Old Town Brewing Co. Taps Grimm Collaboration Beer to Benefit Doernbecher
Portland brewery will donate $2 of every pint of “Wesen Wiezen” sold to OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital
Portland, Ore.
– Old Town Brewing Co.®
(OTB®),
a locally owned and operated Portland brewery, will celebrate the season premiere of Grimm’s®
fourth season on Oct. 24, 2014,
with the tapping of its Wesen Wiezen specialty brew. For every pint
sold, OTB will donate $2 to the Grimmster Endowment at OHSU Doernbecher
Children’s Hospital.
No
stranger to ghosts and legends with its famed haunted location in Old
Town, Old Town Brewing Co. knew locally filmed and beloved
Grimm would be the perfect partner for a specialty beer, and just in
the time for Halloween, too. The result is a delicious reflection of
Portland and the show’s character.
The
Wesen Wiezen, a black Bavarian hefeweizen brewed in tribute to
Portland’s own Grimm TV show, is a classic Bavarian-style hef with
black malt that shifts the shape of the sessionable black ale. The
specialty brew will be available at both the brewery location on Martin
Luther King Blvd. and the Old Town Pizza Davis Street taproom location
until it’s sold out.
“For
Old Town Brewing Co., this is what it’s all about - creating beer with
local partners that reflect the spirit of our city, while
being able to give something back to an incredibly important local
organization,” said Adam Milne, owner of Old Town Brewing Co. and Old
Town Pizza. “My hope is that the community will rally around this
opportunity to enjoy incredible beer and raise as much
money as possible for Doernbecher.”
Old
Town Brewing Co. has been busy during its first two years of inception,
scooping up four major awards in the last 12 months, two
from the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) and two from the World
Beer Cup. Those beers include the following:
- GABF 2014, Silver, I’d Like to Buy the World a Kölsch, German-Style Kölsch category
- GABF 2013, Gold, Cents and Sensibility, Fresh Hop category
- World Beer Cup 2014, Silver, I’d Like to Buy the World a Kölsch, German-Style Kölsch category
- World Beer Cup 2014, Bronze, Paulie’s Not Irish Red, Irish Style Red Ale category
About Old Town Brewing Co./Old Town Pizza
Old
Town Brewing Co. (OTB) opened in northeast Portland, Ore., in 2012.
With an emphasis on crafting its beer to reflect the spirit,
values, history and personality of Portland, OTB proudly uses
Portland’s legendary white stag symbol as the emblem for its beers. OTB
is the first Portland brewery to deliver beer and pizza by bike straight
to consumers, rain or shine. Reclaimed materials
were extensively incorporated into the design of the brewery, evoking
an atmosphere authentic to Portland.
Owner Adam Milne opened OTB to complement his Old Town Pizza®
location in Portland’s historic Old Town neighborhood. A devoted Old
Town Pizza customer since celebrating his ninth birthday at the
restaurant, Milne purchased Old Town Pizza from the original owners, the
Accuardi family, in 2003.For more information visit
