Sasquatch American Strong Ale was brewed in collaboration with the Eugene area brewers to celebrate the life of deceased brewer Glen Hay Falconer, otherwise known as the “Sasquatch”. The recipe was his flagship brew during his career at the Wild Duck Brewpub in Eugene, Oregon.

Sasquatch has a deep mahogany color and a body that is toasty-sweet. Willamette, Cascade, Centennial, Chinook and Saaz hops give an incredibly rich and complex herbal flavor and crisp bitterness that remind you that this is “beer”.
17.5 Deg Plato OG 6.9% ABV 65 IBU
Hopworks will contribute 10% of the proceeds from the sales of Sasquatch Strong Ale to the Sasquatch Legacy Project, a non-profit which raises money to send deserving brewers to brewing school.

Brewpubs & restaurants contend for the prestigious Chowder Cup at the third annual Chowder Challenge.

A dozen Portland brewpubs and restaurants will vie for the coveted Chowder Cup at the third annual Chowder Challenge. The blind tasting competition will take place on Saturday, Feb. 28 from Noon to 6 p.m. at the Fifth Quadrant, 3901-B N Williams Ave. Admission is $10, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit Locks of Love.

New England-style clam chowders (no Manhattan allowed) will compete for the prestigious People’s Choice Chowder Cup, along with prizes in other categories including Most Authentic, Most Flavorful and Best with Beer. The Morrison Hotel set the bar in the last challenge, sweeping all categories and wresting the cup away from the inaugural winner, The New Old Lompoc.

The festivities will also feature a beer garden, live music, a rootbeer garden, Joe the Balloon Guy, and food for purchase. Minors are welcome at the event.

Samples of chowder from 12 area brewpubs and restaurants will be served in non-labeled, two-ounce cups. After tasting all entries, attendees will vote for their favorite. The chowder receiving the most votes will be named the People’s Choice Winner and will take home the coveted Chowder Cup. Celebrity judges will determine the winners of the other three categories.

The New Old Lompoc family of pubs will represent the Home Team: the New Old Lompoc, the Hedge House, the Fifth Quadrant, and the Oaks Bottom Pub.

The Challengers will be announced soon.
