Crystal Brewery (Portland, Ore.)
Brewers: Jeff Cooley, Alex McGaw
Beer: A Midsummer Night’s Chamomile Wheat

This beer is a slightly hazy, golden-colored ale with a thick creamy head and floral aroma, with a hint of citrus.

It has a pleasant floral wheat ale with a crisp finish and subtle citrus overtones. This light ale is a welcome addition to your summer drinking quiver and welcome respite for the sweltering summer months to come.

Highland Brewery (Gresham, Ore.)
Brewer: Dan Black
Beer: Toutes les Routes
Style: Belgium saison
Toutes les Routes (means all roads in French) is a Belgian saison, a summer seasonal ale originally brewed by farmers in the French-speaking part of Belgium. This beer was designed to be a thirst quenching and refreshing beer to enjoy during the hot summer months and still packed with flavor. Toutes les Routes was brewed with pilsner, Vienna and wheat malts, with a blend of Chinook, Citra and Golding hops for bitterness, flavor and aroma. Grains of paradise were added to the boil for an added spicy, peppery note that will lend itself to the complexity of the French Saison ale yeast (Wyeast 3711). Enjoy this summer seasonal.

Hillsdale Brewery (Portland, Ore.)
Brewer: Matthew Giglio
Beer: Good Lovin’ Brown Ale
Style: Brown ale
Ahh…. Some of that old good fashion lovin’! This old-world-style brown ale should bring you back to a much simpler time in life … when just the basics were brought together and formed into a working man’s beverage! Break out the crushed velvet suit and prepare for some Good Lovin’! Little to no hop character should leave you malting for more!

Lighthouse Brewery (Lincoln City, Ore.)
Brewer: Doug Ashley
Beer: Deck Hands Dark
Style: American dark ale
A hard-working deck hand knows what he wants after a long day of saying, “Yes, sir” to the captain. He wants to say, “Yes, I’ll have a Deck Hands Dark Ale.” He looks forward to the great American dark ale with subtle roasted malt and delicate hop flavors.

Edgefield Brewery (Troutdale, Ore.)
Brewers: Bruce Loux, Robert Mason, Christina Canto, Stephen Harper, Nathan Whitney, Dustin Andries
Beer: Moonflower Cascadian Dark Ale
Style: Cascadian dark ale
This beer was brewed for the 100th birthday celebration of McMenamins Edgefield historic property. The brewers at Edgefield tried to marry two different beer recipes as closely as possible to create deliciously smooth and nicely hopped dark ale. We hope you enjoy this special offering. Cheers from the Edgefield brewers.

Oak Hills Brewpub (Portland, Ore.)
Brewer: Tony Balzola
Beer: Über Den Rand
Style: Dunkelweiss
This is a dark wheat beer that is laoded with malt character. Banana, clove, chocolate and breadiness are accentuated by a floral and spicy hoppiness. Rose hips were added in the finish to add a subtle pepper quality. This beer was then aged in a Hogshead Whiskey barrel for over 3 months, adding oak and whiskey character.

Concordia Brewery (Portland, Ore.)
Brewers: Kevin Lee, Matt Carter
Beer: Dark Karl
Style: Russian Imperial Stout
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Need not be concerned who Dark Karl is. What should concern you is this tall, dark drink in front of you. As dark as the winter was long, Dark Karl is not a beer for the faint of heart. Just past 8.5 % ABV, I suggest you put on your sunglasses and seek some shade. With over 500 lbs. of the finest ingredients available, you should find this beer to be robust, full-bodied and, most important, full-flavored. For those of you who don’t know, Dark Karl put the barley in the “Barley Cup.” Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

McMenamins on the Columbia (Vancouver, Wa.)
Brewer: Mike Napier
Beer: Pacific Gold
Style: Golden ale
This crisp and hoppy golden ale is perfect for a beautiful Pacific sunset, or sunrise, shared with family and friends. This ale is nicely balanced with a Northwest hop presence and slight tastiness from the Belgian malts. Nice and easy, just like our mellow summer days, cheers.

Monroe Brewery (Corvallis, Ore.)
Brewer: Gary Nance
Beer: Beach Party Kölsch
This refreshing beer was made with German malts and German alt yeast. These ingredients lend a crisp flavor to enable the lime and peppers to also play in the band. The hop sack is a combination of dried serrano pepper with lime zest. Fresh lime juice adds a refreshing tartness to the beer. I thought that at this beach party we would give the lemons a break. I hope that my Beach Party Kölsch proves the best beach beer doesn’t come in a clear bottle.

Fulton Brewery (Portland, Ore.)
Brewer: Ryan Mott
Beer: Brick Top ESB
Style: English ESB
Brick Top ESB is a balanced offering in the deep orange to copper color range. The first flavors that wash over the palate are of mellow burnt sugar followed by a citrusy hop bitterness. The bitterness fades into a biscuit-flavored body. Neither flavor threatens to overwhelm the other as they glide together towards a pleasant, lingering, flowery hop finish. This beer is designed to offer plenty of flavor without seizing one’s palate. It makes a great session beer to be enjoyed by itself or as a companion with most foods. It pairs especially well with fish and chips.

High Street Brewery (Eugene, Ore.)
Brewer: Charlton Fulton
Beer: Lotus Hammer IPA
Lotus Hammer IPA is a medium-bodied IPA with a big pine and citrus hop aroma. The malt complexity provides a solid balance with the hop character that keeps this high IBU beer very drinkable. The addition of Oat malt lends a silky mouth feel to compensate for the lack of Crystal malt. The Munich and Vienna malts add to the malt complexity and give the beer a light golden color.

Thompson House Brewery (Salem, Ore.)
Brewer: Jen Kent
Beer: Boardwalk Amber
Style: American amber
Great classic Pacific Northwest amber full of soft caramel notes then topped off with a hop profile to keep us hop lovers satisfied. Great beer to stroll along with your time.

Roseburg Brewery (Roseburg, Ore.)
Brewer: Tom Johnson
Beer: The Marble Rye
Style: Rye beer
The Marble Rye is a tasty rye India pale ale with Crystal Rye malt and Roast Rye malt swirled into the mash for extra added flavor and color. The Crystal and Roast Rye malts add a toasty caramel complexity with a zing of rye. Citra hops counter the malt with tropical citrus flavor and aroma. The Marble Rye is a natural with a Reuben sandwich and makes a great gift.

West Linn Brewery (West Linn, Ore.)
Brewer: Jeremy Wulf
Beer: Chocolate Monkey Porter
Style: Porter
This chocolate porter is rich, smooth, dark and very refreshing. Just the right balance of hops and various malts were used to create this tasty porter. It is intended to bring out the animal in all of us.

Cornelius Pass Roadhouse Brewery (Hillsboro, Ore.)
Brewers: Chris Oslin, Brady Romtvedt
Beer: Dog Days Vanilla Cream Lager
Style: Nitro cream ale
We started with a big, balanced, hellesbock lager for a clean, sturdy base. In the keg, we added milk sugars for creaminess and raw vanilla beans for pure vanilla goodness. The result is a summer cooler that wouldn’t be out of place pouring from a 1950s soda fountain (excepting the alcohol, of course). Smooth, refreshing, and wonderfully unique, enjoy a pint of Dog Days Vanilla Cream Lager today.
