September 19: Autumnal Prequinox BBQ @ Racoon Lodge
Fall is nearly upon us! Here at the Raccoon Lodge & Brew Pub and Cascade Brewing, we're celebrating the changing of the seasons with an Autumnal Prequinox BBQ. The event will take place this Saturday, Sept. 19 from 3 to 9:30 pm on the back patio of the Raccoon Lodge, 7424 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy.
At 5 pm, Brewmaster Ron and his crew will roll out the barrel to debut this year's Fresh
Hop beer. Barrel conditioned, this Cascadian dark style was made with 5 lbs per barrel of wet Crystal
& Cascade hops. We tasted some today, and it is quite roasty and delicious. The beer will be
kegged off and available on tap in the pub the following week. We'll also introduce this year's Ipanox
2009, a well conditioned and nicely balanced aged IPA. Ipanox was made with Cascade Perle,
Brewer Gold and Amarillo hops, coming in at 6.25% ABV and 73 IBU. For those of you who know
Ron, there will undoubtedly be a few other surprises up his sleeve!
We'll be serving up roasted chicken hindquarters rubbed with Ron's secret recipe, house smoked pulled pork sandwiches, crowd pleasing quarter racks of BBQ pork ribs, grilled sausages, roasted potatoes and corn on the cob.
Brewmaster Ron is awfully busy, as his group Black Lodge will provide Bluegrass Folk music, while The Rhinestoners pound out deep roots country style. We can't think of a better place to say goodbye to summer and greet the fall! For more info, call 503-296-2779 or visit www.raclodge.com.
