Time to get back into the swing of things for this hump day, with the Oregon beer news for April 10 and chipping away at the week. As usual I’ll be back to updating this post throughout the day with the latest news as I find it, so check back often.

Pelican Brewing (Pacific City) announced the release of Pink Boots India Pale Lager, the collaboration beer brewed with the Pink Boots Society on International Women’s Day last month. From the press release: “Pelican brewer and Pink Boots Society member, Cat Wiest, collaborated on the beer with female colleagues to celebrate the contributions of women in brewing—the extraordinary product of the team is a unique lager recipe that at once offers a bready, sweet roll maltiness and a super clean finish. Pelican Pink Boots will be on tap later this month at Pelican brewpubs and other participating watering holes. Using a proprietary hop blend created by adventurous, visionary female brewers from across the globe, Pelican Pink Boots IPL features the white grapefruit, cedar, floral and earthy aromas from this special blend. A malt flavor reminiscent of Kings Hawaiian sweet rolls adds a delicious toasty balance, and lager yeast offers an amazingly approachable finish. Enjoy this draft-only lager knowing that the sisters are brewing it for themselves!”

Portland’s Little Beast Brewing is releasing two new canned beers today, Wolf Camp Hoppy Saison and Hot Break Dry-Hopped Sour Ale. About the beers: “Wolf Camp: An American style saison and the first in our series of hoppy saisons – each version featuring a distinct dry hop. This version is dry-hopped with Chinook hops. Clean malt profile, dry saison yeast, piney, resinous, and deep-seated grapefruit peel flavor. 6.1% ABV. Hot Break: An easy drinking tart ale that’s naturally soured, unfiltered and unpasteurized. It’s a thirst-quenching, clean, and crushable tart ale with a bright, lemony and passionfruit character, with distinct notes of mandarin zest and lime from dry hopping with Mandarina Bavaria hops. 4.8% ABV.” They will be available in 16-ounce cans and on draft at the Little Beast Beer Garden tonight starting at 5pm.

The Bier Stein (Eugene) is Tapping Into Community today with School Garden Project and ColdFire Brewing to raise funds for the Project. “Join us as we fund raise for School Garden Project – a local non-profit helping children gain access to healthy food by planting school gardens and cultivating in-school education programs. Supporting this great organization is as easy as enjoying a glass of Coldfire beer with us on April 10th! Since Coldfire has so generously agreed to donate a keg to this event, 100% of the proceeds from the keg will be donated directly to the School Garden Project.” The event runs from 5 to 8pm.

McMenamins Chapel Pub (Portland) is hosting a Friends & Family Night fundraiser tonight for the Humboldt Neighborhood Association. Like all McMenamins’ F&F nights, 50% of the night’s food and drink sales are donated to the organization from 5pm until closing.

10 Barrel Brewing (Bend) announced today the return of its summer seasonal, Swill. “Introduced in 2013, Swill was 10 Barrel’s best selling seasonal, and after a few years hiatus, 10 Barrel is bringing it back by popular demand. Swill is an American Radler— a domestic adaptation of the traditional German Radler style. It is the perfect blend of American Sour ale with multiple layers of citrus. Swill is the quintessential “grill & chill” sessionable beer at 4.5% ABV. Whether hosting a backyard BBQ this Memorial Day, graduation or July 4th, kicking back on the beach or enjoying après an epic day on the trails, Swill is a summertime staple.”

Ecliptic Brewing (Portland) announced the latest beer in its 5 Years / 5 Beers series, a collaboration with Firestone Walker Brewing: Hazy Double IPA. From the press release: “Ecliptic’s Fifth Anniversary celebration continues with the next beer in their “5 Years/5 Beers” series. In deciding what to make, both John Harris, Ecliptic Brewing Owner and Brewmaster, and Firestone Walker Brewmaster Matt Brynildson, knew they wanted a big, juicy beer. The result is a Hazy Double IPA brewed with pale malt, wheat, oats, along with Idaho 7, HBC 692, and El Dorado hops. A Cosmic Beer Dinner with Harris and Brynildson for the release of the Hazy Double IPA is planned at Ecliptic’s pub. On April 24th at 6PM, attendees will enjoy five courses from Ecliptic Brewing Chef Michael Molitor with pairings from each of the breweries and signed bottles of the collaboration to take home. The Hazy Double IPA will also be released in both draft and 500ml bottles throughout Ecliptic Brewing’s distribution network.”

Boneyard Beer (Bend) has a new beer alert today, featuring a beer with an usual grain: “Rapid Transit is an experimentation with a somewhat new to brewing grain variety – malted triticale. Triticale is a cross between rye and durham, low in gluten, first bred in Scotland and Germany. As such we chose a German Kolsch yeast to ferment this Pale Ale. Similar to the U-Bahn subway system operating at lower than ground level, this yeast performs a rapid transit at lower than average temperatures. On draft NOW at Boneyard Pub!”

Claim 52 Brewing (Eugene) has a new hazy IPA out for you: “Pictured here is “I Scream for Lycopene”, our newest Milkshake IPA conditioned on loads of Blood Orange and Guava Puree. It happens to be freshly tapped down at the Kitchen and ready for your enjoyment.”
