In our popular 5L kegs, I’ve added a classic Dopplebock from Bayern Brewing in Missoula, Montana. Very dark amber color. Roasted malts in the mouth, no hints of sweetness, but with nice creaminess and toasty notes on the finish. $18.99/5L.

Anderson Valley Hop Ottin IPA is a hoppy masterpiece from Boonville, California. High Alpha hops stirred during fermentation, then whole-cone dry hopped for intense citrus and pine needle flavors and aromas with bite. On sale at $2.89/22oz. btl.

This weekend marks the 13th Annual Legendary Boonville Beer Fest in Boonville(natch), a few hours drive south of Eureka on Hwy. 253. Lots of good grog and company.

And don’t miss the 3rd Annual Brewer’s Memorial Ale Fest, hosted by Rogue Ales, May 15-17 at the brewery on Newport’s south bay waterfront – more than 50 breweries, live music, local seafood and dog-inspired entertainment.
