Come down and help Full Sail Brewing Co. and Saraveza drink a few pints to support a great cause!

Wednesday, January 4, 2012

Thurs, Jan. 12th, 6-8PM:  Full Sail’s new “Brewer’s Share” Program will feature a series of beers, each being developed by a different brewer in the Full Sail family.  The first in the series, aptly titled “Barney’s Special Bitter” (ESB), comes from Brewing Supervisor, Barney Brennan, and will be on tap all night.  He’ll be in house too telling us all about the beer and this special program, where the brewer also chooses a local charity or organization to receive a portion of the proceeds from the beer’s sale.  Barney’s choice is Columbia Gorge Arts in Education, providing visual, literary, and performing arts to local K-12 students in the Mid-Columbia region.  So every pint we drink (and 22oz bottle we take home) does some real good, and golly, doesn’t Full Sail’s brew make us feel so good anyway? As an added bonus, we’ll be pouring Full Sail’s very seasonally appropriate, and fairly rare, “Old Boardhead” barley wine on tap.  See you there!

HOP SCHOOL: Portland U-Brew Single Hop Beer Tasting

Sunday, December 11, 2011

SAT. DEC. 17th, 6-10pm: If you haven’t heard of Jason Webb & Aaron Gillham’s SE Milwaukee brainchild, then listen up, ‘cause it’s changing the way Portland’s craft beer lovers are getting hands-on brewing experience.  U-Brew & Pub has a fully stocked and ready to rock brew-house and homebrew supply store that allows anyone from the first-timer to the journeyman to brew ANY style.  If that’s not enough, the boys have their own U-Brew brews on tap in the tasting room, rounding out this trifecta of brewing independence.

One such U-Brew project has been their single-hop series, in which they brewed the same session-able base beer with eight different hops.  On this night, we’ll have all eight on tap between Saraveza and the Bad Habit room for a rare and fun opportunity to experience what different hop varietals really bring to the palatable table.  There’ll be samples of each hop to smell, tasting sheets with information on each one and space for your notes.  So join us Saturday night for what’s sure to be a fun and educational look at the “spice” in the beers we all know and love! 

Hops Represented:     
• Cascade      
• Centennial    
• Galaxy        
• Magnum      
• Perle  
• Target
• Sterling  
• Tettnanger

Purchase tickets in advance ($15) or at the door ($16).  Tickets include eight 4oz pours. 

MOVIE NIGHT at the BAD HABIT: Prohibition’s “A Nation of Scofflaws”

Sunday, November 27, 2011

MON, DEC. 5TH is the 78th anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition in the United States.  Join us as we recognize this important date in our Bad Habit Room, looking, listening, learning and libating during Part Two of Ken Burns’ “Prohibition” documentary: A Nation of Scofflaws.

A Nation of Scofflaws deals heavily with the development of bootlegging operations, and much of the focus is on the Pacific Northwest, so we figured it’d make for a proper “distillation” of the three part documentary. 

We’ll have a nice assortment of appropriate beverages on tap, like Russian River’s “Blind Pig” IPA (speakeasies were known as blind pigs), Carlton Cyderworks’ “Carry Nation” Hard Cider (Carry A. Nation was a most formidable temperance activist at the time), and a special surprise very much in line with the evening’s theme… 
 
The show starts at 6PM and is just under two hours, so come early for the best seats, some food and drink from Saraveza, then we’ll all hunker down like the “scofflaws” we know we would’ve been in the late 1920’s before a flicker show.  See you there!

• No Cover
• Doors at 5 pm
• Film at 6 pm
• Saraveza full menu available
