2012 North American Organic Brewers Festival Beer Lineup Announced
|The North American Organic Brewers Festival (NAOBF) returns to Overlook Park in Portland, Oregon to continue celebrating the contributions of organic brewers and a commitment to more sustainable living. This year’s fest marks the 8th annual NAOBF and will once again feature craft beer and artisan ciders from around the world. “This should be a great fest this year – we’ve increased to three trailers, so lines won’t be a problem” says event coordinator Chris Crabb, adding: “Styles run the gamut from Belgian Whites to Cascadian Darks.”
NAOBF will feature a full lineup of live local music, organic food (including ice cream and coffee!), sustainability-oriented vendors and non-profits, a soda garden with complimentary Crater Lake Root Beer for minors and designated drivers, and a children’s area with face painting and activities. The NAOBF is a family friendly event, and minors are welcome with parents.
More details:
Event hours are Noon to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and Noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission into the event is free. The purchase of a $6 reusable, compostable cornstarch glass is required for tasting beer, as are tokens, which sell for $1 apiece. A full glass of beer or cider costs four tokens and a four-ounce taste costs one token; select beers cost double tokens. Patrons receive a $1 discount toward the tasting glass with a validated MAX ticket, a ticket from the onsite Hopworks bike corral – last year, nearly 2,000 attendees parked their bikes at the festival – or three cans of food for the Oregon Food Bank (limit one discount per person). The NAOBF benefits the Leukemia Lymphoma Society and the Oregon Food Bank.

Organic Classification: 95-99%

They used honey instead of candi sugar to add a degree of complexity and then aged the beer for three months in Bourbon barrels acquired from Hair of the Dog (their Adam was stored for over two years in these barrels). They chose to use these “tempered” barrels because it brought the level of Bourbon down to where it balanced nicely with the Honey Triple. See if you can detect all the flavor notes in this one-of-a-kind beer.

1.046 OG, 1.006 FG, 5.30% ABV, 0 IBU
Organic Classification: 95-99%
Reggae Junkie Gruit is a hopless beer that uses a blend of lemongrass, hyssop, bitter orange peel and Sichuan peppercorns instead. The base is a light saison made with all organic malts and flaked spelt. Its botanical mix gives the beer a pleasant and complex nose while also providing an invigorating tonic-like quality, even in small doses.

This American style rye is perfect for the warm summer days. Brewed with organic rye and barley malts, this version of Vertigo’s standard summer seasonal is balanced with Bullion, Mt Hood and Cascade hops, giving it a moderately low hop bitterness allowing the rye flavors to come through. The mash temperature is kept low to allow a crisp, clean finish.
