Field Trip!

On Tuesday, Nov 11th, class was in session. Tyler (head server), Spence (madman in the kitchen), Dave (bottle shop lead) and I (the short one) headed down 84 towards a distant view of Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams. We were on our way to Hood River to one of our favorite Oregon breweries which captures the scenic drive in its name...Double Mountain. We also were yearning for some tasty pizza.

Matt, the brewer, and his sidekick Charlie, couldn't have been more hosipitable.
We received a very engaging tour of the brewery and then feasted on pizza. And don't forget the beer....

Interesting facts about Double Mountain:
- Many of Double Mtn's ales are made with a Rochefort yeast!
- Most of their equipment came from fellow breweriers (Full Sail and Bridgeport to name a few).
- Matt and Charlie deck out the brewery with a pretty rockin' breweriana collection.
- They use 90% organic grain. How many breweries go organic and don't tell anyone?? The beer sells itself, no marketing hype here...
-These guys are genuinly nice people that are obviously passionate about their beer.

If you're in the mood for a great view - check out an imperial pint at Double Moutain's Tap Room. Its super cozy and inviting (LOVE the amber lighting..)

Thanks to Charlie, Matt and the staff for such a nice trip!
Look for Double Mountains Fa La La La Winter Seasonal on draft at Saraveza in early December!
