Wolves & People and Rex Hill Vineyards Pop-Up at Function PDX
Wolves and People is heading back for another week-plus pop-up at Function PDX but this time with their friends Rex Hill Vineyards. W & P ran a very successful tap takeover style event at Function back in September, this time they will be poppin' bottles of wines and beers. On February 14th there will be fresh shucked oysters and Feb. 14-23rd Rex Hill’s winery chef, Jason Elder, will be preparing small plate. The 10-day event is dubbed the "Valley Underground" and runs February 13 - 23rd.
More from a press release:
The pop-up will feature six rotating Wolves & People beers on draft daily, such as Kismetic American stout and oak-aged Instinctive Travels saison. There will also be long-awaited bottles like this year’s La Truffe table stout brewed with Oregon white truffle-infused hazelnuts, and Honeycone hazy IPA in (award-winning) cans, to enjoy on site or take to go. Wolves & People recently launched a new Cellar Society, a reserves-based membership club attached to the brewery, and those seeking to join can sign up at the pop-up.
Rex Hill Vineyards will be pouring an array of reserve and highly-allocated wines from the 2015-2018 vintages including their 2015 REX Hill Grande Cuvée Sparkling, 2018 REX HILL Willamette Valley 7 Soils Chardonnay, 2017 REX HILL Willamette Valley Pinot noir, and 2016 REX HILL ‘La Colina’ Pinot noir.

ABOUT WOLVES & PEOPLE FARMHOUSE BREWERY
Opened in an historic white barn on Newberg’s century-old Springbrook Farm estate in late spring 2016, Wolves & People Farmhouse Brewery crafts an award-winning array of farmhouse and wild ales, barrel-aged specialties, hoppy new-school ales and lagers, and other rustic yet refined brews using local ingredients such as Eastern Oregon barley, Willamette Valley hops, local stone fruits, and estate-grown honey, plums, and wild yeasts. With its year round tasting room and beer garden, the brewery draws on innovative Belgian and other Old World traditions to reimagine farmhouse and wild ales with a modern sensibility. Founded by food, drink and travel writer Christian DeBenedetti, an Oregon native, its beers have been served around the U.S. and abroad in top beer bars and beer-friendly restaurants.
