Coffee & beer: the Northwest’s two favorite brews are in the spotlight for the inaugural NW Coffee Beer Invitational, taking place Saturday, Jan. 25 from 1 to 7pm
at the Goose Hollow Inn, 1927 SW Jefferson St. in Portland. Admission
costs $12 which includes a festival glass and six taster tickets.
Twelve
talented brewers were selected to create freshly-brewed beer made with
locally-roasted coffee. With the emphasis on flavors, and an ABV of 7%
or less, this event promises to surprise with both provocative and
inspired combinations. Participating breweries include 10 Barrel, Base
Camp, Breakside, Burnside, Coalition, Fire on the Mountain, Grain
Station, Lucky Labrador, Old Town, Pints, Three Creeks and Widmer.
The
cozy Goose Hollow Inn will offer its unique, convivial atmosphere along
with special savories on the menu to complement the brews. And what
goes best with coffee beer? Donuts, of course! The delicious
Donut-O-Rama cart will be parked outside to serve up warm crème brûlée
beignets.
Live
music will be provided by The Austin Stewart Quartet and Whistle Trap
Johnson and the Logger’s Daughter, playing throughout the day.
The
event is the brainchild of Dave Fleming, the well respected and popular
brewer who's worked at Lucky Labrador, Lompoc, McMenamins and Three
Creeks, and is currently working with Kell's Brewpub, Coalition and
Willamette Valley Hops.
