The following beer will not be on tap all at once but some at booths and tables outside in a covered tent, and others rotating through the taps inside Saraveza and The Bad Habit Room over the full weekend.


Against the Grain: Wine Barrel-aged Coq de la Marche
This Session Saison safely falls into step with those beers striding confidently along that most fateful walk. Brewed with a dash of spelt and a healthy late hop addition this fine, frothy friend was fermented warm to perfect attenuation and carbed up high for a flavor that is at once bright, rich, juicy and ultra crisp. Strut your stuff, man. ABV: 5.8% IBU: 31.1.

Agrarian Farmhouse Ales: Curiosity
Biere de Mars 6%:  This traditional spring farmhouse ale is bright a floral with a heavy dose of estate Mt. Hood hops.  Two toast level Munich malt and a little Vienna malt make for a beautiful orange tint and balanced maltiness perfect for our balmy, Oregon springs.  

Agrarian Farmhouse Ales: Apricity (2015 vintage)
winter saison 8%:  With a simple, clean base of organic pils and pale malts, and a restrained hand of Cascade hops, we let the Belgian Saison yeast shine in this tradition-inspired golden ale.  Aromas of spice and stone fruit seem to jump right out of the glass at you, drawing you into its enveloping realm of complex fruit, malt, and spice flavors.  Dry and yet rich, Apricity is sure to live up to its definition - the warmth of the sun in the winter.

Agrarian Farmhouse Ales: Country Song Saison
(8.1%): Brewed in the classic style of a strong export Belgian Saison, with organic unmalted heirloom red wheat, organic pilsner malt, and generous additions of freshly dried, Agrarian grown hops, straight from our drier oast.  It has all the fruity twangy spicy flavors you want in a good country song.  Or rather, saison.

Agrarian Farmhouse Ales: Apple Fringe
(6%): This beer starts with our barn pressed, spontaneously fermented cider that is aged for a year in a used Pinot Noir French oak barrel. The dry, oaky and sour cider is then blended with our bright and fresh malty Biere de Mars to reach a smooth mouthfeel and crisp yet complex tart finish.

Benedictine Brewery: Mea Culpa I (one)
NW/Belgian Wild Ale. The beer started as a Belgian IPA, and evolved into a wild ale.  An accident, my fault, for sure.  Citrus, fruit and subtle spice flavors from the grains and yeast are in balance with the hops from our own farm. And as the beer ages, the barn is finding its way into the flavor.   ABV 7.0%.

Blackberry Farms: New World Cuvee (dry-hopped Saison)
Inspired by classic Old World farmhouse ales, balanced by the bright character and nuances of New World hops, this golden dry-hopped saison features Wakatu, Equinox, and Comet hops. 6.3% Abv.

Block 15 Brewing: Here Comes the Sunshine 2017
Bière de Mars. Our nod to Northern France's springtime farmhouse ales, this Bière de Mars is inspired by budding flowers, new growth, and the sun emerging from its winter slumber. Its blend of North American malted barley, French Pilsner malt, and locally-grown white wheat produces a rustic grist character that is complemented by gentle hopping with Oregon and European varietals and fermentation with a pair of characterful yeast strains. Together, they produce a bright and lively farmhouse ale offering nuanced complexity and a crisp, refreshing finish.

Block 15 Brewing: Caves Saison
Wild house cultured saison brewed exclusively for Block 15’s spinoff restaurant & bar Les Caves in Corvallis, Oregon. 5.1% Abv.

The Bruery: Tonnellerie Rue
Tonnellerie Rue is a special variation of our rye saison that has been 100% fermented in oak barrels. Using this more traditional storage technique during the fermentation process adds further complexity to an already complex beer by allowing the natural yeast and bacteria, still nestled within the porous oak from previous fermentations, to eat away at the wort’s sugars while it slowly evolves into delicious beer.  The final product is dry and earthy with a slight sour tinge, light rye spice and earthy funk.

The Bruery: Jardinier
Jardinier, which is French for “gardener,” was inspired by the fresh, sessionable beers so often found on the Belgian dinner table. Bright and flavorful with an assertive hop character, Jardinier is a perfect beer for any occasion, casual or ornate. 4.5% Abv.

De Garde Brewing: Elements of Composition
We’re pleased to introduce Elements of Composition, a blend of beer and friendship spanning the course of years. In February 2016, brewers from De Garde Brewing, Jester King Brewery, and Sante Adairius Rustic Ales in met in Tillamook, Oregon to blend beer from each of their respective breweries.
