It’s time to bring back the Oregon Beer News posts for a new year and try it out again. It’s been some time since last running these daily updates, and with the pandemic still raging this is going to look a bit different. There will be little-to-no reporting of events, … Continue reading
This week I received a bottle of Chocolate Stout from Double Mountain Brewery, the new seasonal collaboration with Ranger Chocolate Company. Not only is it the brewery’s final seasonal release of 2020, but it’s a new style of refillable bottle; still 500ml, but taller and thinner than the previous ones. … Continue reading

Arriving just before the weekend: the 2020 edition of Wickson Crab Cider from Double Mountain Brewery. As the name implies, this one is made from crab apples to “impart a wonderful earthiness and incredible aromas of ripe honeydew and Meyer lemon.” I’d also received a bottle of this last year, … Continue reading
