Portland Ale: a Tribute to Timber Jim

Portland Ale, a special beer created by Cascade Brewing to honor Timber Jim, will be bottled today, March 4 2011.

The beer is a pale ale, weighing in at 5% ABV and 26 IBUs.

Combining German Pilsner and Noble aromatic hops makes this light bodied, straw colored ale a perfect choice for the Pitch. Here’s to Timber Jim and a Portland state of mind! Happy Inaugural Season!!!!

The Timbers have an exclusive beer marketing agreement with Widmer, so printing a copy of the 2011 MLS season schedule on the commemorative bottles was nixed. But Timber Jim worked with the 107 Independent Supporters Trust and Cascade Brewing, and the Historic Ale will soon be available.

Only 600 cases (12 22oz bottles per case) were produced, which go on sale at the Cascade Brewing Barrel House (939 SE Belmont) and The Raccoon Lodge (7424 SW Beaverton Hillsdale) on March 16, 2011 Monday, March 7, 2011. Cases will set you back $48, and individual bottles are $4.25. As Timber Jim is fond of saying, spread the love: $1.00 per case will be donated to Harper’s Playground in the name of the 107ist.
