NW Coffee Beer Invitational 2016

NW Coffee Beer 2016The Northwest’s two favorite brews are in the spotlight again for the 3rd NW Coffee Beer Invitational. Sixteen talented brewers were asked to create freshly-brewed beer made with locally-roasted coffee. With the emphasis on flavors, and an abv of 7% or less, this event promises to surprise us with both provocative and inspired combinations. Past styles have included IPA, Vienna Lager, Breakfast Stout, Baltic Porter and even a Berliner Weisse!

The cozy Goose Hollow Inn on SW Jefferson is the venue, so join us for not only great beers but a unique, convivial atmosphere. The menu will include some special savories to compliment the brews and we will have live music from The Austin Stewart Quartet and Logger’s Daughter in the outdoor heated tent.
