We just received news from Josh Grgas at The Commons Brewery of Portland, OR that they have bottled up two of their most popular draught brews. Bottle conditioned Urban Farmhouse and Flemish Kiss (American Pale Ale with Brettanomyces) will be available in the brewery’s tasting room (1810 SE 10th Ave, Portland, OR) beginning this evening, Friday April 27, 2012. “We’re not shy about saying how happy we are with these beers in the bottle,” says Grgas, adding, “The extra layer of fermentation and added carbonation really brighten both beers. Our tasting room hours are Friday 5-9PM and Saturday 4-9PM.”

On this night the tasting room will also debut Walnut, the latest in their Beetje series. The beer is a Belgian-style porter brewed with dark wheat and Northwest hop varieties.

Instagram is a free photo sharing program launched in October 2010 that allows users to take a photo, apply a digital filter to it, and then share it on a variety of social networking services, including Instagram’s own.[*]

The Beer Wench is none other than Brewpublic’s favorite comRAD blogger, Ashley V Routson. Here we have a pictorial recount of the past weekend that was certainly not to be forgotten.

Ashley made it to Portland after a bit in the airport laid over in San Francisco. A short stay in Beervana couldn’t have passed by more quickly. Fun, craft beer, and relaxing. Lots of beers at By The Bottle in Vancouver, WA, no doubt. Check out these awesome Instagram pics! Read More…

Brewpublican and Bailey’s Taproom beer expert Michael O’Connor delivers the money shot for beer geeks with a sultry, mouthwatering film project that he created while at the NW Film Center during the fall of 2011. This titillating portrayal of the malted arts is best described by O’Connor himself:

Is anybody looking? Quick, make sure the boss is down the hallway, your wife is off shopping, your parents are snug in their bed. Read More…
