Here is the Oregon beer news for Tuesday, January 12. As usual, I’ll be periodically updating this post throughout the day, so check back often for the latest news. If you have news to share, please contact me and I can get that updated as well.

Portland’s Charlie Devereux, co-founder and former owner of Double Mountain Brewery, has been working on his own project behind the scenes for some time since he left Double Mountain over two years ago. This week the name and details are finally revealed: Wayfinder Beer. DJ at Brewpublic broke the news yesterday, and today Ezra at the New School has an in-depth article. Both worth the read; sounds like Wayfinder is going to be an ambitious and impressive brewery, I’ll look forward to drinking there at some future point!

McMenamins on Monroe (Corvallis) has a meet the brewer and beer tasting today from 4 to 7pm, featuring Bandito’s Serrano Stout: “The oats in this Stout build the foundation that contributes to the creamy mouthfeel and body. The dark Crystal Malt provides flavors of caramel and toffee and the addition of the Serrano Peppers makes this the perfect winter warmer. It’s a complex, rich and malty beer designed to chase away the chill on a cold winter day and transport you to a warmer place, where the peppers might grow.” Come on by, meet brewer Gary Nance and sample this spicy concoction.

Uptown Market (Beaverton) is hosting an event in conjunction with the Beaverton Craft Beer Festival (which itself takes place in August), the BCBF Cheers Over Beers from 5:30 to 7:30pm tonight: “Join us at Uptown Market on Scholls to learn about their beers and the history of Uptown while we enjoy beer.

See if you can beat their regulars!”
