Homebrew chef Sean Paxton collaborated with brewers from Ninkasi, Speakeasy, and Schmaltz (Hebrew) to create a nut brown ale brewed with dulce de leche, popped corn and peanuts. Really! Ninkasi Ringleader himself Jamie Floyd will tap this keg and Ninkasi Helles Belles and reps from Schmaltz and Speakeasy are tapping Funky Jewbelation barrel-aged blend and Scarface Imperial Stout respectively.

We’re delighted to offer 3 draft beers crafted by Zach Beckwith for the brand new PINTS in downtown Portland. Come chat with former New Old Lompoc Brewer Zach Beckwith about his new operation and taste several of his approachable and delicious beers: Tavern Ale (lovers of Englsih malty bitters take note), Ripsaw Red, and Seismic IPA on draft. PINTS specializes in very well made approachable beers rather than extreme beers. We’re ready for more of those!

Tapping Lagunitas Waldo’s Ale, which Lagunitas claims is the dankest, hoppiest beer they have ever brewed. That almost seems impossible, but these Waldos have never let us down!

The Southeast Brewpub you all know well is now bottling three of their fine brews: Two Dogs IPA, King Kitty Red, and Rooster Cream Ale. The friendly Coalition Crew will be here pouring tastes and telling you their stories. Ask them why the hops in the cream ale are still hip but not hip-hop anymore. Bump’s Bitter will be on tap in the Biercafe.

Obviously many people come and go in a business like ours and we’ve had our share of great ones. But only 3 people have been with us the entire time we’ve been in our “new” location on Stark Street (now five years old). Mitzi Komisar is known to most everyone who frequents Belmont Station for her warmth, hospitality, and beer guidance and we will all miss her.
Direct from Mitzi: “It has been 5 ½ years that I’ve been at Belmont Station. I have always appreciated the opportunity to share in your beer buying, our many conversations, and all of your smiles. I liked that you often brought your children and your dogs to visit. You are all so special and it has been my pleasure to share with you. Friday, March 23rd was my last day at the Station. During that last week I was able to see so many of you for which I am grateful. I am embracing my Acupuncture practice with a full heart and 23 years of experience. If ever I can be of help with your questions or lend any guidance or service please contact me at mkacupuncture@gmail.com. Feel free to write just to say hi if you’d like. That which I will miss the most of Belmont Station is all of you. I humbly thank you…”
Come raise a glass to Mitzi!

Yep, it’s been 15 years since the founding of Belmont Station as the first specialty beer store in the Northwest and 5 years since we opened the Biercafe. Thanks to you we’re still here so we’ll be breaking out some vintage bottles to sell (Abyss, Top Sail, Roots Epic, Oregon Trail Bourbon Porter, we’re still digging in our cellar) and will be joined by two brewers with whom we have a long and special history: Ted Sobel of Brewers Union Local 180 and Shawn Kelso of 10 Barrel (and former brewmaster for Barley Brown’s). Ted is bringing us two firkins of his unbeatable genuine cask-conditioned ales: Wotcha A La Citra, Bitter, ABV 4.0% and a special cask-conditioned Belmont Station 15th Anniversary Ale “15-15-15″, named for the fact it will be served on our 15th, which is March 15th and it has 15 grains in the malt bill. Tyler Brown is graciously bringing a small keg of the last batch of Tankslapper double IPA that he brewed with Shawn at Barley Brown’s and a surprise beer. Brewers Union firkins tapping at 3PM, Tankslapper at 6PM.
