Oregon Hophouse: Hawthorne and 15th Avenue

Breakside Wanderlust is top Oregon IPA

By ohophouse, on February 1st, 2018

Thank you for all taking the IPA Challenge, and voting for the top Oregon IPA for 2018 in our massive blind taste test that ran all month in January.

Breakside Wanderlust finished first, and so will be on tap all year at both pubs. Congratulations to them for this, as well as the many recent beer awards. Clearly they make great beers, and Portlanders love them. And they’ve got some pretty great people who work for them. If you’ve been at the Hophouse for a long time, you’ll know that their Breakside flagship IPA finished first twice in the two previous years (before that Pallet Jack and RPM twice). Flat Tail’s Pulp Action was an extremely close second, so kudos to them as well.

We expect to have more news on Breakside’s win moving forward, in terms of an event, awarding prizes, etc., but at this minute we just wanted to let y’all know the winner.

And, if you wanted to know the tap line-up, look close at the photo. Tap 2 was Breakside, Tap 11 was Flat Tail. Odds are you voted for one of those two beers.

Oh and a shout out to Migration’s Straight Outta Portland, which finished in third place out of the twelve beers.

Oregon IPA Challenge

By ohophouse, on December 31st, 2017

If you’re in the pub and taking the IPA Challenge, make sure you have a unique code ready and click HERE.

If you’re not in the pub and want to take the Challenge, here is what is up…

We (and our customers) chose 12 top Oregon IPAs. We have a blind test, where you can come in and try to identify each beer and match to a list. Get six or more right and win prizes, like hoodies, shirts, growlers, gift cards, etc. And pick your favorite of the twelve (blind) and that beer will be our only permanent tap at both Hophouses for the entirety of 2018. Past winners include RPM, Vortex, Pallet Jack and Breakside. This is our seventh annual Challenge, and goes on the entire month of January 2018.

You’ll take the Challenge in the pub, get your results instantly, and either hide in shame or have bragging rights for years to come.
