O’Kanes Garage Series: Pole Ax Beer Tasting @ McMenamins
March 25, 2016 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
What is the Garage Series? Think about a throwback version of some of the more popular McMenamins beer selections from the last 30 years. Yes that’s right, 30 years of brewing has produced some pretty darn good beers and some very memorable stories. The Garage Series is a testament to those brewers and breweries that came before us in the grand design and paved a path that is worthy of some recognition.
This strong ale was first brewed as the Thompson brewery’s 1000th batch by CPR Brewer Chris during his first tour with McMenamins. You can still find this brew offered at Thompsons because the regulars demand it. Deep mahogany in color with rich malt flavors thrusting up into charging hops, this ale is as dangerous as the medieval weapon that it’s named after. Sip slowly or lose your head.
