Bailey’s Taproom 12th Anniversary Party + Barrel-Aged Beer Fest

Twelve years ago during the summer of 2007, Geoff Phillips opened Bailey’s Taproom in downtown Portland when craft breweries in the United States numbered around 1,400. The beer landscape has changed quite a bit during the past 12 years. That same year in 2007, BridgePort Brewing was the 31st top brewery in the nation and Pete’s Brewing was ranked 39th. And we know what has taken place at these two breweries and the brewery count exceeds 7,000.

On Saturday, July 27th, Bailey’s Taproom will host its 12th Anniversary Party + Barrel-Aged Beer Fest. Once again Bailey’s Taproom will continue its tradition of a collection of the employee’s favorite barrel aged offerings collected over the past year! And to keep it fresh, the staff at Bailey’s Taproom traveled to Bellingham, Washington to brew an anniversary beer with Aslan Brewing and to Austin, Texas to brew at Pinthouse Pizza.

Here are the decriptions of the two Bailey’s Taproom 2019 Anniversary beers.

Aslan Brewing – PM To The AM Funk
In January we visited Aslan brewing and tasted through their wide range of barrel and foudre aged beers to come up with the perfect blend that represented some our favorite elements in beer. PM To The AM Funk is a rustic saison conditioned in neutral oak barrels and then finally dry hopped with Nelson Sauvin.

Pinthouse Pizza – Swankeny Street Purps
Last month we had the opportunity to fly down to Austin, Texas to work with our friend Tom Fischer at Pinthouse Pizza. We came up with a beer loosely based around their GABF and World Beer Cup award winning beer, Green Battles. Swankey Street Purps is a west coast IPA brewed with a heavy dose of Chinook and Mosaic.

In addition to the two collaboration projects Bailey’s Taproom will be feature the following barrel aged beers on draft both at Bailey’s Taproom and The Upper Lip.
