New Beer for Tuesday March 13, 2007

Greetings beer lovers!

We only got a couple new beers in today, but when they're this good who can complain?

Alesmith IPA - That's right, the rare and elusive hop-bomb from San Diego is making an appearance here in PDX. As is often the case with AleSmith there's no telling when we'll run out or when we'll be able to get more, so don't hesitate on this one. As the label states, "Its Pretty Awesome!"

Alaskan IPA - This tasty, straw-colored concoction has been popular in Alaska for a while, and now us mainlanders get to enjoy it too. At under $9 per 6 pack it seems like it'll be a welcome addition to our cooler. Look for the neon green label, it's pretty hard to miss.

In other news, the cafe is progressing nicely. All the equipment and furniture is in place and a manager was hired yesterday. All that remains is a couple weeks of training (plus some last minute stuff) and we should be open the first weekend in April.

On that note, Friday April 6th we'll be hosting our first of many "Meet the Brewer/Beer" events. The first one will feature Ben Love (formerly of Pelican, soon to be head brewer at H.U.B.) and the brewers/owners from Midnight Sun. They've teamed up to create a collaborative beer (more details on the brew later) and they'll be bringing the first batch here for you to sample. Beer specials and pricing are still being worked out, but at least you can save the date.
