August Special.

The Grown-Up Grilled Cheese!

Using our delicious, house-made bread, we melt Willamette Valley Cheese's Jack Cheese atop crispy strips of bacon. Then, we add our house-made pico de gallo sauce for this 'not your average grilled cheese' sandwich. Take the bacon off for a tasty vegetarian option! $6.50 - make it a basket with fries for a buck more.

And on tap, we have Southern Oregon Brewing's Gold Digger, fermented with a larger yeast, this crisp, lightly hopped beer finishes with a subtle citrus note.

We also have another FABULOUS brew from Gilgamesh! (If you haven't tried their beer yet, shame on you.) Right now we have their Pumphouse Copper, a light, crisp amber-style ale with mild citrus notes. It's hands down my favorite brew from them. $4 a glass / $8 a pitcher.

Tap List.

We now have Ninkasi Brewing’s Summer Radiant Ale! Crisp and flavorful, this smooth malt character is balanced by a elegant hop bitterness – a perfect summer beer. $4 a glass.

Tap List.

Replacing the Oakshire Amber (which was FANTASTIC, by the way - we can't wait to get it again!) is Fearless Brewing's Scottish Ale. This brew is a caramel, malty beer light on the hops with a slightly nutty component. $4 a glass - $8 a pitcher.

Annnnd rumor has it we have another Ninkasi coming up soon!

Tap List.

Well, the Mamba is long gone (don't worry - it WILL be back!)
In the mean time, we have a brew from Cascade Lakes Brewing Company - their Blonde Bombshell! Brewed to be a light bodied, refreshing ale, Bombshell combines subtle malt and wheat flavors with a slight hoppy aroma. Nothing says summer like a tasty blonde ale, am I right?

Replacing the Stumptown Porter, we have Oakshire Brewing's Amber Ale! Brewed using three different types of hops, this amber is smooth and flavorful.

$4 a glass - $8 for a pitcher (which is about 2 1/2 glasses.)

Tap List.

We've had Giglamesh Brewing's Mamba on tap for over a week - I've been seriously slacking! This is a hopless brew with a light, yet slightly sweet, spicy body. Brewed with black tea and a hint of tangerine zest and rye, the aromatic flavor will please beer and wine lovers alike. It's AMAZING. $4 a glass - better get in and try one soon, because its been selling like crazy!

Tap List.

Replacing the popular Irish Red from Salmon Creek Brewing's, we have Lucky Labrador's Stumptown Porter. Brewed using abundant caramel malts and a little roasted barley give this dark ale its sweet flavorful finish. Delish! $4 a glass.

Tap List.

The Pilsner from Seven Bride's didn't last long either!
Next up we have an old favorite, Ninkasi's Total Domination IPA. A true Northwest style IPA, with citrus notes, a floral and balanced flavor and crafted from regional ingredients. $4 a glass.

Tap List.

Gilgamesh Brewing's Hopscotch was a hit! It went by fast - look for another brew from there sometime in June.

Next up we have the Red Irish Ale from Salmon Creek Brewing! A true Irish Red, this brew is a bit sweet, with a lightly hoppy, dry finish. $4 a glass.

As always, if you have any suggestions, let us know!

Tap List.

Well, those kegs didn't last long! While we're sad to see Dead Guy and the Watershed go (mmmm, that Watershed IPA was delish.) we are SUPER excited for the next two beers on tap!

We could NOT BE HAPPIER that we finally have a fantastic brew from Gilgamesh Brewing on tap (guys - congrats on the back to back People's Choice wins!) This go round we have the Hopscotch Ale, a heavy Scottish Ale with a pleasantly dark, warm and malty body. An additional smattering of hops added during fermentation leaves a complementing floral aroma. Yummy!

Our other brew comes from our neighbors in Silverton, Seven Brides Brewing! Their Lil's Pils, a traditional bohemian pilsner, is light, crisp, and has a floral hoppiness that balances the complex malty taste of the all German barley.

Both brews are $4 a glass.

Do you have any suggestions for what we should have on tap next? Let us know!

Tap List.

To replace the Pin-Up Porter, we have Rogue Brewing's Dead Guy Ale! Made with Rogue's proprietary "PacMan" ale yeast, it is deep honey in color with a malty aroma, rich hearty flavor and a well balanced finish. $4 a glass.

We're going to try and get a brew from Gilgamesh Brewing for one of our taps - what do YOU think we should get?

Tap List.

Recommended to us by an AWESOME customer, next up on tap we have Oakshire Brewing's Watershed IPA! Their Northwest India Pale Ale highlights the flavors and aroma of our regions best hops woven through a rich malt profile. $4 a glass.

