Pouring one out for @rogueales.bsky.social tonight, though I didn't have a Rogue beer on hand, so I opened a bottle of Monk's Brew from Mikkeller. Thoughts are with all of the employees impacted by the news today of Rogue's sudden closure across its Oregon locations.

Today is #NationalPumpkinDay, so what better way to celebrate than with a pumpkin beer? I’m enjoying a Topaz Farm Spiced Pumpkin Ale from @fortgeorgebeer.bsky.social, brewed with roasted pumpkins from Oregon’s @topazfarm.bsky.social and spiced with traditional pumpkin pie spices. Cheers! 🍻🎃

No Kings! Baerlic Brewing brewed up No Kings West Coast IPA, a pro-democracy India pale ale that drinks pretty damn good today, #nokings day where we've seen record numbers of people out to protest the regime. It's a good beer to help stand up to fascism. Cheers! 🍻

On Monday, we stopped in at B2 Taphouse on the way through Salem and I enjoyed my second #freshhop beer of the season, Killer Red from Double Mountain Brewery. This India Red Ale is infused with fresh Centennial hops fresh off the bine and it's lush with pine and orange notes. Cheers! 🍻

You never know where you'll stumble across great #CraftBeer! This is a glass of 120 Minute IPA from Dogfish Head Brewing, on tap at the Beachcomber Pub in Florence on the Oregon Coast. The whole taplist here is good—they also have Mother of All Storms from Pelican Brewing!

It's #NationalBeerDay today, commemorating the beginning of the end of Prohibition in the U.S. in 1933. I'm celebrating with a bottle of Clusterf#ck IPA from Double Mountain Brewery, a single hop IPA from the brewery's From the Vault series. Cheers! 🍻

I haven't posted much lately, so here's a beer I enjoyed recently: We Love LA, a West Coast style pilsner, brewed by Sunriver Brewing as a wildfire relief beer. 100% of the proceeds from the beer are benefitting the Los Angeles communities affected by the devastating wildfires earlier this year.

I hope everyone remembered to set their clocks ahead and is enjoying that "extra" hour of daylight today! Even if not, this Spring Forward #cider from 2 Towns Ciderhouse is the beverage of the day. It includes strawberry and cherry to sweeten it with luscious, bright flavor and aroma. Cheers!

Enjoying a Barley Brown's Sled Wreck Winter Ale and a Tieton Cider Works North Ranch Berry cider at Ponch's Place, a relatively newish taphouse and food cart lot in #BendOregon. It's another nice option for good beer and casual vibes, definitely worth checking out!

With 2 days left in the Wine #AdventCalendar, Red Wine is the selection for today from Graham & Fisk canned wines. It's just a nice red blend that goes well with food. Cheers!

Winding down the Wine #AdventCalendar with only a few days left, and this Moscato with Bubbles is one of my favorites from Graham & Fisk. It's worth seeking out. Cheers!

Cab Sauv is the featured canned wine from the Graham & Fisk Wine #AdventCalendar for today, the winter solstice. Still just a nice red, with rich and jammy notes.

More bubbles! In this case, White Wine with Bubbles, the latest in the Wine #AdventCalendar from Graham & Fisk. I think the wine looks pretty good with our light-up Christmas cottage display. Cheers!

White Wine from Graham & Fisk is a blend of unoaked Chardonnay and Viognier, and is today’s featured selection from the company’s Wine Advent Calendar. Crisp and nicely drinkable with a nice pop. Cheers!

Today’s wine is one we haven’t seen since starting the Graham & Fisk Wine #AdventCalendar — Red Wine. It’s a blend of Merlot and Zinfandel with rich and fruity character; if you like easy drinking reds, this is a nice one to have on hand. Cheers!

Two in a row! For this 15th of December (only 10 days until Christmas!) the Graham & Fisk Wine #AdventCalendar selection is Rosé Wine with Bubbles, which we also had yesterday. Still quite tasty!

We enjoyed another Rosé Wine with Bubbles in today’s Graham & Fisk Wine #AdventCalendar, a blend of Zinfandel and unoaked Chardonnay offering up light berry notes. It’s one that would be easy to drink any time of the day. Cheers!
