There’s nothing quite like the combination of live music and a cold pint. At The Hoppy Brewer, we take pride in being Gresham’s go-to spot for both. All month long, our taproom has been buzzing with energy—musicians bringing their sound, brewers sharing seasonal flavors, and neighbors gathering together. As October winds down, it’s the perfect time to look back at everything that made this month one to remember.
Of course, the music goes hand-in-hand with our rotating beer tap list, an impressive bottled and canned beer list, our ever-changing cider list, and a handpicked wine list. Pairing your favorite beverage with live tunes? That’s the Hoppy Brewer way.
(Dad joke to kick things off: Why don’t guitarists like beer mugs? Because they always get into “pitcher” perfect battles.)
Highlights from October’s Lineup
This month, we welcomed an incredible roster of performers and events:
- Friday, October 3 | Kenny Lavitz — Smooth guitar work and a soulful vibe that set the tone for fall.
- Saturday, October 11 | Law of Seven Band — High-energy jams that had the taproom on its feet.
- Thursday, October 16 | Beer Event with Crux Brewing — Seasonal beer releases that paired perfectly with crisp October evenings.
- Thursday, October 16 | Fast Eddie — A night of classics and crowd favorites, fueled by plenty of pints.
October proved once again that our patio and taproom are just as much about the music as they are about the drinks.
Drinks That Made the Music Better
Music and beer are natural partners, and this month’s lineup gave us plenty of perfect matches:
- Fresh Hop IPAs with upbeat live sets—bright, bold, and refreshing.
- Pumpkin Ales to pair with festive nights.
- Spiced Ciders from the cider list for cozy, easy sipping during acoustic sets.
- Dark Ales and Porters to balance smooth guitar solos and moody fall evenings.
- Bold Reds from the wine list—because some nights call for a little elegance with your music.
And for those who wanted to take the experience home, our bottled and canned beer list offered plenty of ways to keep the soundtrack going in your own space.
Why The Hoppy Brewer Is Gresham’s Music Spot
It’s simple: craft beverages taste better when they’re paired with community and sound. Our patio is designed for gathering, our taproom is built for connection, and our events bring people together week after week. From seasonal beer releases to unforgettable music nights, October showed once again why The Hoppy Brewer is more than a taproom—it’s a hub for Gresham’s culture.
Looking Ahead
Just because October is wrapping up doesn’t mean the music and good drinks stop here. Every month brings new performers, fresh taps, and reasons to gather. Whether you’re here for the latest seasonal release or to catch your favorite local band, you’ll always find something happening at The Hoppy Brewer.
