Purple Haze
A light, crisp, and refreshingly fruity ale. A slightly bit tarter and fuller bodied than our Ruby recipe, this is a still pub favorite. Boysenberry flavor dominates the taste buds and a bold flavor eases your mind!!

Midnight Cry Cascadia Dark Ale
A Cascadia Dark Ale is a highly-hopped dark ale with a strong hop flavor and bitterness. The Midnight Cry starts with strong dark malt aromas, blending nicely with a mild earthy hop aroma. A lighter caramel malt taste rolls on the tongue and finishes with a distinct bitterness that is neither weak, nor overbearing. This ale should be called, "Midnight Cry of Delight", but that's just too long...

On Nitro Tap:
Stone Haven English Brown

The Stone Haven is a tip of the hat to the folks across the pond. This Northern English Brown Ale has a nice amber brown hue and a slight sweet aroma from the specialty malts. A nice tan head entices the drinker to really indulge in the first waft and sip of the quaff. Caramel and nutty tones reside on the tongue as the mild hop bitterness balances out the drink. A medium dry finish allows the aftertaste of malts to create a haven on your pallet. Grab a pint and enjoy! Cheerio!

Our Pope's Vienna Lager
The Vienna Lager is the original amber lager style. A light copper hue with a creamy white head give this drink an appealing look. Soft, rich malt tones are in the forefront of this beer with slight toast flavor from the high amounts of Vienna malts. A small hop aroma and flavor is present as well. The drink finishes a little drier with a slight hop and malt bitterness at the back end. We give the OSF version the name Our Pope's due to the fact that during fermentation the new Pope was appointed. Salud!

Kaleidoscope IPA
The Kaleidoscope is a very unique and thoroughly tasty beverage! A new variety of hops is in play this year and they are called Mosaic! Highly citrus hop flavors with touches of pineapple and mango give the aroma and flavor of this IPA a nice blend. Medium malt body allows more of the hops to persist throughout the drink. A new flavor of IPA is among us and it paints your tongue with a hoppy mosaic of flavor!!

Titan India Red Ale (IRA)
The Titan IRA is a wonderful take on a big malty red ale with the hop emphasis typically seen in IPAs. The Titan has a deep red hue with semi-sweet malt flavors. Big hop tones of citrus and floral notes give this drink a little extra power. With thoughts of Mythological deities Gaia and Uranus in mind, who sired the 12 Titans or gods, this drink is hopefully what legends could be made of!

Galena, Simcoe, Cascade and Brewer's Gold

Wind Storm Wheat
The Wind Storm will pick you up and blow you away as a well rounded wheat ale.  This ale is light in body but with a chewy mouth feel.  This wheat gives of bready malt complexities and then eases up with earthy and mellow hop flavors.  Spice like aromas harken the senses to a mild overall bitterness.  Easy goings for the stormy season.

Black Cat Porter
Superstitions aside, consider yourself lucky to get a pint of this porter. Full bodied with a mild robustness and flavors of chocolate and a slight roastiness.

Gunslinger Pale Ale
The Gunslinger in all his glory is bearing arms once again on tap at OSF. This is ale is medium in body with all the comforts that is characteristic to the style. Floral and citrus hops are distinguishable through the easy malt complex and shoot straight to your taste buds. A slight dry flavor allows the hops to linger a bit but not too long. Strap on your gun belt and see if you can hang with the Gunslinger!!

Devil's Bitter
Struck by the ferocious beauty of the Oregon coast, we set out to brew a drink worthy to be served from Devil's Punch Bowl.  Meet Devil's Bitter.  Shining like sun on sand, this crisp ale has a bright, fresh nose courtesy of a bountiful late addition of Golding hops.  The flavor is brisk but balanced, favoring bready complexity over malt sweetness.   This spring, as you await our annual release of Devils Bit Whiskey, raise a pint of Devil's Bitter and toast the power of nature and its delicious bounty.
