FEATURED BREWERIES and BREWS:
 A big IPA with a huge bite.
Aspall - Suffolk, UK Premier Cru - Dry Cider - 7.0% ABV An elegant and well bred dry cider, with a soft fragrant nose and enough earthy apple notes to keep its feet on the ground.
Beer Valley - Ontario, Oregon Leafer Madness - Imperial Stout - 11% ABV Leafer Madness Imperial Pale Ale was created during the great hop shortage of 2008, but there is no shortage of hops in this beer.
Highway to Ale - Barley Wine - 10.5% ABV A celebration of the pioneering spirit and long tradition of brewing in the great state of Oregon. Aged in the bottle for months before it is released, Highway To Ale is rich in malt character with a unique blend of citrusy, floral hops in the finish.
Bend Brewing - Bend, Oregon Sexi Mexi - Imperial Stout - 10.6% ABV Chocolate & Chili Imperial Stout – what more could one ask for?!?
Boneyard Brewing - Bend, Oregon Notorious - Triple IPA - 12% ABV A beer that is ‘now’ as notorious as its inception. Copper in color and well balanced, this big hoppy triple IPA has a complex malty flavor with layer a-plenty!
Armored Fist - Imperial Cascadian - 10% ABV Well balance, extremely hoppy black ale. It is very reminescent of a winter ale. This is a collaboration beer brewed with Three Floyd’s our of Chicago.
Double Mountain - Hood River, Oregon Hop Lava - IPA - 7% ABV This big, glowing, powerful IPA is packed with assertive Northwest hops that are floral, citrusy and resinous. A healthy dose of Munich malt helps to provide backbone and balance against the hoppy attack. The result? Explosive!
Goliathon - Dark Belgian Ale - 11% ABV Rochefort and Kasteel yeast, dark fruit notes, full-bodied.
Heater Allen - McMinnville, Oregon Pils - Bohemian Pilsner - 5.0% ABV This is our take of the renowned Bohemian-style pale lager that you might find in Bavaria or the Czech Republic. Ours is a little more golden, rounder, and a little more malt driven than many other versions. The beer possesses strong hop character that is balanced by its rich, round, malty palate.

 Tricerahops is double everything you already love in an IPA. More hops, more malt body and a higher gravity define this Double India Pale Ale. Fiercely flavorful, guaranteed to satisfy.
Silver Moon Brewing - Bend, Oregon Dark Side Stout - Foreign Stout - 6.4% ABV Jet black color and a foamy head makes this beer inviting to all dark beer fans. Rich and full bodied, Dark Side is a malt forward beer with notes of coffee and chocolate, without the burnt character of a dry stout. We used the choicest English malts and hops to blend this European style beer. Sip into the darkside.
Southern Oregon Brewing -Medford, Oregon Black Heart - Imperial Stout - 8.5% ABV Black Heart Imperial Stout is startlingly rich and complex as its roasted, chocolaty malt aromas and flavors are balanced perfectly with Warrior hops. A slight alcohol heat lends a spice to this mammoth beer which finishes with a creamy smooth texture on the palate. Black Heart is full of body and not for the faint of heart.
The Commons - Portland, Oregon Sticke Double Alt - Secret Alt A bigger, hoppier brother to the alt. The beer harkens back to the days when recipes were measured in handful’s and buckets. As the story goes, a brewer screwed up his alt recipe by adding too much malt and so compensated with additional hops. This mistake beer was a secret and only shared with those in the know. We have no plans to keep our beer a secret.
Three Creeks Brewing - Sisters, Oregon Rudolph Imperial Red - Strong Ale - 8.6% ABV It’s a big, malty, hoppy red-style ale with ten specialty malts and over twelve pounds of hops.
Vertigo Brewing - Hillsboro, Oregon Friar Mike’s - IPA - 6.1% ABV Hand-crafted IPA recipe with help from the Friar himself. Brewed with generous amounts of Columbus, Amarillo, and Cascade hops. An English-style IPA with a Northwest accent.
