New Beers

drink this!

We’re right on the cusp of release of winter seasonals. True, we haven’t gotten through all of the heavily-spiced pumpkin porters out there yet, but if you’re getting a little full of those, and are looking for a nice winter ale, come to the Hophouse.

Oakshire, out of Eugene, just released their infamous Ill-Tempered Gnome, which is a nice lightly spiced winter ale, not a huge ABV and extremely drinkable. Not hard core like many of the strong ales out there. Had some at our birthday party, and that’s a seasonal I could drink all night!
