Here is the news in beer from around Oregon for Tuesday, December 11. As usual I’ll be periodically updating this post throughout the day with news as I find it, so check back in from time to time for the latest. And if you have news to share, feel free to contact me and I can get it posted.

The Bier Stein (Eugene) is hosting a Winter Ale Fest in conjunction with the Eugene Ale Trail tonight from 5 to 8pm: “Spend an evening celebrating Eugene’s local brew culture at the Bier Stein! Taste new and seasonal beers from local breweries who will be there to pour free samples for you. Look for Oakshire Brewing, Alesong Brewing & Blending, Sam Bonds Brewing, Claim 52 Brewing, Viking Braggot Company and WildCraft Cider Works.

Baerlic Brewing (Portland) has a pair of beer releases today: Yippee-kI-PA India Pale Ale and Altbierior Motives German Alt. The Alt is a classic Dusseldorf Altbier in style, but the IPA is definitely a Christmas beer! “In honor of the greatest Christmas film of all time, we bring you the greatest Christmas Movie themed IPA of all time! Enough resinous pine to take down a terrorist with enough malty sweet left over for the love of his life…Yippee Ki Yay Mother Gruber!” Get them at 4pm. Oh, and if that wasn’t enough for you, Baerlic is overachieving with an additional can release of  Pancake House Cocoa Maple Coffee Imperial Stout.

Belmont Station (Portland) welcomes Wayfinder Beer tonight for the release of two beers in cans: “Wayfinder is canning a couple of tasty offerings and we are on the list to be the first to get them. Lagerbier Hell – Crisp, light, refreshing, brilliantly effervescent with a floral, noble hop aroma. NOW in CANS! BeYOB Doppelbock – Quadruple-decocted, extra-strong lager, spawned in homage to Oregon’s legendary doom-metal band YOB. A deep, intense and nourishing brew, conditioned at below-freezing temps for weeks. Epic, crushing, heavy beyond words. BeYOB Doppelbock will be also be on draft for this day’s festivities. Please note: cans will be available all hours of operation in the can and bottle shop.” It takes place from 5 to 8pm. These beers will also be available at Wayfinder’s pub, so don’t miss out!

Be sure to stop in and help out with a pint or three!
