Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery is catching up with lost time, celebrating their thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, & sixteenth annversaries at the same time. The Hood River and Portland, OR based brewery/pub and cidery was one of the first places in the beer biz to start shutting down and pre-emptively canceling their 13th anniversary in March 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic had even really hit the west coast. That foresight has kept the brewery strong, and they have stayed resilient and held back on celebrating now for the past three years.

After an extremely long three year hiatus, Double Mountain is ecstatic to announce that their previously annual Anniversary block party is returning on March 18th starting at 11:30am! Prior to the pandemic the Double Mountain anniversary was a thing of lore, with a stellar lineup of bands hosted along 4th street in front of the brewery with multiple bars open that drew beer fans to the area to party. This year they promise more of the same with a 100ft. tent and lots of beer.

Four bars, including the Pool Service Van, and the beloved Brewer’s Lounge, will be serving up over twenty five different Double Mountain beers and ciders. Souvenir mugs will be filled with half and full pours, creating a variety of drinking options. Additionally, pizza by-the-slice will be available for quick eats. $5 admission for adults until 5pm, and $10 after 5pm will include a souvenir mug. Kids are welcome with a parent/guardian until 8pm.

LIVE MUSIC:

Headlining the lineup of live music is Never Come Down, culminating with their amazing bluegrass music. They will be supported by a strong roster of local and touring acts including Glitterfox, Jujuba, Los Guys (featuring Double Mountain’s lead brewer Matt Coughlin), and opening with Muddy Souls.

THE MUDDY SOULS

The Muddy Souls are a leading progressive jamgrass band featuring original songs, virtuosic improvisation, tight vocal harmonies, and a high-octane groove that gets the dance floor bouncing.

LOS GUYS

Los Guys is a bar band of brothers that bring the party, playing rock and country classics with taste and talent. Additionally, the band features our very own lead brewer, Matt Coughlin-PARTY ON!

JUJUBA

Jujuba delivers a funky, danceable style of Nigerian Afrobeat and Juju music. The strength of the 10-piece revolves around its energetic cohesion between percussion, rhythm and horn sections.

GLITTERFOX

Portland, OR-based band, Glitterfox, has been making headlines and turning heads across Oregon. Since being named one of Portland’s “Best New Bands” in 2022 by the Willamette Week and coming away from OCF 2022 as one of the most talked about breakout acts, Glitterfox has worked relentlessly to electrify their live show while honing in on the inimitable vibe that is Glitterfox song craft.

NEVER COME DOWN

Weaving together modern and traditional style of americana, Never Come Down is a Portland, Oregon based 5-piece composed of Joe Suskind, Crystal Lariza, Brian Alley, Kaden Hurst, and Ben Ticknor. Their dedication to thoughtful songwriting and dynamic arrangements highlight polished technical skills and a commitment to listening to each other.

Get pumped, get amped, and get jazzed...Double Mountain will be celebrating 4 years worth of anniversaries in one, so you know it’s going to be good!
