For the first year since they’ve started brewing their beloved holiday seasonal, Double Mountain Brewery of Hood River, Oregon has been in limited supply of the hoppy Fa La La La La. Based on Brewmaster Matt Swihart’s Full Sail treat known as Wreck The Halls, the brew did not make its way into the Portland market. However, fans of the full bodied brew can get a taste not only of this year’s release, but also of the three years prior at a special vertical tasting slated for Christmas Eve at the Hood River brewpub. Here’s the details from the brewery; don’t miss out: Read More…

After scraping away the remnants of our tastebuds from Saraveza’s 2nd Annual IIPA Fest over the past weekend, it’s time for us to shift gears and delve into some sours.

Yes, Belmont Station‘s hour of sour is upon us.  Puckerfest, their celebration of wild yeast ales is featuring a daily enfilade of over a dozen of these temptingly toothsome treats (how’s that for alliteration). Read More…

Oregon Craft Beer Month this July is going to be one hell of a ride with more killer events than you can shake a brew paddle at, so understandably, it will be impossible to attend them all. One event that the real heads won’t want to miss out on is Double Mountain‘s KRIEK KAMP.

Chillaxin’ in the Gorge with Double Mountain’s specialty beer and their pizza…holy crap their pizza! Vertical tastings and sensory training with Brewmaster Matt Swihart; hanging out at and getting a tour of Logsdon Farmhouse Brewery; helping in the beer making process at Double Mountain; picking cherries at Matt’s orchard in Odell for the next batch… Sounds pretty sweet, eh?!

In honor of Double Mountain’s most special and highly coveted brews,  co-founder Charlie Devereux says “We hereby invite the public to join a limited cadre of Double Mountain fanatics at our first-ever “KRIEK KAMP,” an immersive celebration of all things Kriek-y and good. Kampers will get to hang out with our brew staff; see the full picture of how our Devil’s and Rainier Krieks make the voyage from the farm to the glass; and even join in the process themselves.”

Really, can you think of a better craft beer event this summer?

The Double Mountaineers are still in the process of dialing in the complete details for this event, but here’s a peek at the itinerary:

Wed 7/13 pm — Pizza Party w/ Kriek Seminar and Vertical Tasting, led by Brewmaster Matt

Thurs 7/14 am  — In-depth Brew Tour and Sensory Training at the Brewery; Lunch

Thurs 7/14 pm — Brewery Tour at Logsdon’s Farmhouse Ales in Odell

It’s hard to think of a better place to take an Oregon “staycation” than the majestic Columbia Gorge, more specifically, Hood River. One of the nation’s greatest towns, Hood River is situated at the crossroads of the Gorge and the mighty Cascade Mountain Range, nestled beneath imposing Mount Hood and with scenic views of Mount Adams.

Over the weekend we ventured out to the Hood, beatified by a remission of spring’s rain, and made the just over an hour drive to our destination. In 2008, appointed by Brewers Association president Charlie Papazian as “Beertown USA” for having the most breweries per capita (the good doctor notes 3 breweries in 6,736, or 1 brewery per 2,345), Hood River is more than just the obvious recreationalist’s dream destination, it is a beer lover’s haven. And it’s not just the Read More…