As always, if you have a beer you want to see on tap, let us know! Email me at sarah@willametteburger.com and we'll do everything we can to get in our restaurant.

Tap List.

Next up on tap, we have Southern Oregon Brewing's Pin-Up Porter (S.O.B. - clever, right?) We're lucky enough to even have a little back story on this tasty selection: the beer genius behind Deschutes Brewing's Black Butte Porter has since left Deschutes and joined the team at Southern Oregon Brewing to create this brew. We've had it once before, when they were just calling it the S.O.B. Porter - they've since given it a sassy name we love!

Tap List.

Replacing Ninkasi's ESB, we're bringing in their spring seasonal, Spring Reign! Notes of toasted malt up front, finished with a bright and refreshing Northwest hop aroma - perfect for the change in the season!

Sunday, March 14, 2010

Tap List

Replacing Lucky Labrador's Stumptown Porter, we brought back one of our favorite darks, 10 Barrel Brewing's Sinistor Black Ale! Brewed using a special German dehusked black malt that is free of astringency, giving the beer a rich black color without the traditional dark beer characteristics. Subtle hints of chocolate, a light body and smooth finish round out this tasty brew. Excited? We are.

Friday, March 5, 2010

Tap List.

Since we can't seem to not serve a Ninkasi, we've brought in their latest seasonal: ESB Renewale! This is our first ESB (Extra Special Bitter) we've had on tap here at WBC and we can't wait to give it a try! [[Unfortunately, it's so new that I can't find ANY sort of description for it online - but it's from Ninkasi, so how bad could it be?]]

It's on tap now, but I'm sure it's going to go fast!

Hop Henge IPA


We have a new 22 ouncer in our midst - Deschutes Brewery's Hop Henge Experimental India Pale Ale! Brewed with Centennial and Cascade Hops and a blend of crystal, pale and carastan malts gives this IPA a dense, hoppy finish. A case was delivered yesterday and we've already sold 5 of them - crazy!

We finally have a hefeweizen!

ETA: Lucky Labrador's Stumptown Porter is finally on tap - brewed using abundant caramel malts and a little roasted barley give this dark ale its sweet flavorful finish. Delish!

Coming from our neighbors up north at Leavenworth Biers, the Whistling Pig Hefeweizen is a fruity, refreshing unfiltered wheat bier. It's classically cloudy appearance is characteristic of some of the best German hefeweizens. We're glad to finally have a hefeweizen on our beer list!

Tap List.

Our AWESOME server Dustin never disappoints with his beer selection - this time is no different!

To replace Rogue Brewing's Chocolate Stout, we have Lucky Labrador's Stumptown Porter. Brewed using abundant caramel malts and a little roasted barley give this dark ale its sweet flavorful finish. Delish!

And to replace Ninkasi's Total Domination, we have another Ninkasi creation (can you tell we love Ninkasi here?) Their Believer Double Red is a rich deep red with roasted malt and caramel notes, balanced by plentiful hops. The Believer encompasses everything that is great about Northwest beer - the Total Domination didn't last long, so this one is already on tap!

If you ever have any beer suggestions, please let us know! Email me at info@willametteburger.com. We'll do everything in our power to make your suggestions happen!

Tap List.

Following Southern Oregon Brewing's Woodshed Red (which went surprisingly fast!) we are bringing in Rogue Brewing's Chocolate Stout! This brew's mellow flavor of oats, chocolate malts and real chocolate are balanced perfectly with the right amount of hops for a bitter-sweet finish. It pairs great with beef and desserts (which is right up our alley!)

The C-Note has stuck around much longer this time, but we're getting close to bringing on Ninkasi Brewing's Total Domination, a true Northwest style IPA, with citrus notes, a floral and balanced flavor and crafted from regional ingredients.

And as always...please let us know if you have any suggestions! We are always looking for recommendations on what to bring in next.

Peace, love and BEER -- Sarah

Next Up.


Replacing the always popular Lompoc C-Note, we have another brew from Ninkasi! Total Domination is a true Northwest style IPA, with citrus notes, a floral and balanced flavor and crafted from regional ingredients.


Replacing the deliciously dark Sinister Black, we have Southern Oregon Brewing's Woodshed Red. A deep mahogany color, this beer has a toasty aroma with a slight toffee scent. Brewed with a nutty caramel flavor and some floral overtones, this beer has a smooth and full finish.

As of right now, we still have the Sinistor and C-Note on tap, but come and get a pint soon - they are going fast!

Peace, love and BEER -- Sarah
