The lingering morning clouds and slightly cooler temperature today (high of 72!) might put you in the mood for an un-summery beer. But it’s July; unless you have a personal beer cellar, where will you find a wintry ale in the middle of summer?

You’re in luck.

Lucky Lab on Hawthorne is serving up winter ales this month.

And today New Old Lompoc (1616 NW 23rd Ave) is celebrating Festivus in July!

Festivus Celebration with Portland Brewers and an Aluminum Festivus Pole. A spin off of the classic Seinfeld Holiday episode focusing on the brewing industry. The airing of the grievances and the Feats of Strength will be the focal point while sipping traditional Christmas ales.

(Both of these events were brought to my attention by On Tap, the blog of the Oregon Brewers Guild. Support Oregon Brewers!)
