the wheel.Pairs
nicely with figs, red silk pears, fresh spinach, Viognier wine,
rustic peasant bread and coffee.
