Crux Fermentation Project 2019 [BANISHED] Tough Love Release – Bend + Portland
The days are getting cooler and along with the seasonal change brings a few more barrel aged beers to the market. Crux Fermentation Project is set to release of its popular 2019 [BANISHED] Tough Love Imperial Stout on November 8th.
This year’s release of Tough Love will take place in both Bend and Portland. The event in Bend will be a bit more extravagant than the one in Portland at The BeerMongers but either one you choose will be a fun time.
Here are details on each of the Tough Love release celebrations in Bend and Portland…
Crux Fermentation Project 2019 Tough Love Release – Bend
Crux Fermentation Project Production Brewery – 63065 NE 18th St. – Bend, OR
Friday, November 8th (6:00-8:00pm)
Crux Fermentation Project will open its production brewery to host A Tough Love Affair that will feature the debut of this year’s release.
Come spend the night with founder and master brewer, Larry Sidor, in Crux’s barrel room and see where the magic happens. If you’re a Tough Love fan, this is a soirée you won’t want to miss.
Crux will sample through a vertical flight going back 5 years. Plus, you will be the very first to try the 2019 version of Tough Love and have the chance to take a bottle (or three) home.
There will be a special food menu of sweet and savory tapas to complement this deliciously complex barrel-aged imperial stout. And on top of all that, Crux will have a live jazz band playing under twinkling lights. At the end of the night, you’ll have a chance to shop Larry’s extensive library of vintage Tough Love bottles and stock up with discounts on multiple bottle purchases.
- Vertical tasting flight (’15, ’16, ’18, & ’19)
- Nail pull experience, we’ll sample tough love straight from the barrel
- Keepsake Tough Love glass
