Sign Up for the Chopperz BIERFEST Coming 11/15

shapes.jpg

Want to be a beer critic?
We will be sampling 10 different beers.  40oz of frosty goodness.  Your vote decides which beers Chopperz will carry.

Want to try some of Oregon’s smaller but tasty brews?
Laurelwood, Cascade Lakes, Hair of the Dog, Pelican, Ninkasi, and some other surprise breweries will be poured.

Want to eat bratwurst cooked in beer and grilled?
Stupid question.  Of course you do.

Join your friends at Chopperz in our 2nd annual celebration of all that is good about beer.  We have sampled dozens and dozens of Oregon’s microbrews (yeah, we love our job) to narrow down to 10 of the finest hop and yeast mixtures.  Most of the canidates are from smaller and lesser known breweries, so here is your chance to break free from the Bridgeport and Widmer duopoly.

The event is free for Chopperz VIPs.  Otherwise, tickets are $10, which covers 40 oz of frosty goodness, beer brats, and some suprise stuff (Dupree in a bikini is NOT one of them). 

You can save some cash if you book online before 11/14(tickets just $6).  I know what you’re saying “$6 for a forty and some sausage that is an amazing deal”, but wait…if you bring a friend who hasn’t been to Chopperz you can save even more.  Use your credit card through our secure account below to book now.  Click continue on the bottom of next page to bypass the Paypal sign up.

What Chopperz is Drinking– Deschutes Cinder Cone

 cinder-cone.jpg After Beertown’s out of nowhere finish in the Chopperz Top 3, the standings are as follows:
1. Bridgeport Beertown
2. Full Sail Sessions
3. Rogue Dead Guy Ale
The top 3 defiantly shows my preference for brews that do not overload the taste buds with hops.  I love the flavor of beer, but I am starting to think that breweries in the NW retaliate against the macro-Bud crowd by just dumping more hops into the mix.  Hops is definitely important, but there are other flavors.  With that, I present
Deschutes Cinder Cone Red Ale
Out of the keg, it pours a reddish amber with a soft white head.  Not much of a nose, just a hint of citrus sweetness.  The flavor was a light smoky roasted barley and toffee flavor with just a very mild hops finish.  The aftertaste of the hops bitterness is not overbearing, just enough to remind you of how good the flavor was. 
Another very easy drinking beer.  Easy on the carbonation and not very filling.  You can enjoy a 6 pack with some buddies and not feel bloated.
