Here is the Tuesday news in the world of Oregon beer for this September 25; Tuesdays are great days for brewery fundraising events so watch for the ones local to you. As usual I’ll be updating this post throughout the day so check back often.

Widmer Brothers Brewing (Portland) hosts its Pints for Portland fundraising night this evening, benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oregon: “Join us for the Pints for Portland Happy Hour event benefiting RMHC! Meet us at the Widmer Brothers Pub on N. Russell Street. 100% of all beer sales from this event go directly to RMHC Oregon & SW Washington.” You can drink beer and raise money from 4 to 7pm tonight—get some GABF-award-winning Hefe while you’re there.

If you’re seeking out fresh hops today, head over to Gigantic Brewing to partake in its “first taste Tuesday” of the brewery’s second fresh hop offering: “[Today’s] #firsttastetuesday (9/25) is our SECOND fresh hop beer of the season, featuring straight-off-the-bine citra hops. It’s called Hopbot, and it is our first exclusive collaboration with New Seasons Market. The label art is by a New Seasons employee, and bottles will only be available at you guessed it- New Seasons. We will have it on draft at the taproom for as long as it lasts.”

Deschutes Brewery (Bend): Tuesdays are Community Pints at the Deschutes locations, with $1 from every pint sold going to benefit a local non-profit. In Bend, the Pub and Tasting Room are benefiting the Deschutes Public Library, while in Portland the Pub is benefiting Deschutes employee Colby Nightingale: “This month, every $1 per pint sold on Tuesdays goes to our fellow Deschutes Brewery co-owner, Colby Nightingale, who was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Please keep Colby in your thoughts.” (The Bend pub will benefit Colby on Thursday as well.)

Oregon City Brewing hosts its Charity Pint Night tonight, benefiting OPB Music. “BONUS! Tuesday Night Pints for Charity featuring special release beer “Chart Hopper IPA” in collaboration with opb music. Come on down and support our favorite local radio station with a pint… or two!” From 5pm on, $1 from every pint sold is donated, so make sure to swing by for a few pints.

McMenamins has a number of Friends & Family Night fundraisers today at several locations, including:

• Hotel Oregon, benefit for Sue Buel Elementary School (McMinnville)
• High Street Brewery, benefit for Oregon Supported Living (Eugene)

At each location, 50% of the night’s proceeds from 5pm on are donated to the respective organization.

And McMenamins Fulton Pub (Portland) has its limited-edition beer tasting tonight from 6 to 8pm, featuring Beyond Thundercone Fresh Hop Mosaic Pale: “Fresh Mosaic Hops from the fields of Oregon’s Sodbuster Farms were rushed to the Edgefield within hours of the hops being picked. We then froze them using liquid nitrogen and shattered them to expose the resins and essential oils inside. This beer is packed with aromas of fresh stone fruit, blueberries, and mango.”

Eugene’s Beergarden continues its Oktoberfest celebration today, featuring a tapping with Hop Valley Brewing.
