Meet the Class of 2022
This Thursday, June 23rd the New School presents our annual New Brewery & Cidery Showcase in Portland, OR at Imperial Bottle Shop & Taproom and today we can reveal the final taplist from the best and brightest new Oregon brands of 2022.
19 beers and ciders will be on draft from 8 breweries and 1 cidery from open to close at Imperial with the official event running 4-9pm. ALL the breweries and cidery will be there IN-PERSON to meet-and-greet, give away prizes, sell schwag, talk about their liquids from 5-8pm. Perhaps best of all is that this event has no cover charge or tickets, it’s just walk-up and order a glass, taster, pint or Imperial Pint and enjoy it either indoors or on the extend street party setup off of SE Division that the bottle shop/taproom has setup.
For more information on who the breweries and cidery is, please read our primer story here.

Arae - Wild Saison with Peach, Lemon & Raspberry Leaf - Fermented with our house wild yeast and conditioned on peaches, lemons and raspberry leafs sourced from Central Oregon Locavore farmers market. The raspberry leaf adds a cute little tannic note to the base with delicate whisps of fresh peach and lemon peel on the finish. Crispy, refreshing and wild with just a touch of acidity; just how we like em. 4.3% ABV, 31 IBU
Chelonia / Wild Gose with Apricot, Grapefruit & Red Sea Salt - We took a bit of inspiration from the traditional Leipzig Gose and brewed this beer with heaps of raw wheat from Mecca Grade and fermented it with our house wild yeast. We then refermented it on top of Apricot and Grapefruit zest with a final addition of Hawaiian Alaea Red Sea Salt just before packaging. Notes of ripe tropical fruit with slight acidity and just a tinge of saltiness on the finish. 4.3% ABV, 13 IBU
Helles - Van Henion Helles Lager is a medium- bodied, classic German- style beer with a striking golden color and heady pour. Brewed with German hops, premium German Malt and yeast. This style of lager has become a staple among brewers for its drinkability and bright tasting notes. After all, “helles” translates to light, in German. 18 IBU 5.0% ABV
Brother Van's IPA - Classic take on a west coast IPA. Light orange in color, bright and light bodied. This IPA has aromatics that are tropical and citrusy due to the generous dry hop of Citra, Simcoe, Sabro and HBC-586 hops. Brother Van's IPA is an easy drinker, with a bitterness that balances its ABV. It was brewed in collaboration with Brother Jon's Public House in Bend Oregon. 50 IBU 5.7% ABV

Breakfast Club Fruited Sour Ale - A brunchy twist on the classic Gose. Brewed with Himalayan pink salt and Indian coriander, then punched up with fresh-squeezed orange juice. All the fun of a morning Mimosa, but light and refreshing enough to get away with drinking all day! (ABV 4.5%)
Act Like Ya Know Hazy IPA - Vice Beer x Fortside Brewing collab! Absolutely and irresponsibly loaded with lupulinity. Mash hops? You already know.Whirlpool? We gotchu bro.
