Whoop Whoop!
Brewpublic was on hand to witness the inaugural pour of Hopworks’ Whoop Whoop Wit by legendary former Portland Mayor Bud Clark. Clark, known for his signature “Whoop Whoop!” call and love for craft beer is the owner of the Goose Hollow Inn Pub and is also an honorary Bridgeport Brewing Knucklehead. Here’s a video of the ceremonial first pour:
Despite the event being announced last minute and taking place on a Tuesday afternoon, the turnout was quite good. People barside participated in the “Whoop Whoop!” call made famous by Mayor Clark. In addition to the wit, another new beer was also on tap, the Hopworks “300” is what brewer Ben Love describes as “a new style of beer (Hopworks) made up.” Referred to as a Summer Strong Ale, the 7% ABV,45 IBU brew possessed a bready, mealy, crisp body with a well-masked alco-malt spine.
