Let’s face it: the last week of July always sneaks up on you. One day you’re just cracking open your first patio pint, and the next you’re halfway through the summer with a slight sunburn and three open growlers in your fridge.
But don’t panic. There’s still plenty of good sipping to do, and we’ve got the perfect lineup to close out the month strong. Whether you’re looking for a crisp refresher, a weekend growler fill, or just a new spot to chill out, your neighborhood taproom near me (that’s us) is ready to deliver.
Summer’s Not Over: Keep the Beers Light and the Vibes Lively
Before we start carving pumpkins and brewing porters, let’s talk about the styles you’ll want to catch before they rotate off the taps:
1. Wheat Beers & Hefeweizens
Banana-clove magic. Cloudy and soft. Absolutely crushable with a side of sunshine.
Perfect for: floating rivers, back porch brunches, or arguing about which lawn chair is the “good one.”
2. Fruit-Infused Ales
From raspberry wheat to blood orange pale ales, summer is peak season for brews with a fruity twist. They go great with spicy food, hot weather, and people who say, “I don’t usually drink beer.”
Perfect for: BBQ sides, patio snacks, and low-ABV marathons.
3. Kölsch & Blonde Ales
Easy-drinking, clean-finishing, and underappreciated. These are the beers you don’t think you love—until you sip them at just the right moment.
Perfect for: sunny day hikes, dog walks, or reading a book at your favorite dog-friendly taproom in Gresham.
Still Hot? Try a Slushie.
When the temps hit the high 90s (or let’s be real, the 80s and humid), our beer slushie machine becomes the unsung hero of the taproom. Ask what’s frozen this week—it might be a fruit sour, a juicy IPA, or even a cider blend.
We don’t mean to brag, but a slushie on our outdoor patio might just be your new summer tradition.
Music Still Playing, Beers Still Pouring
The vibes haven’t slowed down. If anything, they’ve picked up. You’ve still got one last chance to catch July’s live music lineup:
🎶 July 26 @ 6:00–9:00 PM
Live Music with Pushin’ Daisies – it’s the perfect cap to your summer Saturdays.
Plus, August is just around the corner, and we’re already planning fresh music nights, beer collabs, and new tap takeovers. (Pro tip: bookmark our Events Page or just ask your bartender what’s next.)
What’s Fresh This Week? Check the Tap List
If you haven’t refreshed our Tap List lately, now’s the time. We’re bringing in some stellar summer seasonals from Oregon breweries and beyond.
Highlights might include:
- Peach saisons
- Summer pale ales with bright citrus
- Low-ABV sippers with session IPA vibes
- Juicy IPAs that taste like mango in a hop suit
And don’t forget to scan our Beers We Carry list for even more ideas. If it pairs well with heat and laughter, you’ll probably find it here.
Grab It Now, Or It’s Gone
Summer brews don’t last forever. Many of the IPAs, sours, and seasonals you love will rotate out come late August—replaced by amber ales, Oktoberfests, and (yep) pumpkin stuff.
So take a look at your favorite beers of the month and grab:
- A growler for the cabin
- A crowler for the trail
- A few pints here on our patio
Let’s stretch summer out for as long as we can.
