BeerDesc
Acidulated white wheat, raspberries and an
inoculation of lactobacillus in the fermenter give this
American ale its tart, fruity taste. Low hop levels let
the special sour flavors dominate, and rice syrup helps
yield a particularly light finish and body. This is a real
summer refresher.
Don't let this beer's golden hue deceive you. Despite
its hop-houndish name, this brew is malty and easy-
drinking, meant to be one you can enjoy at a leisurely
pace all evening without exhausting your palate or
putting you at risk with heavy machinery. With just
enough hops for balance, it's a great one to enjoy with
dinner.
Known for their innovation, Alameda's 2012 OBF
offering doesn't disappoint. A robust hop schedule of
Columbus, Cascade, Amarillo and Simcoe hops in the
boil, whirlpool and fermenter complement the unique
grain bill of German Pilsner malt, German Munich malt
and Crystal rye. Then, the assertive juice of
huckleberries pumps up the gravity and adds a sweet
fruity touch to the dry but full-bodied brew.
This rich award-winning brew boasts a unique flavor
ingredient: 1,000-year-old glacial waters! Dark and
creamy, a generous dose of oatmeal provides a rich,
smooth taste to counterbalance the roasty flavors of
the various dark malts. A high finishing gravity means
it has residual sweetness and body to balance the
bitterness.
This honey-gold elixir is crisp and clear, with an
unusual lightness and dryness for such a full-flavored
ale. The arousing abundance of Pacific Northwest
hops adds both a floral bouquet and a lively, citrusy
finish.
7/31/2019 OBF Program
59/95
2-Row, Caramel and Carapils malts provide just
enough malty sweetness to balance this beer's
amazing seven - yes, seven - different hops added
several times to the boil, as well as to the knock-out
and in the fermenter. Northern Brewer, German
Tradition, Columbus, Chinook, Centennial, Amarillo
and Simcoe give it not only a bracing bitterness, but a
rich, ho flavor.This award-winning beer begins life as a "mere"
doppelbock, then graduates to even greater intensity
as a concentrated Eisbock after spending seven weeks
in secondary fermenters at 30 degrees F. Traditional
decoction mashing of Pilsner, Munich and chocolate
malts extracts all the malty goodness, complemented
by a light touch of Hallertauer, Perle and Saaz hops.
Many IPA lovers look for a one-to-one ratio of
bitterness points (IBU) to original gravity points. This
beer not only does that, but throws in the unique
character of debittered black malt to provide richness
and roasty sweetness without the sharp edge, letting
the hops shine through. Stout lovers and IPA lovers,
unite!In some ways a simple, no-nonsense brew, the unique
flavor of this beer comes from the "Oregonberry"
concoction - a mix of plums, blueberries and cherries
to sweeten and deepen the wort made from pale,
light wheat and honey malts. The hop bill is also very
Oregon: Cascade, which adds a bit more citrus and a
delightful floral character. Light and refreshing, its low
alcohol means you can go back for more, or fill the
mu !About 7% of the fermentables in this beer come from
organic clover honey. The rest is pale, Crystal and
Munich malt, seasoned with Cascade hops and fresh
organic basil. Yes, basil - about two pounds per barrel,
added in the last 15 minutes instead of hops. Makes
you wonder, how would this beer go with fresh
tomatoes and mozzarella?
7/31/2019 OBF Program
60/95
Beautiful, first-use Rocky Mountain snowmelt
comprises over - but just over - 90% of this beer. The
fruity, estery house ale yeast has done great work
converting the malt base of pale, wheat and 20L
caramel malt. Centennial hops at first wort and
Amarillo in the finish give it both a strong bittering
kick to balance the malt, and a floral, citrusy nose and
ho flavor. This is a classic IPA.ZN is Flemish for "Sun," which should give you an
impression of Boulevard's classic summer seasonal.
Coriander & orange peel spice this award-winning
Belgian-style Witbier, derived from pale and wheat
malts plus unmalted wheat. Lightly hopped with
Bravo, CTZ & Simcoe, the spicy, zesty flavors of the
wheat are allowed to shine through.
Successful innovation doesn't always have to be
complex. This single-hopped beer uses the earthy,
minerally, somewhat spicy Delta hop, a relative
newcomer to the hop scene, for all five additions -
bittering, flavoring, aroma and two dry hop additions.
Its almost as simple grain bill is comprised of 2-Row
and Munich malts, fermented by a Northwest ale
east.If you're looking for a break from all the hops, this
might be the place to start. Oregon raspberries are
added to this beer after primary fermentation to
impart a naturally tart finish. The Belgian Trappist
yeast produces classic fruit and spice esters. The beer
is then aged in French oak wine casks for six months.
Com lex? Ja, mein herr!This beer gets its name from the Hop Union Hop Hash
nuggets - pure hop lupulin extracted from Yakima leaf
hops - boiled for 60 minutes in the kettle. Premium
two row, Great Western Munich, Crisp 60L and rolled
oats comprise the grain bill designed to carry this load.
Fermented warm using American Ale yeast to bring
out the fruitiness, the resulting beer is designed to be
a surprise on all fronts. Even the brewer has no idea
how hoppy it'll be.
7/31/2019 OBF Program
61/95
Put on your rose-colored beer goggles: this brew
really is pretty in pink. Whole raspberries added to a
sour mash Berlin-style wheat beer create a berry
splash in this extremely refreshing beer. The raspberry
is apparent on the nose, while the palate is tart and
lemony with a hint of wheat. This may be the most
quenching brew at the festival.
American 2-Row pale, Munich, Carapils and honey
malts along with flaked barley comprise this brew's
complex grain bill. By contrast, only two workhorse
hops - Sterling and Perle - do the heavy lifting on the
lupulin side, but they do double duty with two hop
additions each. The low hop levels keeps this big brew
malt-balanced and easy to drink.
Love for his wife inspired homebrewer Josh Huerta's
brew that became the latest in the Collaborator series.
Pineapple added to the secondary fermenter adds a
fruity sweetness as well as the flavor and aroma of the
fruit, while leaving the acidity and bitterness behind. 2-
Row, Munich and wheat malts are supplemented by
corn sugar for a light-bodied sweet beer that's not
cloying.
This brew's traditional grain bill of 2-Row pale, Crystal
and wheat malts get a flavor boost from a dose of
intense, rich rye malt, giving it a unique tangy flavor
that merges well in an IPA. Four additions of Mt.
Hood, Columbus and Cascade hops provide high hop
bitterness, flavor and aroma, as befits an American
IPA.Another winner from Deschutes! Northwest C-60 and
C-40 no, that's not motor oil, it's Crystal malt on top
of Pale and 2-Row, and it gets this beer's engines
blasting. The beer's high gravity is balanced by gobs of
hops - Nugget for bittering, Northern Brewer for
flavor, and three Cs (Citra, Cascade & Centennial) for
aroma. An English Ale yeast strain provides distinct
fruit esters with a malty, complex profile.

