One of the Portland places that I miss because I am in Los Angeles is Hedge House, part of the mini-empire of the Lompoc Brewing maestros. Partially because of their awesome line-up of Holiday beers.
Where most breweries have one or two Christmas ales, Lompoc goes out and includes Hanukkah in the mix too…
“Portland’s first Hannukah seasonal, 8 Malty Nights is a Chocolate Rye that features a roasted chocolate flavor and a sweet finish. It is dark brown in color and lightly hopped with English style hops (6.5% ABV). Bourbon Barrel Aged 8 Malty Nights was brewed for Hannukah 2009 and aged in bourbon barrels for nine months. It features a roasted chocolate flavor with hints of bourbon and oak (6.5% ABV).”
