Bailey’s Taproom 9th Anniversary Celebration
Kicking off tonight, Bailey’s Taproom will begin to celebrate its 9th Anniversary. In all Bailey’s will be hosting three events at its mainstay, Bailey’s Taproom along with its more recent properties at The Upper Lip and Brewed Oregon. Tonight look for Bailey’s 9th Anniversary Beer release from Ex Novo Brewing. On Friday, Bailey’s teams up with Double Mountain Brewery for an OBF Trifecta. Then on Saturday is the big shindig when Bailey’s Taproom presents its 9th Anniversary Barrel-Aged Beer Fest and Block Party.
Here are more details on each of the events.
Ex Novo – Piñata Imperial Mexican Lager Release
Thursday, July 28 – All Day
Join Bailey’s Taproom when they team up with Ex Novo Brewing to release their 9th Anniversary beer, Piñata Imperial Mexican Lager. This beer will be available both in bottles and on draft at the bar, at BrewedOregon and The Upper Lip as part of a limited release.
Piñata is an Imperial Mexican Lager with lime, guava and subtle habanero spice. “Piñata’s Revenge” will return in 2017 after spending a year in tequila barrels!
The event runs all day and will be available in bottles during Bailey’s Anniversary Fest and thereafter while still available.
