Ringing In The New Year

The New Year is upon us and what better way to celebrate then with some great craft beer at some local beer spots. There are quite a few bars around town that will be celebrating in their own way. Surprisingly, there are also a few places (and one blog) that will be celebrating anniversaries as well. It will be hard deciding which party to attend but they all sound like they should be fun.

New School New Years Eve 2010The New School Anniversary Party


During our first year we struggled to find out footing and undoubtedly pissed off a few people along the way, but I am happy to say that the entire beer community has stayed supportive of the project. We intend to give back to the community in more ways than one beginning with the Glen Hay Falconer Foundation. Some of our favorite breweries have provided us with some of our favorite beers of the last year, and we will be tapping a few at NE Portland’s new hotspot, Grain & Gristle.

The list includes:
Lucky Lab: 2009 Son of Old Yeller (Bourbon Barrel-Aged Barleywine)
Hopworks: For Those about to Bock! (Bourbon Barrel Bock)
Block 15: Pappy’s Dark
Deschutes: Bourbon Smoked Cascadian Dark Ale

11pm Beer Trivia from Ben Edmunds of New Brew Odyssey/Oregon Beer Odyssey/Breakside Brewing giving away special prizes from: Hopworks, Upright, Breakside, Coalition Brewing and more.

And a special Midnight toast with:
Upright Brewing’s Old Tom Gin Barrel-Aged Apricot Anniversary Ale from the upcoming limited edition Sole Composition Series.
