A Collaboration of Collaborations Featuring Wine, Beer, Sangria & Cider
Two neighboring drinking establishments, one known for beer while the other is known for wine have teamed up for A Collaboration of Collaborations. BEER and ENSO are bringing together Portland Sangria, Coalition Brewing, Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider and ENSO Winery for a keg release celebration on Wednesday, August 10 to the 1400 block of SE Stark Street.
Earlier this year the four previously mentioned businesses partnered to create some truly unique beverages. All three offerings that are listed below are very limited and will be available for this event.
A Collaboration of Collaborations will feature the following line-up on tap:
Coalition Brewing with Portland Sangria – Sangria Bretta
Blend of Portland Sangria and Coalition’s aged brettanomyces beer.
6% ABV.
Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider with Coalition Brewing – Hopland in Space
Triple IPA-inspired cider using a hopping and fruiting schedule similar to that of Coalition’s celebrated Space Fruit IPA. The Pacific Northwest apple juice blend was boiled and hopped at Coalition, then fermented and dry-hopped at Reverend Nat’s cidery.
11.8% ABV.
ENSO Winery with Reverend Nat’s Cider – Vinocot
Sparkling Dry Riesling from ENSO Winery blended with Reverend Nat’s nearly world famous Hopricot cider.
9% ABV.
From 6:00 to 8:00pm on Wednesday, August 10, sample these three rare and unique offerings at BEER and ENSO. Sangria Bretta and Vinocot will be on tap at both locations. The very last keg of Hopland in Space will be available at BEER. Prices per beverage vary.
