Snakebites Being Poured

Legless Lizard by Sasquatch Brewery / New West Cider
A special blend of house sours, our Pure Guava Gose and Wild Boysenberry Pinot barrel-aged sour cider; blend to make a super tart, super juicy Snakebite for the ages. 5.50%

Ivan the Berryble by Santiam Brewing / Anthem Cider
A blend of 30% Santiam Brewing Impersky Russian Imperial Stout, 100% aged in bourbon barrels for eight months, and 70% Anthem Blackberry Pear Cider.  Bourbon nose, slight roast, smooth blackberry, pear and apple finish. 5.90%

Black Shore by Finnriver Farm & Cider / Ground Breaker Brewing  A complex, immensely drinkable blend of Finnriver’s Farm & Cidery’s botanical Lavender Black Currant Cider and Ground Breaker Brewing’s Paddy Porter. Bright, organic crisp WA apple gains color and character with additions of tart, black currant and herbaceous local lavender. Roasted chestnuts, roasted lentils, cacao nibs, and dark roasted rice malt from Eckert Malting & Brewing round out this blend with depth and a delightful mouth feel. The Black Shore, where the river meets the ground is 100% gluten free. 6%

Space Grenade by Ecliptic Brewing / Square Mile Cider Co.       
Ecliptic Brewing and Square Mile Cider Co. teamed up to blend Ecliptic’s flavor packed citrusy, fruity, and piney Starburst IPA with a semi-dry apple cider with pomegranate and vanilla added from Square Mile. The result is Space Grenade – the only snakebite needed for exploring the galaxy, or a Saturday afternoon in Portland. 7.00%

Belgian Fields Forever by McMenamins Edgefield Brewery / McMenamins Edgefield Cider
Belgian flavors of bubble gum and clove from our Rooster Rock Dubbel precede a light strawberry sweetness and soft herbal notes from Edgefield Cider’s Strawberry Spring Fling. A light effervescence leads to a crisp, dry finish.   6.69%

Pineapple Pursuit by Portland Cider Company  / The Widmer Brothers Brewery
The pursuit to fruit forward happiness starts with our blend of Portland Cider Co. Pineapple Cider and Widmer Brothers Fruitless Pursuit IPA. A classic IPA finish with lots of fruitiness fun to undermine the efforts of Widmer’s brewers to not use fruit in a fruit forward IPA. 6.2%

Limey Lager by Portland Cider Company / Widmer Brothers Brewery Two traditions in one glass – Helles Lager and a Moscow Mule with Portland Cider Co.’s Ginger Limey Cider. Refreshing, bright + citrusy, with an added layer of complexity from the barrel – aging process of Widmer’s Holz Helles. 6%

Battle of the Bogside by Cider Riot! / Kells
A classic take on an Irish Black Velvet snakebite, Battle of the Bogside is a blend of Kells Dry Irish Stout and Cider Riot! Burncider Dry Draught Cider, roastiness from the stout blends nicely with the toffee and fruit notes from the traditional cider apples used in the Burncider. 5%

Cuppa Maple Joe’d Brit (Nitro) by Shattered Oak Brewing / 12 Bridge Ciderworks 
Pours a hazy gold with aromas of Mt. Hood Roasters beans and toasted biscuits, drizzled with maple syrup and honey. Smooth mouth feel and a delightful mapley malt flavor. Finishes clean and crisp leaving you ready for the next pint! Cheers mate! 6%

Dank & Fly by Wild Ride Brewing / Swift Cider 
A blend of Electri-Fly IPA & Pineapple Hop Cider provides a juicy tropical aroma that transitions well to notes of citrus in the flavor. This stems from a variety of hops, including southern hemisphere hops, used in the brews. 6.50%

Surf & Sour by 2 Towns Ciderhouse / Flat Tail Brewing
A collaboration between two Corvallis icons, Surf & Sour blends Flattail Brewing’s 2017 GABF Gold Medal winning Lemon Verbena & Hops Dam Wild Sour with 2 Towns Ciderhouse’s summer hit, Pacific Pineapple made with 100% Costa Rican Golden Pineapples. Extremely complex and tangy, with just the perfect amount of sweetness. 6%

Piña Chillada by Hopworks Urban Brewery / HUB Cider
You put the Totally Chill in the Pineapple Cider, and you drink them both up. This tropical and refreshing cider mixes perfectly with our seasonal Hazy IPA. Sit back, drink up and enjoy this easy drinking Snakebite 5.60%
