Here’s the news in beer from around Oregon for Tuesday, the 19th of January. As usual, I’ll be periodically updating this post throughout the day, so check back often for the latest news. And if you have news to share, please contact me and I can get that posted as well.

Bend’s GoodLife Brewing and The Ale Apothecary have teamed up to produce what sounds like a pretty unique beer: a Dortmunder lager inoculated with a mixed strain of wild yeasts, including Brettanomyces. The beer has gone into barrels to age for a year—so we won’t see this beer until at least 2017! GoodLife posted a video of The Ale Apothecary’s Paul Arney describing the process. This will definitely be one to look forward to.

Belmont Station (Portland) has a fun popcorn and cider pairing event today from 5 to 7pm, featuring Washington’s Finnriver Cider: “Masala Pop, savory Indian-spiced popcorn, is one of our favorite bar snacks and it pairs well with Finn River’s incredible ciders. Swing by for samples of both ciders and spicy popcorn and find your own favorite pairing!”

Stickmen Brewing (Lake Oswego): Tonight they are hosting a Winter Brewer’s Pairing Dinner at their pub starting at 6:30pm: “Four course dinner with both beer and wine parings for each course.

Elderberry Blond offers flavors of red grapes, dark bramble fruits and black cherries with a mild earthy note. Cheers!”

Ecliptic Brewing (Portland) announced today that they will be releasing a triple IPA on February 3, dubbed Hypernova Triple IPA. From the press release: “Making its return after being brewed only for Portland and Seattle International Beer Fests in 2015, Hypernova Triple IPA will be released in both draft and 22oz bottles for the first time on February 3rd. Coming in at 12% ABV and exploding with flavor and aroma, this beer is guaranteed to satisfy peoples craving for a hop forward beer with layers of character.

Block 15 Brewery (Corvallis): Their main downtown Corvallis pub (and brewery) is closed this week while they “do a little sprucing up” with a tentative plan to be open by this Friday at happy hour. In the meantime, you can head over to their taproom beginning today for their latest beer release: “For today’s release, founding brewer Nick selected St. Steve’s Private Reserve alongside 2011 Ferme De La Ville Provision.