Epic makes a splash worthy of its name with this
highly quaffable, moderately-hopped beer whose
4.8% alcohol content is low only by craft beer
standards. It may be the only beer in the festival using
French hops (Aramis) which, added to the hopback,
provide a delicate, herbal German noble hop type
aroma with a hint of lemon. Calypso and Crystal hops
do the bittering on wort drawn from Weyermann Pils
and Munich Malts and Briess 2-Row Carapils.
This rich, creamy Scottish-style ale - Fearless' flagship
brew -sports a forward malt nose courtesy of Golden
Promise pale and Carastan malts, plus a touch of roast
barley for complexity. The heady aroma leads in to a
sweet malt palate with gentle fruitiness. The finish is
smooth, malty and lingering, and not at all bitter.
Tan lines are supposed to be gradual, and so are hop
additions at Fire Mountain. Centennial and Saaz hops
go into the kettle on a secret schedule, but rumor has
it they don't stop once they start. Pilsner and light
caramel malts provide the grain base to carry all that
hop bitterness. Dry English Ale yeast leaves some malt
flavor behind to balance the hops.
A brand-new beer, Wookey Jack is Firestone Walker's
first foray into the dark outer world of black IPAs.
Rich, dark Midnight Wheat, Carafa Rye, 2-Row pale,
Caramel 77 and spicy rye malts careen into bold, citrus
laden Amarillo and Citra hops for an intense, rich
flavor. At 60 IBUs, Wookey Jack is gnarly on the
outside, yet complex and refined on the inside, left
unfiltered and unfined to retain all of its texture and
character.At 8% alcohol by volume, you might consider this an
"Imperial" wheat beer. Weyermann unmalted wheat
comprises more than half the grain bill, supplemented
by Castle Pils and Weyermann acidulated malts.
Lightly hopped with Hersbrucker hops, the brewers
created an intensely malt-forward wheat that might
challenge your definition of the style.

