DRINK FOR A CAUSE! An Unprecendented Line-Up: SASQUATCH LEGACY VERTICAL + TRIBUTE BEER

Walking ManWED. MAY 12th, 6-8pm: Be a part of this annual effort, spearheaded by Walking Man Brewing, that recognizes an Oregon brewing legacy while benefiting the quality of NW beer! We’ll have a tap list only found at Saraveza: Sasquatch Legacy ‘08, ‘09, ‘10 and Jim Caldwell tribute beer, Walking Man Iron Man IPA. With each Sasquatch Legacy Project beer poured, $1 will go to the Glen Hay Falconer Foundation’s Brewing Scholarship Program.  Each Legacy dollar raised will be matched by Saraveza and donated to the Caldwell family.

This year’s Legacy is a NW Imp. Oatmeal Porter. Walking Man’s head brewer, Jacob Leonard describes the beer; “Sweet citrus, with dank pine and dark rich chocolate.”

The Iron Man IPA is a VERY hoppy beer made with honey and agave nectar in the kettle. Jim, who was responsible for the beautiful Walking Man iron work and loved tequila and honey, went missing a few months ago.

ABOUT THE BEERS:

‘08 LEGACY - Imp Vienna (a Saraveza staff favorite!). Brewed by Corey Blodgett of McMenamins (PDX) & Jacob Leonard of Walking Man (Stevenson, WA)
‘09 LEGACY - Belgian IPA. Brewed by Patrick Miller (homebrewer) and Vasilios Glestos of Pyramid (PDX)
‘10 LEGACY - NW Imp Oatmeal Porter. Brewed by Kachusha Munkanta of 21st Amendment Brewing (San Fran.) and Evan Taylor of Silver Moon Brewing (Bend, OR)

The Release of Double Mountain’s “Bonne Idée”!!!

Double Mountain BreweryThursday, April 29, 6-9pm: We’re so proud and excited to be hosting the release of Double Mountain‘s Oregon Farmhouse Ale!  So excited, in fact, that we’re making some tasty free snacks to pair with the new brew!

Named “Bonne Idée”, which is French for “good idea,” this beer is 8+%, brewed broadly in the style of a big Saison. It features a yeast blend of 80% Wy’East 3726 (the strain selected for Cheers To Belgian Beers) and 20% of our house Kolsch ale yeast. The malt bill is Gambrinus 2-row Pilsner with additions of malted wheat, Vienna malt and some Dark Munich malt, and it is respectfully hopped with Perle, Newport and Cascade. The hops pair nicely in the aroma with the spicy esters from the yeast; the mouthfeel is big and sumptuous, with a complex set of flavors; the finish is long and more-ish, with a noticably hoppy backbone. In a nutshell, this is another rocked-out Double Mountain version of an archetypal style.

Come at 6pm and enjoy some housemade Boudin Blanc sausages made specifically to compliment the new brew! And if you are lucky you’ll win some schwag brought to you by Double Mountain’s brewers Matt and Charlie!!
