The ultimate challenge returns as reigning Champion Alex Ganum of Upright Brewing and his team defend the Golden Mussel. Four Oregon breweries (Breakside, Lompoc, pFriem, and Upright), four secret sauces created by each brewery for dipping in one pound of mussels served with fries, and paired with their Belgian-inspired beer. But there’s only one “Mussels from Brussels”. Will reigning champion Alex Ganum of Upright Brewing and his team prevail? You be the judge.
