a beer blog about portland, oregon and all the wonderful craft beer in our fair city. we're craft beer ambassadors & beer geek enthusiasts; we meet up over tasty beers. some of us homebrew, a few of us are pro brewers, some of us are hobbyists, and some are firmly entrenched in the portland craft beer scene!
In our third year, the St John’s Winter Beer Fest will feature more than twenty of the finest winter beers available! Some of these include: Logsdon Farmhouse Ales Cerasus- A Flanders-style Red Ale, oak-aged, with 45 pounds of local cherries per barrel.
Ale Industrie’s Fall Down Brown- It is a brown ale that has been brewed with smoked pumpkin. FDB drinks more like a Rauch Beer than a traditional pumpkin beer. Don't expect to taste pie with this one!
The festival debut of Awesome Ale’s Spike Driver Strong Ale!
Stone Brewing’s Drew Curtis / Wil Wheaton / Greg Koch Stone Farking Wheaton W00tStout- From the most unlikely yet intensely imaginative trio that is actor and uber-geek champion Wil Wheaton, alternative news website Fark.com creator Drew Curtis and Stone CEO/Co-founder Greg Koch, comes an imperial stout unlike any ever made. Brewed with rye, wheat malt and pecans and partially aged in Bourbon whiskey barrels, this viscous yet silken brew erupts with an oaky, nutty bouquet and rich flavors of vanilla, toast and bitter chocolate.
The fest is held at Plew’s Brews, 8409 N. Lombard, from Noon Friday December 13th to Sunday December 15th at 5 p.m. Glasses, required for tasting, are $5 and tickets for a 4 ounce taste are $1, with some tastes costing 2 tickets. We’ll also be giving away special “ Sunday only” tickets for free so you can come back on Sunday and try that favorite beer one more time!
Once again, we’ll have Tim the Sausage Guy on the grill outside and food from the kitchen inside.
St John’s is served by the #’s 44 and 75 bus lines and is a short ten-minute drive from downtown Portland.
