The Hawthorne Hophouse 1-year anniversary party is this Saturday 10/22/11.

Info from the Hophouse:

“The party will feature an outside tented beer garden in our giant parking lot, lots of schwag and raffles. $10 gets you admission, all-you-can eat buffet of our stellar happy hour food and a pint. After that, all our sponsors’ beer (mostly everything) is $3/pint. Party is mainly being sponsored by Oakshire Brewing of Eugene, brewers of the infamous Overcast Espresso Stout. We’ll have at least four of their kegs on taps, including what will be the newly-released Ill-Tempered Gnome, one of our favorite beers last winter. And of course 20 other fresh local beers on tap.”

“First 100 entrants will win awesome door prizes, such as gift cards to our new location (15th Avenue), T-shirts from your favorite breweries, glassware from your favorite breweries, etc. And we’ll be holding raffles every 30 minutes throughout the day for gift certificates and lots of other good stuff.”

Live music from 6 – 8pm from Portland band Bitterroot.
