Widmer Brew With the Brewer!
Widmer Brew with the Brewer
Uptown Market was at Widmer Brewing to discuss the details of the upcoming brew with the brewer! The start of the event can be found on a poll on facebook in which we are asking the public to pick the beer that you want to brew at Uptown Market with a Widmer Brewer! While we are still discussing the final details of the event below you can find the blog post on our meeting with Widmer!
We met with Ben the Brewer to pick a date and set up some of the details. It was a big step toward a great upcoming event. They were kind enough to give us a private tour of their brewery as well!
Widmer was a wonderful host to us for the planning of the upcoming Brew with the Widmer Brewer! We were truly impressed with how compact all of the facility was. Keep checking back for upcoming details on the event! We will be selecting the beer from the facebook pole on Thursday 2/9!
BrewVana Tour!
Uptown Market was cordially invited to participate in a Brew Tour from Brewvana! What a tour it was. The bus painted on the inside with a Michelangelo theme but beer cups coming together, proved to be a stable thorobread for the entire group throughout the tour. Ashley was bubbly and an incredible tour guide as well as a wealth of information about the breweries and brews. We started the night out at Hopworks Urban Brewery. We received a brew tour from one of the head brewers.
Our Tour Guide Ashley!
The Tour included all the drinks and typically would hit 4 different breweries! Ours started out at Hop Works and from there went on to The Commons Brewery
The Commons Brewery is one of the newest nano breweries that has popped up in Portland. Mike started this brewery out of his garage, literally licensed his house as a brewery to brew from his home. Through his success he has been able to open a brewery and tap room for tasting. The space they have here is clean with the brew process just in front of where you are tasting!
We then headed on to Coalition Brewery. They have a fantastic Grilled Cheese food cart outside their place that we were able to get some food while tasting their delicious brews, they let you take it inside to eat as well.
We touched base at Burnside Brewing Company for a pitcher or two. Yet another great establishment in the Portland Area. Burnside brewing will be at Uptown Market this Friday for a tasting!
The last stop on our tour was Amnesia Brewing. Amnesia, in North East Portland is a very friendly place. A heated out door area during the winter and an incredible spot during our summer.
Thank you again to BrewVana for inviting me to Hop on the Bus and get some great craft beer. The trip was amazing and well worth it. If you have not experienced a brewery in the Portland area, this is one to try!
