Last Wednesday we had a Luau and beer release that was the ending celebration for us of Oregon Craft Beer Month. Chef Scott fired up the coals for a pig roast, Brewmaster Chad Kennedy brewed a Hefeweizen for the occasion and we all adorned our grass skirts and lays. The crowd was is great spirits and the temp was just right for some great food and awesome beer!  July was a great month and we wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you who went out and enjoyed any and or all of Oregon Craft beers. It is because of your love of craft beer that keeps us going.  Thank you and we hope you all had a great time!

Cheers!

On Saturday We participated in Whole Foods and Portland Monthly’s Street Party Celebrating Burgers and Beer, to Benefit Partners for A Hunger-Free Oregon.  Attendee’s were able to taste beers from Portland Monthly’s Best Oregon Beers issue and sample sliders from five local chefs  competing for their vote and the title of best burger!  Well folks we won with Chef Scotts Space Stout marinated portabella mushroom beef burger topped with a bacon and tomato jam, truffle oil mixed greens and crispy onions.  Wow is all I can say to describe it!  Nice work Scott!

Cheers!

July 2, 2010 No comments yet

Lets keep Oregon Craft Beer Month rolling with our next event.  On Wednesday July 7th at Laurelwood NW Public House we wil be tapping a firkin of Old Reliable Barley wine and doing a cheese pairing.  Brewmaster Chad Kennedy will be tapping the firkin at 6pm.  See you then!

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.