Fast becoming Flyers' flagship beer, this dark, full
bodied ale has notes of roasted barley, coffee and
bittersweet chocolate from its grain bill of Maris Otter
2-Row, Munich, wheat, chocolate, brown and Crystal
malts along with flaked barley. Challenger hops in the
boil are followed by Cascade for citrusy flavor and Mt.
Hoods in the finish for aroma.
In a nod to a once common food plant at Hackensack
Meadows, Flying Fish brewed this beer with wild rice,
organic brown rice and white rice, as well as pils and
pale malts. That means lots of fermentables - and
alcohol - which gets balanced by five additions of
hops, including Citra, Columbus, Centennial and

Zero IBUs? Brewed from mostly organic ingredients,
the unique flavor of this spicy wheat beer comes from
ground organic coriander, dried organic elderflower
and organic lemongrass. Organic 2-Row malted barley
and organic malted white wheat form the base of this
nearly white beer. A touch of Willamette hops along
with some dancing and imbibing keep the boil under
control.Full Sail's third beer in the Brewer's Share Series is an
unfiltered, refreshingly tart small batch Berliner Weiss
beer, brewed with 50% wheat malt and just a touch of
Hersbrucker hops. This German style sour brew with a
dry finish is designed for a hot summer day. Also
available in 22 oz. bottles, proceeds from sales of this
beer benefit the Oregon State University Brewing
Sciences Program.
Gigantic amounts of hops, malt, alcohol and flavor. If
that isn't the textbook Imperial IPA, don't tell Gigantic
Brewing - they might not give you any of their high-
demand beer. A little bit of Crystal malt is added to
lots of base 2-Row pale and as many hops as they
could find - especially in the hopback, to make sure
you can taste hops in the finish. Did we mention
ho s?

Locally-grown Yamhill County raspberries add a sweet-
tart fruitiness to this sour-mash beer brewed from
Great Western white wheat and Yamhill County grown
and malted IdaPils barley from Christensen Farms. A
light touch of Czech Saaz hops allows the tartness to
come through, accentuated by fermentation with
Wyeast Lambic strains of yeast.
This unique beer is brewed with a process called hop
bursting, a technique that extracts flavor and aroma
from an all late-addition hopping schedule. By adding
large amounts of Cascade, Centennial and Pacific Jade
hops after the boil, they are able to retain essential
oils that would ordinarily be lost to the ether. Aged in
New American oak, the malt bill includes 2-Row,
Melanoiden, C-60 and Carafoam.
Hop Head Red has elevated hop levels to the point
where some might consider it a "Red IPA." Whether
true or not, it pleased the judges at the GABF (Bronze,
2009 and Silver, 2007) and World Beer Championships
(Gold, 2008). Columbus hops for bittering and Nugget
and Amarillos in the finish balance the velvety malt
flavor from 2-Row, caramel and Carafa malts.
Supergoose IPA takes the original Hales Mongoose IPA
a bit further - more hops (Centennial, lots of Amarillo,
Simcoe and Columbus), more malt (Pale, Crystal 40,
Crystal 60, Wheat and Munich) and higher extract.
Backed by its huge malt structure, the resulting
combination of flavors sets a benchmark for big craft-
brewed IPAs. California Ale Yeast does the heavy
lifting and allows for a deliciously lingering aftertaste
of malt and hops.

