I'm a huge fan of Belmont Station. Their tap line up is consistently the most enjoyable in Portland.
Tonight they're doing a tasting of a huge variety of Rouge Beers.
Here are the details:

I wasn't going to read it when I first saw it on Tumblr. I didn't read it before approving it for Give Me Something To Read. But now I'm interested.

Sweet, I called Belmont Station and they said they have 30 bottles of the beer mentioned in this article (aged in a wood rarely used for beer). Going to pick some up later.
One of my favorite styles of beer is the humble stout, a style that seems to blink in an out of popularity. In the mid-80s, it was a cult beer, but attained prominence with the release of Obsidian. It was for some years the "extreme beer" on the scene, only to be supplanted in the new millennium by more glamorous extreme beers sporting the adjective "imperial." (Stouts, the ugly girl at the dance, kicking their toes in the corner, said, "but we were imperials first.")
But like women's shoulder pads and Duran Duran, what was out inevitably comes back in.

But like women's shoulder pads and Duran Duran, what was out inevitably comes back in.
...More later on the slate of upcoming fresh hop beer tastings, but I want to direct you to Belmont Station, which tonight puts five fresh hop ales on tap:

- Ninkasi (Mt. Hood hops)
- Double Mountain (Perle hops)
- Hales (hops unknown)
- Full Sail (Rainier or Cascade or Nugget - FS has three versions)
- BridgePort (Centennial hops)
'Tis the season for giving, and what beerhound wouldn't love to find a bottle of something nice in her stocking? Ah yes, but which beer? Never fear, your faithful blogger is here with an assist.
1. Something from the laboratory of Ron Gansberg at Cascade Brewing at the Raccoon Lodge.
It's possible that his beers will one day resemble a standard line of beers, but that day is in the distant future. To follow him around his brewery is to here a monologue of experimentation. When I was there this summer, he poured out a measure of golden elixir with the pedestrian title Apricot Ale ($15). It was a revelation and is on a very short list for my Satori Award for 2008. If it's not available, you might try his Kriek ($15) or, if he has any for sale, the Quadrupel ($$ ?).

Belmont Station (4500 SE Stark St) is one of my very favorite spots for beer in Portland. It's a great store and pub where the focus is on great tasting and unique beers. In a move that shows the absolute difference between being a beer connoisseur and beer snob Belmont Station is having a Michelob [...]

Tonight Kelly and I ran over to Belmont Station to pick up some beers. I was primarily going to pick up a bottle of Brugse Zot, and I also picked up a couple bottles of Paulaner Original Munich, and a Weihenstephan lager to try. While there, Kelly was browsing through the shelves of beer glasses [...]

Belmont Station is one of Portland greatest beer stores. As someone who used to live just four blocks away from it’s location next to the Horse Brass Pub on SE Belmont, I am loyal enough to say that I was willing to make the extra four-block walk to the store’s new location on SE 45th and Stark.
Ditching the street that was it’s namesake, Belmont Station opted for a larger space instead of a place on Belmont. The store with the greatest ...
from the Belmont Station feed...Forgive the delay on some of these, I was busy spending Christmas in the frozen beer-wasteland of Minnesota. Strangely, it was warmer there than it was in PDX for the first couple days, and they had less snow...
It wasn't a total bust; our hotel ended up being less than a mile from Blue Max, one of Minnnesota's premier bottle shops. I managed to squirrel away a few bottles and cans (mmm, Surly) in my checked luggage to share with people here.
Like another unexpected load of snow (or hail?!?), the new year starts off strong with some incredible new beers from here and abroad.

Last night one of our loyal customers was kind enough to drop by with a sample of the Brothers' latest creation, the new Drifter Pale Ale. It's hard to get excited about a simple pale ale, but I gotta say I thought the stuff was delicious. So good in fact that I forgot to take any notes while I was drinking and it was gone before I knew it. Oh well, I suppose we'll just have to wait until it comes out (in late January I'm told) and try it again.
In other news, we're open for business at the moment, but if you're planning on coming this evening I'd suggest calling us at 503.232.8538 before you head out.
Cheers!
Let's not forget about the other thick, robust, and chewy beers whose names aren't Abyss, Dark Lord, or Entire...there's a healthy divergency of other distinctly qu/affable brews to sate your esurience for grubbin' goodness during these snowy hyperborean times. These are sapid specialties to not overlook.
Trappiste Rochefort 10: Any monk-blessed brew is a keeper for certain, but the Rochefort 10 stands in a league of its own alongside the ranks of the rarefied and regal West Vleteren 12 and the saintly Bernardus apt brew. A deep, nutty, pitchy chestnut character topped by a lasting beige head certifies this recipe as a distinct worldly wonder. Earthy, smoky, yeast, and layered with candied effervescence, the Roch-10 is a means to treat ones self to the utmost wonderment in craft beer.

Even ice and snow can't keep the good beer from reaching us. Just be sure to drive carefully (or take Trimet) so you can get home safely with your new found treasures. Speaking of Trimet, we're 4 blocks north of the #15 (get off at 45th and Belmont) and 5 blocks south of the #20 (get off at 44rd and Burnside), so even if you don't feel like driving you should be able to reach us fairly easily. That said, here's a few new things to drool over while you're snowed in...
New American Beers:
The Bruery Partridge in a Pear Tree: Based on the text of the back label it appears that The Bruery is beginning a "12 Days of Christmas" series. The first verse is a Belgian-style quadrupel, which seems like a fitting choice for something that's designed to be held onto for 11 more years. As it stands now it's a little bit under-carbonated, but I'd guess that was an intentional choice to keep the beer from becoming over-carbonated at some point down the line.
