 Recent Blog Posts2009-07-03 Fermented Photo: Black Butte XXI The new batch is out. If I needed to say more, this beer wouldn't be as good as it is. Read More >> 2009-06-26 Fermented Photo: Oregon Trail Bourbon Barrel Porter This one comes from Oregon Trail Brewery in Corvallis Oregon. Not much to say, yet--it's still in my fridge. I keep planning to crack it open, but then something happens and the circumstances are quite right for a slow sipper. Weekends usually work well and look at that, it's Friday! Read More >> 2009-06-21 Fermented Photo: My Dad, the Dissident  This scene is from our family's first annual Cellar Series. I've been stocking up on beer for next year's series, so I took a look through last year's photos and found this one. The Fermented Photo post usually comes out on Fridays, but I wanted to wait until today to post this special Father's Day edition.

Other times, a situation presents itself as a wash: Even-Steven, as they say. With more alcohol than blood in my body, I'm not sure how to evaluate either. Read More >> 2009-06-14 Portland's Not-So-Secret Society of Beer Geeks Gathers in Secret  Last night at Upright Brewing, beer geeks gathered for an Imperial and Baltic Porter tasting. There were a few kegs including Block 15's Imperial Smoked Porter and Lucky Lab's Imperial Stout. Thrown in for good measure were Upright Brewing's Four, Seven, Reggae Junkie Gruit, and Anglo-Saison. Sure, not anywhere close to Baltic Porters, but they were hosting the party, so I let it slide. And of course, drank them all.

Recently Released BeerEvelyn's Imperial Sunshine Hopworks Urban Brewery 2009-07-01 Evelyn's Imperial Sunshine is big and beautiful double IPA brewed in celebration of the birth of our first daughter, Evelyn Sunshine Ettinger. Born July 1 to Christian and Brandie Ettinger and weighing in at 8 pounds 4 ounces, she is a chunky monkey worthy of a toast! Eighty four pounds of American hops can't be wrong. IBUs: 90 Plato: 19 ABV: 7.3% 2008 Bourbon Barrel Noggin Flo Hopworks Urban Brewery 2009-06-17 We've stashed our Noggin Floggin Barleywine away since November and barrel-aged it to perfection in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels. This big, rich yet smooth Barleywine has a complex aroma of floral/citrus hops, caramel, vanilla and oak and features a beautiful malty, brown sugar malt flavor. IBUs: 90 Plato: 23.5 ABV: 9.6% Organic Hefeweizen Laurelwood Public House 2009-06-17 This is a great summer beer- crisp, clean, light and refreshing. Made with Organic wheat and barley malts. IBUs: 18 Plato: 11 ABV: 4.8% Hop Bandito IPA Laurelwood Public House 2009-06-12 Hopped to the hilt and a touch of rye caramel malt add a new twist to the standard amber ale. IBUs: 70 Plato: 14.7 ABV: 7.1% Six Upright Brewing 2009-06-01 Six is our rye beer, a smooth yet rustic rendition with an exotic fruit and spice character and full copper-colored body. The caramel and milk chocolate notes play with a semi-dry finish. Plato: 15 ABV: 6.7% Seven Upright Brewing 2009-06-01 Seven is our golden beer, a complex brew blending grassy hop aromas and pure malt flavors while highlighting our house yeast strain's subtle citric quality, finishing dry. Plato: 17.5 ABV: 8% Lucky 7 Laurelwood Public House 2009-05-27 Brewed to commemorate our 500th batch at 51st. A blend of 7 hops and a healthy dose of dry hops late in fermentation make this one hoppy beer. Lucky 7 has a strong citrus nose followed by smooth bitterness. If you're a fan of Northwest-style IPA's then this is the beer for you. With 77 IBUs this beer was born to be "Lucky". IBUs: 77 Plato: 16 ABV: 6.7% Organic Rise Up Red Hopworks Urban Brewery 2009-05-27 This full bodied NW Red is hopped to the rafters with locally grown Cascade and Centennial hops, then sanded smooth like mahogany using American and German caramel malts and just a touch of Carafa. We are stoked to bring this former full-timer back for a summer reunion, on tap through September. IBUs: 60 Plato: 13.5 ABV: 5.8% Gayle Laurelwood Public House 2009-05-27 Alright, hop nerds. Here's our latest single hop beer- with a little something for all you that like both kinds of music- Country and Western. Gayle was brewed exclusively with Crystal hops. These low bitterness hops are similar to Mt. Hood and Liberty varieties. Pungent, Oregon-grown hops, Crystals are used primarily for their aroma qualities. IBUs: 57 Plato: 15.7 ABV: 6.2% Four Upright Brewing 2009-05-15 Four is our table beer, combining elements of American and European wheat beers. It emphasizes harmony and balance while setting the stage for an approachable beer with a dry finish. Plato: 10 ABV: 4.5% Five Upright Brewing 2009-05-15 Five is our hoppy beer, starting with a strongly aromatic and spicy nose. On the tongue deep herbaceous flavors underscore a firm bitterness that lasts through a dry finish. Plato: 12.5 ABV: 5.5% Bottled Blonde Laurelwood Public House 2009-05-07 Our Blonde is a beer with a uniquely smooth hop character that makes for a super drinkable beer. Light in color and big on taste this beer is smooth and mellow-just like you. IBUs: 30 Plato: 12.5 ABV: 5.5% |

Coincidence?" - Stephen Wright "He was a wise man who invented beer." -Plato "Oh no! What have I done? I smashed open my little boy's piggy bank, and for what?
