Thank goodness it’s Friday, and it’s time to wind down after a long week with some damn tasty beers and snacks. That’s right, the gang from Deschutes Brewery will be around to chat about our hand crafted brews like hard-to-find Hop Henge Experimental IPA and Chainbreaker White IPA. Of course you will want to try these brews along side The Village Idiot's delicious snacks like their risotto balls.

We will be visiting the Fairfax Whole Foods Thursday evening to talk with fellow craft beer fans and provide samples of our award winning beers. Our digital marketing manager will also guide you through a sampling of The Stoic, a limited release barrel-aged Belgian-styled ale. Cheers!

Attention homebrewers…come hone your craft with the gang from Oregon’s Deschutes Brewery, including brewer Robin Johnson. Specialty beer tastings of rarities like Black Butte XXII, The Abyss and The Stoic paired with some tasty appetizers will whet your palate. And that’s not all…five more Deschutes beers will be on tap including Obsidian Stout on Nitro and Chainbreaker White IPA. Robin will also be leading a deconstruction of the never-released Black Butte XXII, providing tastings of some of the specialty ingredients.

Join us as we kick off five whole days of celebratory beer drinking otherwise known as Base Camp Week. The Deschutes Brewery team will be whooping it up this evening pairing favorite brews such as Mirror Pond Pale Ale, Black Butte Porter, Chainbreaker White IPA, Hop Henge Experimental IPA, and even The Abyss with some hand-crafted, specially selected appetizers.

Did you know that Wednesday is associated with the messenger of the gods, Mercury, in ancient Roman culture? Well, we don’t know much about antiquity, but we’re ready to celebrate Wednesday by pairing up some artisan cheeses with Black Butte XXIII, The Abyss and The Stoic. In attendance to chat about the intricate and lengthy techniques for creating these beers is one of our very own brewers, Robin Johnson. We’re not promising any winged sandals, but we can promise some great beer, great company and the perfect way to spend your “dies Mercurii” in the City of Angels.
