Magic Hat Brewing Now Available in Oregon

Magic Hat Brewing Now Available in Oregon:

Depending on who you ask Magic Hat Brewing's #9 is either one of their favorite beers or total crap.  Technically not craft beer since it's part of North American Breweries which is now owned by Cerveceria Costa Rica along with Pyramid Brewing it was still many folks from Vermont's first intro to craft beer.

Sam Adams brings back the first name in American craft beer: New Albion

Sam Adams brings back the first name in American craft beer: New Albion: I've never had a beer from the country's first microbrewery, New Albion, and I imagine you haven't, either, because the brewery closed its doors in 1982. But now we can, thanks to NA founder Jack McAuliffe and Sam Adams founder Jim Koch, who've brought the beer back to the shelves of America --- using the original yeast that's been cultured since 1977!

Full Sail Brewing Announces

Full Sail Brewing Announces:
Full Sail Brewing Announces a New Rotating Pub Ale Series
Hood River, Oregon – Full Sail Brewing has just announced the release of a new rotating line of classic ales called the Pub Series. “Anyone lucky enough to stop for a pint at our Pub in Hood River, Oregon, will tell you: It’s a spectacular place to share a beer with friends. The Full Sail Pub Series is our attempt to capture that experience a bottle and share it with all our customers who have not had a chance to see us first hand. We can offer you a taste of our pub in this rotating series of classic ales previously enjoyed only by our guests at the brewery. Each selection will be available for only 90 days before the next gets its turn to shine. Just like each epic season in the Gorge,” said Irene Firmat, Full Sail Brewing’s Founder and CEO.
The first beer in the series is Nut Brown Ale, a smooth, malty & easy drinking dark beer. “After a long day on the mountain carving turns in deep powder, snowboarders and skiers make their way down the mountain to warm up and relive all those great runs in our pub. Our British-style Nut Brown Ale helps fuel the stories of deep powder and epic yard sales. The combination of 2-row pale, crystal, and chocolate malts impart an array of malt and chocolate flavors in a medium bodied ale with an extremely smooth palate. Nut Brown Ale drinks smooth and easy so those epic tales can go on and on. Fuggle and Mt. Hood hops contribute a slightly spicy aroma and finish to complement this beer’s malt character,” said Jamie Emmerson, Full Sail Brewing’s Executive Brewmaster. Nut Brown Ale is available in 6-packs and on draft for 90 days only from January to March when the next beer in the series will be released. ABV 6.0% IBU 31
