Beer Luvvas,
Life has gotten out of control, so I have no time to translate my notes from Saturday Night's Ninkasi Brewer's Dinner at Bethany's Table. So pardon the lack of any grammar from my notes below...
Ninkasi autumn wheat 6.9 percent. Dark wheat noble hops 50 ibus. Mixed greens pears radishes spice walnuts cinnamon and cayenne.
Head brewer: Jamie. Former steelhead brewer first gold hopasaurus rex. Has a tattoo of catholic symbol but with hops. President of oregon brewers guild.
Tricerahops with sweet potato cocoa chili new Mexico chimayo red chills. Double ipa. 8.8 100 ibus. Balanced. Hops will pull oils off your tongue. Good pairing with spicy food. The soup makes the beer better and the beer makes the soup better.
Ninkasi Sumerian goddess of fermentation. Law for execution for charging too much for beer. Hops from Willamette and Yakima valley. Malt from Vancouver. Water from McKenzie river.
Believer with pork belly locally raised brine for 3 days and cooked overnight in chicken stock and Italian corona bean. Those are big ass beans. I actually think the Believer overpowers the pork belly a bit and did all 4 of my dinner partners. First winter seasonal NW strong style. Inspired by 1990 jubilale - take it seriously. Made year round red ale or amber is 30 styles 6.9 60 ibus very dark w/chocolate and caramel.
Sleigh'r 09 with rib eye bacon molasses butter and roasted root vegetables. The sweetness of the bacon molasses butter and the sweetness of the sleigh'r is an unbelievable combination of goodness. Winter seasonal brewed as German alt w/ale yeast but fermented @ lower temps. 58 degrees. 50 ibus dark malt but 7 percent alcohol. Released as bottles on 11/12 thru 1/1/10.
Soft opening of Eugene tasting room. Opens on Monday.
Oatis ice cream! Seriously oatis stout used ti make the ice cream! Chocolate fudge brownie with a cherry sauce. Too good. Too too good. Wow! There is heat in the chocolate!
Prost to Ninkasi and Bethany's Table!