Organic Gambrinus Pilsner malt paired with Magnum
hops for bittering; a mix of Cascade, Centennial,
Palisade, Summit and Magnum late in the boil and dry-
hopping; plus a dose of Cascades in the whirlpool
make this light-colored but full-bodied and full-
flavored organic brew a crisp, enjoyable summer beer -
that packs a wallop. Guzzle carefully.
Say Aloha and hang out with this pretty blonde! Two-
Row pale malt and Briess Caramel 10L malt give this
beer its lightly suntanned appearance. Hops include
Alchemy at the beginning of the boil and Citra &
Galaxy for dry-hopping, providing a low hop footprint
that'll wash away with the next wave of goodness that
splashes across your palate.
A special beer for Oregon only. Conceived by Oregon
beer lovers, then brewed in Petaluma by Oregonians
with a recipe so secret, even the brewers don't know
it. They overcome the risk of brewing blindfolded by
hiring seeing-eye dogs to do all of the heavy lifting. In
other words, typical Lagunitas beer!
Van fans, gather round! This "out of category" Pils
boasts a special brewing technique - "the patented
Van Havig 80 WP residency." Organic 2-Row and
German Kiln Caramel malts provide a playground in
the wort for the full gamut of American aroma hops
to play, including Columbus, Cascade, Ahtanum,
Simcoe, Amarillo and Centennial.

Celebrating 25 outstanding years of the Oregon
Brewers Fest, Oakshire crafted a beer to celebrate the
bounty in our state. Made with 25 ingredients
including Oregon grown grains and hops, locally
sourced honey, herbs, toasted hazelnuts, cranberries
and more, 25 is a light to medium bodied amber ale
with bright citrus aromas, a nutty malt character, a
hint of fresh herbs and a clean, crisp finish.
Kellerbier, also known as Zwickelbier, is a unfiltered,
unpasteurized brew of German origin. Pilsen and
Carapils malt form the simple grist bill, while the wort
is moderately bittered with Tettnanger hops for a
slightly spicy flavor and aroma. The Budvar yeast
strain yields a malty nose with subtle fruit tones. The
yeast held in suspension makes it naturally cloudy -
and full of vitamins. Get your vitamin B here!
St. Lupulin, the patron saint of hopheads, devotes
endless summers to endless rows of hops, tending to
the flowers and the beloved resin within the hop
cone's lupulin. Extraordinary oils in this yellow resin
provide this dry-hopped extra pale ale with an
undeniably pleasing floral aroma and clean, crisp
finish. One sip of this seasonal summer ale and you,
too, will believe.700 pounds of Oregon organic sweet and tart cherries
in the secondary fermenter, on top of a five-grain malt
bill, weren't sufficient enough to make this beer stand
out for the Old Market brewers. They then aged much
of the brew in Pinot Noir oak barrels with even more
cherries - 900 pounds in all. Low hop levels let you
better taste the fruit and oaky, smoky notes.

Redhook added a half-ton of real fruit peach puree to
make a mere 35 barrels of this beer, which is being
debuted at the Festival. A four-step mash process on 2
Row, wheat, Munich and Cara-20 malts produced a
sweet wort, supplemented with dextrose and Candi
sugar in the boil. A gentle dose of Northern Brewer
and Saaz hops creates a light but slightly sweet beer
with low bitterness to accentuate the aroma and
flavor of the fruit.This unique beer gets its uncharacteristic-for-style red
color from its mix of Pils, Vienna and Carafa II malts.
One of the few single-hop beers at the festival, Mt.
Hood hops are added at 90, 80, 60, 40, 20 and 0
minutes prior to the end of the boil for a moderately
bittered and hop-flavored Cologne-style beer.
Eight different malts, including Great Western 2-Row,
Vienna, Crystal 60 and 150, Briess Midnight Wheat,
Black Prinz and Weyermann Carafa II, comprise this
incredibly complex grain bill, leading to an equally
complex beer, despite the simple hop bill of Perle &
Crystal. Big in body and dark malt flavor, the moderate
hop schedule lets all that malt complexity shine
throu h. Ro ue on!There are only three farms in the world that grow
Simcoe hops. This brew uses all three of them in
different parts of the boil to tell the "Story of Simcoe."
IdaPils, Maris Otter, Crystal 20 and Crystal 40 malts set
the stage for the story to be told, and California Ale
Yeast spins the fermentation part of the tale. Now
comes the big finish - in your mug.
This traditional bohemian pilsner is light, crisp, and
has a floral hop bouquet that balances the complex
malty taste of the all German Pilsner, Vienna and Cara
Pils malts. A unique blend of hops - Hercules, Sorachi
Ale and Hallertau Middle Frau - give it that delicate
bouquet and moderate bitterness. Lagering helps
keep it smooth.

