Fresh hop season is coming to the OC, and by the OC we mean Oregon City's Coin Toss Brewing. From October 1-6th Coin Toss will host the ​“OC Fresh Hop Showcase”​ ​with six different beers by Oregon City’s five breweries. Flights, pints and some 32oz crowlers will be available.

“As brewers, this is absolutely our favorite time of the beer year,” said Tim Hohl, Founder of Coin Toss Brewing. “There is so much delicious local beer happening in Oregon City, we thought this would be a perfect opportunity to show off what our hometown breweries can create with this once-a-year style.”

About Coin Toss Brewing ​Coin Toss Brewing offers a variety of signature brews available by the pint, crowler, growler, or keg. The company is committed to crafting the finest beers in honor of Beervana's illustrious history. The Coin Toss moniker is a nod to the fateful event that determined the city of Portland's name. Although pioneer Asa Lovejoy (from Boston, Mass.) may have lost the historic coin toss to Francis Pettygrove (of Portland, Maine), the brewery would like to reach back through the years and tell him: Heads or Tails? It's Beer, YOU win! For more information, visit CoinTossBrewing.com​ 14214 Fir St, Oregon City, OR 97045.
