It might be hard for Beervana to follow up a weekend like Zwickelmania, but it does its best in the form of beer summits, competitions, and festivals as good as any city possibly could. To kick off the weekend, Roscoe’s on SE Stark and 81st Avenue held their monthly beer summit. This month’s theme was Stouts. They really lived up to this one as you could find 12 stouts in house that would satisfy the biggest critic or the individual who was just in the mood due to our Nor’easter type weather (below freezing all day, etc.) Some very interesting and unique stouts were on hand, including ones that some of you might be familiar with like Caldera’s Old Growth Imperial or Nectar Ales (Firestone Walker) Xantus, along with the harder to find types like Ninkasi’s Vanilla Oatis and Boneyard’s Sug Knight. With so many choices and styles within a style it was hard to zone in on a favorite but the one that stood out seemed to be Oakshire’s Heart Shaped Box. With the subtle cherry notes and milk chocolate flavor, it what was one of those stouts that seemed to ‘sooth the soul’ and was right up there in uniqueness with Upright’s Coffee Stout and Deschutes’ Murder by Mashtun. This particular beer summit might well be dubbed Summit of the Year but hard to say since Read More…

Fort George Brewery’s annual Stout Month will coincide with the opening of its new production brewery, canning line, and tasting room. This means in addition to the public house, there will be a second spot on the Fort George block to sample some of the Northwest’s most coveted stouts throughout February.
“It’s an opportunity to drink a beer in our tasting room, watch the brewery running, tour our new space, see the canning line, and drink stouts that you don’t often get to try side-by-side,” Chris Nemlowill of the Fort George said.
There will be no shortage of beer, as the new 30-barrel brewery, per batch, will produce enough pints to go around the Read More…

While in New England, I had the exciting opportunity to sample some unique brews worth mentioning. On the East Coast, since hops are not in quite the abundance that they are here in the Pacific Northwest, brewers often rely on showcasing other nuances and complexities possible in great craft beer and often pay homage to the Belgian and English practices, yet with their own unique spin on things. Thanks a Read More…

About a year or so ago, a longtime Mainer friend of mine informed me of a little brewer in Down East Maine that I ought not to miss out on. Spending the past few weeks in the doldrums of Dover-Foxcroft in Central Maine, I’d grown accustomed to the bite of a cold wind, an impending degree of snowfall, and the blinkered terrain of limited craft beer offerings. A a few days of unremitting cold, wind, and flurries, the weather finally halted and I set off with my father to the seaport village of Belfast to encounter the offerings of Marshall Wharf Brewery.
Established in 2007, Marshall Wharf has more than filled the void that now that Belfast Bay Brewing Company left (ShipyardBrewing now produces the brand out of town). Spearheaded by craft beer visionary David Carlson, Marshall Wharf has turned to a team of brewers headed by former Belfast Bay brewer Dan McGovern to put forth some of Maine’s finest spectrum of delectable brews. Here, a stone’s throw from the harbor by Belfast’s charming colonial downtown, Marshall Wharf’s handy 7-barrel brewhouse roils forth some flavorsome cutting edge beer tipples.
At Marshall Wharf, we met with the amicable Carlson, production brewer Jared Mahrunic, and a staff of clued-up and inspired folks offer a range of modern and traditional beer styles that appease both the furrow browed fisherman, and the progenies like those who subscribe to Brewpublic’s venturesome outlook. About an hour-and-a-half drive where I’d been staying in the shiretown of Piscataquis County, Belfast’s lone brewery announced the New Year’s release of a special barrel aged Cant Dog Pale Ale constituted of 25% barrel aged beer and 75% fresh ale, exercising a portion of two year old esterous brew laid down in twelve year old Elijah Craig bourbon casks. In addition to Cant Dog, Marshall Wharf will be releasing two other bourbon-aged ales.
Carlson, obliged my aspiration to sample this spectacle slated to be unveiled to the public on New Year’s Day 2011 by offering up a taster of this divine potion. Rampant with compounded notes of caramel, vanilla, wood, and bourbon, the beer, was by some standards young, yet immediately gratifying. “Barrel aging has become a hot trend” says Carlson. “ We had the opportunity to get some decent bourbon barrels. And though blending is new to us, we’re quite pleased with the result. And it is easy to taste why. Carlson says that Marshall Wharf has served beer enthusiasts from New Hampshire and Massachusetts who are becoming more and more aware of the beers at his quaint 400 square foot brewery. Well known Maine craft brew outposts such as Novare Res and the Great Lost Bear in Portland, Maine have opened tap space to Marshall Wharf’s patent biddings.
Unlike many traditional Maine craft breweries, Marshall Wharf steers clear of exhausting English yeast varietals like Ringwood and Nottingham, and have opted for a mellifluous and fruity Chico ale strain while tinkering with divergent Belgian sorts. Next door at Carlson’s Three Tides Restaurant and Bar, a Marshall Wharf’s inventiveness runs the gamut of savor with about 25 mainstay, migratory, and chance-taking pickings.
A sampler tray at Three Tides exposed the likes of Read More…