Produced especially for the OBF, Beer Camp's golden
color and medium bodied sweetness comes from pale,
Europils, Munich and acidulated malts. Magnum,
Crystal and Pacifica hops provide a distinctly American
bittering and hop flavor profile without going over the
top. The result is a refreshing, balanced, crisp pilsner,
easy to drink on a hot summer festival day - or to take
with you to beer camp.
A perennial favorite at the OBF, Mai Bock is Sprecher's
spring
seasonal offering, a deceptively strong pale lager
that's big in alcohol and malt flavor, with rich hop
character and a light fruit bouquet. Caramel, pale and
wheat malts give it the big body and maltiness. Mt.
Hood, Tettnanger and Willamette hops spice up the
nose and provide just enough bitterness to balance.
Eight weeks of aging rounds out this beer's malty
smoothness.Rhymin' Simon would love this one. Parsley, sage,
rosemary and (lemon) thyme, all grown at Stone
Farms (Stone's own organic farm), make this beer
more than "fair." Its grist of pale ale malt, Pilsner malt,
wheat malt and flaked rye produces a hearty golden
wort, hopped with Centennial for bittering, Amarillo
for flavor, and dry hopped with Citra. A
Bel ian/French Saison east adds extra s iciness.Pils and Melanoidin malts are teamed up with the
uncommon Abbey malt in a step-infusion mash in low
pH water, then supplemented with Belgian candi
sugar for a drier finish. German noble hops (Saaz and
Tettnanger) add moderate bitterness and
characteristic floral spiciness to accentuate the malt-
forward balance of this beer. Don't drive after two of
these.

Brewed in collaboration with Double Mountain
Brewery from Hood River, the Wallowa Mountain
water extracts its malty sweetness (and yeast food)
from Belgian Biscuit, Maris Otter and high-color U.S.
pale 2-Row malts. Chinook, Styrian Goldings and
experimental HBC342 hops are added into the boil,
with the Goldings and HBC342s also added in the
fermenter for an extra snappy hop flavor.
Bold and refreshing, this IPA combines an abundance
of hops with a smooth malt profile. Pale 2-Row, Dark
Munich and Crystal 40 malts provide the big
fermentable base and light amber/copper color. Five
different hops - Galaxy, Chinook, Bravo, Cascade and
Apollo - cough up a whopping 80 IBUs for a decidedly
hop-forward flavor and aroma profile.
This rich, dark malt-forward beer gets its deep color
and malty flavors from pale, medium caramel, Vienna
and chocolate malts. Moderately hopped with
German spalt hops, its soft hop palate gets a flavor
boost from a careful treatment of minerals added to
Portland's soft Bull Run water to give it a more
authentic old-world mouthfeel.
100% Key Lime juice gives this unusual beer its unique
sweet citrus taste. This medium-strength beer was
brewed from Gambrinus 2-Row pale, Rahr wheat,
Crystal 10 and Cara Foam malts with flaked barley in
the grist. Noble Czech Saaz hops bitter the wort, with
Mt. Hoods added at 15 and 30 minutes before
knockout for flavor and aroma.Prepare for a white-out! This easy drinking white ale is
6% alcohol by volume and subtlety seasoned with
orange peel and coriander. Orange peel, orange
granules, coriander and grains of paradise help season
the lightly-hopped beer (Mt. Hoods), while the Belgian
yeast imparts a slightly phenolic taste and leaves some
residual sweetness from the wort of pale, red wheat
and pilsner malts as well as flaked barley.

malt, flaked barley and Carapils generate the golden
wort, hopped with Alchemy and Mt. Hood hops. You
might suspect other forms of alchemy are at work
here as well, turning malt and spices into this golden
ale!
